70% chance of 1 to 2 to 4 inches on warm roads on a freezing night.   LOTS of variables, but I think a two-hour delay is the safe middle-of-the-road prediction (what’s so safe about the middle of the road?). Closure doesn’t seem TOOO likely, unless we get 4 inches and they fall in the morning, but a normal day isn’t out of the question either, given the 70% chance.  Official Prediction: TWO-HOUR DELAY.  Maybe I’ll get to 7-7 this year.

Current Record: 0-0 Prediction:  I was thinking CLOSING for a couple of days now, given that it was meant to be substantial snow fall (2 or 3 inches) and would continue snowing past noon, during the morning commute.  However, the predictions have been trending lower.  I guarantee at LEAST a delay.  They might even call a delay tonight.  It’ll likely be gameday decision tomorrow morning, but I think I’m leaning on CLOSING tomorrow being more likely.  Why?  Timing is bad.  Temperatures will be low.  We should consider our staff come from all over the county.  Freezing Rain is being thrown around in some forecasts.  I wouldn’t be surprised if people in the valley end up thinking, “we could have gone in”, but I think the roads north of us and in the mountains will make a good case for the closing.   Final Prediction: Closed Schools Tuesday, but don't turn off your alarms altogether.  Here's the background research: Winter...

This one’s a little tricky, as are all the days where wind chills are the only major factor. These wind chills are colder than the January 20th delay by 10˚.  We have a Cold Weather Advisory in effect from 1am to 10am on Thursday, calling for wind chills as low as 15 below zero.  As much as I would love to have a normal day and end to the school week, I think the wind chills are going to cause delays.   Therefore I predict a 2-hour delay on Thursday.

 Welp! We got the 2 snow days!!! The roads look pretty ok right now, which made me think that MAYBE we wouldn't need a delay Wednesday.  However there is a Cold Weather Advisory for Wednesday morning calling for cold wind chills 10 to 15 below zero.  We've delayed for this in the past, and it's right after a snow day.  Hence, I believe we will have a 2-hour delay tomorrow.  Stay tuned for possible delays due to the cold, as Thursday and Friday like they have similar or colder "feels like" temperatures.
