The northeast is preparing for a large, powerful winter storm to hit beginning on Friday. Forecasts predict all of New York will experience snow and inclement weather due to the storm, with the more severe activity occurring in the north and eastern parts of the State. SUNY System Administration wants to share info with all of our students, faculty and staff here at the Generation SUNY Blog and on Twitter @Generationsuny.

@GenerationSUNY collected tweets, photos, and school closings using #SUNYstorm. Review the news stream below:
