801 exam in two days, big storm coming

Hello all. I'm scheduled to take the 801 exam In two days. Where I live (NJ) we've been having crappy weather. Storm after storm.

Well, on the day of my exam we are supposed to yet again have another storm come through. We are expected to get 1-3 inches of snow, not too bad. But what I'm concerned about is the freezing rain. The last freezing rain storm we got there was about 3 inches of ice on my car. I hTe going anywhere when the weather is crappy and cold. Also don't like to drive in snow or ice.

So here is my question, will the testing center contact me if they happen to be closed that day because of the storm?

I tried to reschedule the exam for the next day but nothing available until March at this testing center which is the most convenient for me. I don't want to delay taking the exam any longer.

    Pearson Vue called me to reschedule due to weather a couple weeks ago. It stunk because I needed to be rerouted to a new facility because the original did not have an open seats after the bad weather.

    This is what I am trying to avoid. I actually found another testing center, not that much further away than the current one who has slots open on February 27th.

    Should I just go ahead an reschedule it for then? Would hate to reschedule it and then the "storm" is not as bad as they expected.
