Basically the whole city is shut down. They closed school for the week.

This snows going to melt and then turn to ice at night. We also have a lot of bridges here living near the water. It’s easier to just stay home.

Gulf of America gets snow, Gulf of Mexico didn’t. See how things change ?
 
But I moved from Upstate NY, and when I was growing up, 8 inches was just another day, they wouldn't close school.. like ever. I lived on a hill, and the school bus had Chains, and ports by the wheels to drop sand if they needed.
Where in Upstate? I spent a number of years in Rome, NY, after getting out of the Navy. We had to climb 120-foot towers at the top of Star Hill, near Turin, N.Y., in the dead of winter. I can recall one winter when my at-the-time wife managed the local Sears store. During one particularly bitter week and a half when the temps were -30 without adding the "real feel" factor in and they sold $4,500 in battery sales alone!

(My wall map of the US has taped up changes detailing the name of that gulf and that mountain in Alaska.)
(Edited a third time because my English sucks.)

Came from a little town , Glen Aubrey. It is near Endicott or Binghamton .. But yup, I know Rome, onida, Utica... went to Whitney Point school, Broome Tech. More school in the carolinas..
 
Finally finished the dishwaser repair, still need to put the bottom kick plate back on. I put a rubber matt down and bought a leak sensor alarm to go under it plus under the sink.
It is the rope type, senses a leak all along the rope.
A few pictures... I have one sensor but split the feed so it goes 2 directions. 1 down under the cabinets to get to the dishwaser (it's around the corner from the sink) and the other stays in the sink cabinet. You can see the rope curled around under the washer in the last picture.
