As the snow continues to pile up outside, so do the closings.

In fact, the folks at the local TV stations may be better served to list the establishments that are actually open during the current blizzard.

All of the major shopping malls in the area -- Bayshore Town Center, Brookfield Square, Mayfair and Southridge -- are closed today.

Most schools in the area are closed and numerous businesses are closing early.

Our best advice? If you have to go out today, call to make sure that your destination is open before you depart.

Oh, and drive safely.
