Re: good luck with the travel…'historic' blizzard forecast...

I was in Cambridge for years and this isn't "normal" - all the snow removal
equipment will be out, but if the worst-case scenario happens here the city
will be effectively locked down. I'll be honest, I'm pretty concerned that
the airports won't have recovered by the time we're all flying in on
Sunday, and that the area will still be in a snow emergency.

What happens with our space and food if MIT is closed on Monday?
