My baby son is due tomorrow morning, so it may very well be that we'll be driving through the snow on slippery roads to get to the hospital. It won't take much snow to make the roads dicey especially with cold temperatures overnight. Fortunately it's only a 10 minute drive and we'll give ourselves extra time to get there. 

Will probably be busy over the next couple of weeks, but I'll try to pop in here if there's something else to track.

May it snow tomorrow and everyone gets at least 1"!

Awesome! Congrats

Congrats and good luck! My sister was born during the 2002-2003 winter (or the "one where it snowed a lot" as they call it) and my parents have similar stories. I'll try to be the intern filling in for your absence posting wise!

 I think this is a great point - social science is really going to be a factor here.    Tomorrow's decision will be made with Tuesday's decision fresh in their minds, and they'll absolutely be scared to death of another delay or closing that ends up not needed.   And it seems like a 2h delay wouldn't accomplish much tomorrow, as it will be cold and snowing 2 hours later.    It's probably either a "normal day" or "closure" decision.

Snow days are made up so if it’s risky, just close. Who cares if the school day is December 5 or June 5?

This thread is reminding me why I love summer:  the long hours of daylight, the warm breezes, and not have to look at a stupidly-inflated Kuchera plot for 8 months.
