The winter weather advisory for the area is seriously severely worded…lol. Says “tree damage and power outages are Likely.” And “travel could be nearly impossible.” I gotta say, I’ve never seen an advisory worded that severely before. Hyperbole?
-
As we know…it works until it doesn’t. Like this winter proved.
-
Well it’s what he told me a week or so ago when I said we had only one nor’easter to date this year. And his point is very good when you think about it. Anyway…very glazed out there tonight.
-
Glorified? It was an Absolutely massive flow.
-
See what Dendy just said…
-
Ya, That’s what I meant…cuz when you told me that that made sense.
-
Good glaze out there.
-
You called for a below average snow winter, with a quick end by February, and no big storms. And we had two already. Dendy informed me that back in the day, the monster SWFE snow storm in late January, would have been labeled a coastal/nor’easter back then. So you can say we had two coastals.
-
are you speaking for SNE…or just your tiny lil area?
-
Yup…Definitely that area in Mass/Springfield, always a minimum there, but just bad luck for Middlesex county in CT this year for them.
-
Well let’s hope it ends up wonderful my man.
-
The superintendents knew…smart decision to cancel here.
-
Kind of F’ed us here…good storm with the wind and blizzard conditions and all…but 13-14” is a let down compared to what others had…literally 48-50% of what you/they(SE Mass) had. That does leave a sting behind. Still a great winter though for me…but that keeps it from A+ for me. Unless we Get a good one in March… that could certainly redeem somewhat..but that’s a big IF as of now.
-
Heavy snow..28 degrees-great snow growth too. Accumulating on everything. As Seymour said…was the right call for inland areas FOR SURE. Elementary kids would be getting out here in 45 min-to an hour today…wouldn’t have been good.
-
And it’s colder here..29 with close to moderate snow now.
-
I agree…whether we like that, or not.
-
That’s on them for f’ing up last Wednesday. Our guy here had a delay, and then went to canceling last Wednesday …he made the right call. You’re guy not so much.
-
Light Snow…crawling to 60” lol. If the blizzard didn’t bone me, I’d be crawling to 80” too.
-
And more to come perhaps….
-
Oh ok..good to hear.
-
Ok I get that…but as the top administrator for a school district…it’s you that’s gonna take the heat for the call you make. If folks weren’t so sue happy…then absolutely I agree with you. But that’s not the case…so what else can one do when presented with a possible situation like his…? You play it safe..and save your job. And then nobody gets hurt and you’re a hero.
-
Ya but when it’s your job to provide safety…you’re gonna take the fall If you err on the wrong side. What’s so hard to understand about this? I agree…there are times when a cancellation may not be needed..if we knew exactly what the future may hold a few hrs from decision time…but we don’t. If it was your job on the line…what would you do? I’d play it safe in that situation.
-
He doesn’t get it. Another arm-chair QB.
-
Nobody is going to July you silly poster…again, you’re not understanding the full situation.
-
Also it’s a catch 22 for the supers…if you cancel or let out early and it doesn’t do much…people are bitching. If you make the call to go in and have school and it goes nuts…then people want to Sue you and say you’re negligent. Can’t win. So cancel or whatever, and err on the side of caution, and win the battle. And save your job.
