ITHACA, N.Y. — With so many places closed due to Winter Storm Stella, we wanted to know, what exactly is open in Tompkins County?

So several of us asked people to send us pics on social media of places that are open. We’d like to keep this list running throughout the storm, so please keep sending in photos to jalmendarez@ithacavoice.com or text at 210-550-0087. Report closings throughout the county to Kelsey O’Connor at koconnor@ithacavoice.com

Here’s what we’ve got so far (Note: Some places pictured below may have opted to close since the publishing of this list. Please call these locations before heading out! And remember, police are closing the roads at 3 p.m. Tuesday until further notice.)

Plowers are out all over the county! No days off for these workers, who have been on the road since 3 a.m.  Submitted by Dan Saracino with the help of ‎Barbara Gehm-Jordan‎
