I'm pretty sure I called in from outside the NYC area via long
distance and got through, despite being 976. Perhaps my LD carrier
won't do it. However, I note that the AAA book no longer lists the
number though it did before.

The www.1010wins.com newsradio site reported a number of road closures
in the area I wanted to visit. As the day went on, the closures
increased (trees were falling down). As of Friday night, traffic was
very bad (worse than normal) where I was headed.
