I believe that has to do with the idea that the 6z and 18z does not get any new info fed into the operation models. I know that was the case years ago I'm not sure its the same now.
Accidents everywhere in the city. It is very slick out. Already had to deal with somebody who slid into a telephone pole. I wouldn't be venturing out if you don't have to.
Yeah im thinking we shouldn't get too bent out of shape with the OPs. There is a signal for a possible big storm for our area and multiple chances at it too.
