Reminder, no NPPS meeting tomorrow. 

I'll be teleworking because of a very early Paris meeting but there could be other reasons making tomorrow a good day for telework. Up to you.

Accumulating Snow Expected Late Tuesday, 2/11, into Wednesday, 2/12

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for all of Long Island from 9 p.m. this evening until 7 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 12.  Snow is expected to begin later this evening, with total snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches on the ground by Wednesday morning.

Expect slippery conditions on site and on Suffolk County roads. Wear proper footwear, watch for slippery areas, drive carefully, remove snow accumulation from your vehicle before driving, be aware of your surroundings, and avoid potential hazards when walking and driving. Use extra caution when exiting your vehicle as parking lots may be slippery.

CLEARING SNOW / PARKING LAB VEHICLES: F&O's Production Division will clear and sand roadways, parking lots, sidewalks, and building entries. All employees who are responsible for Lab vehicles are asked to park and cluster them in corners of parking lots tonight to allow for more effective snow removal. Please avoid parking these vehicles by building entrances, since this makes snow removal difficult.

Ice melt is available in buckets at building entrances and may be used by anyone. If an unsafe condition has potential to cause an immediate danger to anyone on site, call Ext. 2222. From a cell phone, dial 631-344-2222. If you see something unsafe relating to your facility or building that is not an emergency, contact the Facility Operations Center at Ext. 2468.

The Office of Emergency Management is monitoring the storm's progress. If necessary, the Lab may consider a delayed opening on Wednesday morning. Staff will be notified about any changes to the Lab's operating status by 6 a.m. Wednesday through the Everbridge mass notification system, www.bnl.gov, employee email, and (631) 344-INFO (4636). For Everbridge to work for you, your contact information in Workday must be current. Log in to Workday now to review your details and make any necessary changes.
