Snow day Monday?

I'm seeing 2.3 inches. I guess that's what your husband calls a LOT?

That’s not a forecast. That’s an app doing a model dump. You have to follow an actual meteorologist like CWG or NBC and see what they say, and right now they are saying they don’t know yet.

First, I don't know why you're referring to PP's spouse.

Second, if you're so stupid that you're looking at weather apps, that all work off crappy algorithms, when this is a forecast that's difficult to interpret for even the most seasoned meteorologist... you don't deserve to have a seat at the table. You KNOW that 4 days out, no reliable forecasting can give you a specific amount of snow. For this specific system, no one can give you a range. It's a difficult forecast.

Chances are increasing. The GFS american model has shown a big storm for a while now but it's been innacurate so people have been discounting it. However the 1800 run of the more accurate Euro model shifted way west, more in line with the GFS model than before. Seem to be waiting for the midnight Euro to see if the trend holds.

* Chance of at least 1" of snow: 40 percent.
* Chance of at least 3" of snow: 25 percent.
* Chance of 6" or more: 15 percent.
* Chance of 12" or more: 5 percent.


In other words, a 60% chance of nothing (just rain).

Lame. Can’t handle your kids at home?!


I think people are tired of the last minute schedule changes that come with snow. No one wants to officially postpone or cancel things unless or until they’re sure it is needed. And if you’re in a position where you’re a point of contact about the scheduling of things, tired of all the messages you get from people who want to know what’s going on when you are not getting info any sooner than they are and aren’t in a position to make any decisions. I guess you wouldn’t know what that’s like because you are the type who sits on your butt. You love when snow gives you an excuse to be your lazy self.

That's out of date already. Chances of accumulating snow are now higher, but we won't know for sure until it's practically upon us.

CWG:
National Weather Service highlighting "potential" for heavy snow Sunday-Monday (Sunday night main period of interest). Afternoon models did gently go in a snowier direction. We need to see if it was a blip or a trend. We'll post an update on tonight's (Thursday) models around 1130-11:45p.
Posted 745p Thursday

I hope it doesn't snow at all. High school spring sports tryouts begin Monday. Baseball fields are beat up enough.

No one I know has any appetite for any closure. Kids are never in school. This is far from acceptable

You do realize that FCPS can’t control the weather, right? It’s not their fault there’s more snow in the forecast.

If you are seeing a specific amount it's almost completely wrong and useless - like you!

Just remember we had a light snow storm on Spring day a few years ago. Our weather seems to be under the effects of high sugar.

Sure but they sure do control the rest of the calendar. And it has been a joke!
