40/70 Benchmark Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Yeah, pretty much all schools here were cancelled. I think the forecasts made for this storm are an overcorrection of the previous storm. As someone said earlier, there will be a lot of questioning by media and parents when this is done. I am not bashing the NWS or any forecasters in any way...tough decisions to make. Bad calls beget bad calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Some bad forecasts and decisions to cancel school were made. I think the only way Northeast Mass can get something is from some OES band. I can't remember the storm, I think it was 2 years ago and I believe in December, where Northeast mass, especially Boxford had almost 3 feet of snow on an OES band. With the winds from the Northeast blowing that strong, I can see some areas enhanced due to that, but that will be localized to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bostonseminole Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Trust me. Parents hate hate hate early dismissals more than anything But yeah. yeah I know.. I'm a parent and to be honest I rather have them home than worry about some a-hole slamming into my wife in the middle of a snowstorm because she had to pick them up early... I understand that is not the same case for single parents or parents who both work, it's not an easy decision but when NWS is forecasting 6-8" what do you do?

CT Rain Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Weird storm. HRRR and NAM still quite bullish but I hate the way radar/current obs look for the I-91 corridor. The SREFs have also backed off quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
