For Tuesday 2/12/24

To add another layer of prediction uncertainty, we have the prospect of an FID.  That would be a very simple and safe call to make, as there’s no risk of travel incidents and we would get a school day out of it.  But we all know how effective the FID’s are, so there is a tendency to not want to do this option if we can avoid it.  

I’m seeing 1-3” called for on most sources (3-5” on Weather Underground).  This might not be much in February, and as much as I’d like say the roads will be able to melt it all quickly, they’re calling for HEAVY snow between 6am and 8am.  The timing and rate of snowfall are the killers here. 

Therefore, I’m going to call it a FID tomorrow.  I feel like they’ll call a delay and then go FID, just in case the storm does next to nothing for some reason and we could still get in, but I’m giving 4 to 1 odds of an FID.
