Weather Update for Monday Feb 2nd.

Weather will affect our commute Monday whether or not the groundhog sees the effect of the snow tomorrow.

Based on how I read the weather, I’m going to get up a little earlier so I can shovel a bit and travel in slowly and safely. Travel based on your experience, local conditions and be safe.
