it's amazing we close schools here for an inch of snow....

Well timing matters as much as snowfall, doesn’t it? If it were happening at 1am that’s very different from SN during the morning commute—especially with the number of clowns that drive past flashing red, tailgate buses, etc.

Not saying it’s great, but I get it.

Sarcasm…but the point was, they are the pros, but so are you. So they’re seeing something. 

My expectation of flurries is generally based off my annoyance with winter at this current moment. Was forecasted for 15” and got 5”.

Still-in a snowy winter you could rack up 10 snow days doing that.  The only saving grace this year was that 3 of the storms were on weekends otherwise we'd already be at 7-8 days with a few weeks to go

Its almost always about the timing...  If it is snowing during bus travel time, the vast majority of the districts will cancel... Although tomorrow, there may be a move to long delays to allow for any scraping and treatment routines to have run their course; given the lightness of the event... at least that is what I am hearing???

If it ends noon- 1:00 though .. that doesn’t really work. I’d bet most hill towns at least shut em down.

True, I hear you. Though I think if parents had a choice between a closure or doing remote learning for the day they’d choose the closure like 9 to 1 lol. It seems like everybody hated that (for some obvious reasons).

They’ll make every effort to get us in tomorrow…due to having two days off already this week. 

Their plan is to call a delay and see what road crews think around 9 am...  if things are trending well on roads, then you go in... I do like their call..

could be...  worth reconsideration early tomorrow... I never recommend what to do... but will voice my opinion about the current forecast trends, and how I expect roads to behave during the mid / late morning period...  Litchfield county may over-perform... Considering a long delay to reassess is certainly a good option... as long as parent are ready to react, which is a huge issue...

3k still solid with 1-3” and iso 4 in hills 

[metagraphica]

Refresher incoming. Expecting 2, maybe 3". 

I want all the snow gone, but f*ck it, if we're gonna snow let's make it historical.  Tomorrow, Thurs/Fri, next Monday MAX them all out.

58.6" for the season. Way above my seasonal average. Don't think we'll make it to the ~86" 14-15 record IMBY, but ya never know.
