Wind Chill day #1


Current Record: 4-4
Prediction:  Based on research, I believe Wind Chill Advisory will cause a 2-HOUR DELAY Thursday morning, especially since there’s more snow coming today. The only thing that would change my mind is if it becomes a Wind Chill WARNING or WATCH. That seems unlikely to happen, but there’s my caveat.

Post-Storm delay?


Current Record: 4-3
Prediction:  A delay is certainly possible tomorrow morning, but I’m getting the vibe that this storm isn’t as bad as expected, plus the 1-3 inches will be done falling by 8pm, giving plenty of time to plow and salt. Therefore, I’m calling NO DELAY TOMORROW. 
People in other counties that get more snow, say 5+ inches are more likely to get a delay.

Winter Storm?


Current Record: 4-2
Prediction:  This seems to be an especially tough one to call. Snow won’t start until HS students are on the buses, leaving an hour of light snowfall time before the elementary kids are picked up. This also keeps us from seeing what the weather will be like before making a call. If they wanted to let kids out early, let’s say around 11 and 12, that’s when the snow will be picking up. I don’t think it’s unrealistic to say that this could be a repeat of that last early dismissal, so fill up your cars before coming to school tomorrow morning.
As much as I’d like to say that we could get the kids in for what counts as a day, I think the county will play it safe and call off school tomorrow in the end. Perhaps there’s a chance the storm underperforms or starts much later than expected, or the roads are fine since the temp is above freezing, making us think we could have come in for a morning, but I don’t think they want busses getting stuck in the snow more than they don’t want to call off school for a nothing storm.
Odds are 50-50 I believe. I wouldn’t be surprised either way.

Delay tomorrow

Yeah, I know, PV doesn't have students in tomorrow, so if CV does as I predict, I'll call it a win.
1-3 inches, predicted all around...DELAY, and very certain.
Currently 2-2.
