NorthArlington101 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I don't think I've ever seen this color depicted on a model run, check the FRZA supposedly over CHO. Can red hot fire accrete? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozz Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Back in my day, schools never declared their closings in advance, and always took until the early morning to decide, unless it was a KU storm. Seems like deciding the evening before is a fairly new thing. Wait, why am I talking like a boomer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandurin Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 that's probably more a reflection of the increase in forecasting skill than change in school closing procedure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I made the call this afternoon to close the business tomorrow (in Winchester.) Always a stressful decision. It had better snow a decent amoun there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with the snow fall amount contest we should have had a school closing contest on who would go first and last. Frederick, Carroll and Washington always hang on. What is even funnier is counties all around us are now closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
