With all due respect. If your kid is out in this. What are you worried about him getting up the driveway? Tell him or her to Buck up Johnny. And when they get home. Shovel the driveway.
Again. Their forecast is 1-3 this afternoon. 1-3 this evening. Forecast range from NWS is 2-6". Average that, and yes, their map says 4". But if you only get 2", that is an accurate snowfall forecast. This is not hard.
I just checked NWS forecast for Central Park. 1-3" this afternoon. 1-3" this evening. So. Total forecast is 2-6". If the Park gets only 2", that was an accurate forecast.
Really? Don't worry. Colder air is seeping in very slowly. Down to 30.8 here, and snow is picking up. It never actually stopped here. Just got real light with tiny flakes for 90 minutes.
