BINGHAMTON At mid-morning Thursday, meteorologist Bryan Greenblatt had put in a long night at the National Weather Service office next to the Binghamton Airport, and it wasn t over yet. The day shift can t make it in, said Greenblatt, who reported for work at 11 p.m. Wednesday. He was still on the job a dozen hours later.
That s what happens when 39.9 inches of snow falls in less than 24 hours: Even the Weather Service staff can t get in.
This Buffalo-style storm was one for the Binghamton books, breaking the record for two-day winter weather, which had been 35.3 inches, recorded March 14-15, 2017.

Daniel Povinelli was in high school when he first read about a clever experiment, published in 1970, that showed chimpanzees but not monkeys can recognize themselves in mirrors. I bought into the story of mirrors and self-recognition hook, line, and sinker, he recalls. Because it is a compelling story.
All it took was a simple mirror, or so the story went, to reveal that our close chimpanzee relatives are self-aware, with the same kind of basic self-concept that humans have.
