    One thing we normally don't have in our favor is ground temps leading up to the storm.  Anywhere north of 40-85 in NC is frozen solid.  Every flake is going to stick.  I expect most all school systems that are on the fence today will cancel by this afternoon now that the Euro is out and slightly increasing totals.  This may not be a big dog, but it will certainly be a good dog for many.

    Word on the down low is Wake county is leaning to closing after first thinking early dismissal. Given the unknown because we can’t predict when in a 4 hour window it’ll touch the ground, I hope they close. Wake is a massive county with a ton of buses. They share buses between hs, ms, and es so they can’t close at a specific time. Even with an early dismissal it could jump up and bite them. I know k5 that don’t get home til 5 on a regular day because if shared routes.

    The WSWatch starts at 1:00pm tomorrow for us in Wake. I would almost guarantee that they will do an early release tomorrow, even though the snow doesn't rally arrive until closer to dinner time

    Probably need a 3hr release at the least to get the littles on long routes home by 2ish. I was just told they don’t know because it depends on when it makes it to the ground and they can’t predict that well. That’s a nightmare when it’s expected to stick immediately.

  3. Start time for precip as sparsely reported on some stations still and seems to be a huge window of time still. Seeing anywhere between 3pm to 8pm for Wake. Hope they pin this down better for commutes/schools. Hoping schools bite the bullet and just close early to get kids home. Some k5 don’t get home til 5 or after as well as some charter transportation for k12. 
     

    Opinions on start time for Rowan, Guilford, and Wake?

    My friend..this is a tale as old as time. i'll give you some advice.  Always remember that storms will always trend towards a drier, warmer, or northern solution. Those are the default settings. Us folks in the south need to go 3 for 3. Always an uphill battle.  Lower your expectations.

    I have zero expectations for the weather here. I know how it goes here in central NC. I was born and raised here. I was just saying the freak outs cloud the info. I was making light of it by saying everyone should go to bed. Let it ride.

    Yeah. But we have to expect TV Mets (especially in the RDU area) have to keep it really downplayed because 1. We are in a cursed spot and 2. People irrationally get mad at them like they are supposed to be psychic. 
     

    also people notoriously take numbers and lines and colors for religion and measure how far they are from the boundary lines from these color maps. Which, you can’t do. You can’t even take these models completely by visual. But, the public does.
