From Bloomberg's press conference this afternoon:

 Bloomberg: Only 4-6" of snow, minor storm.

A lot of rain I hear.

Bloomberg, pre-Sandy:

 Bloomberg: Monday will be a normal day of work in NYC. Sandy won't be anything major.

The storm is expected to be a blizzard by tomorrow afternoon/evening.

I would not expect the mayor to call school tomorrow.

Not after the days lost to Sandy.

But getting students home at 3:30 PM tomorrow afternoon after their day of Common Core test prep is going to be really interesting.

I would bet student attendance to be really low tomorrow.

The media is already saying that if you don't have to go to work tomorrow, you shouldn't, because by the time you have to go home in the afternoon/evening, it will be blizzard conditions.

Going to be a mess.
