<p class="MsoNormal">Higher-than-normal temperature is expected through the rest of the week for the central New York region. The weather condition is forecasted to require increased electrical demand which will elevate the cost to all consumers. To help
mitigate the impact to our institution we need to look for opportunities for reducing electrical consumption.
