Damage In Tolland Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Why did the entire state of Mass. close schools today for 1-3 inches of snow? Ct schools doing it right and going to school with an early dismissal. Can't Mass DOt handle a few inches of powdery snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Scooter's gonna get 18 inches of snow out of this. Congrats man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan11295 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 NECN rather bullish across the board in Mass. No guidance gives me 14" of snow unless you are assuming 20:1 ratios (and they are not going to be that high generally). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb65 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I hope the 0z GFS is right with the bombing mid levels so that the wealth gets spread to all. Either way I'm feeling good for 10"+ imby with jackpots just to my SE. Fwiw check out the sref snow probs on ewall for 3z, they really outline the CT screw zone and it definitely seems centered around NE CT. I hope it's wrong but it's showing up on a lot of guidance.

Ct schools doing it right and going to school with an early dismissal. Can't Mass DOt handle a few inches of powdery snow? Well, there's no lull forecasted for up here. And, I didn't say that we should have schools closed, though I understand why they are with 3-5" anticipated by the end of the day. My comment with respect to Somers (I didnt' realize it was a state-wide thing) was tied to the fact that conditions are good during the lull--so if you're getting them there, why not keep them there. Anyway--silly argument. Enjoy the snow. 6-8" or bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ct schools doing it right and going to school with an early dismissal. Can't Mass DOt handle a few inches of powdery snow? They're still licking their wounds from 12/17. Besides, guidance has it pretty steady in eastern areas with ocean enhancement later and you can already see it developing on radar. But yes...today is overkill. We got the automated message last night....no school till Monday. Within seconds I went upstairs to tell my daughter but she already knew. Texting. We picked her and 3 friends up from a nye party around 12:30am Tuesday night and they pressed me about school vis a vis snow. My comment was that I thought they'd cancel Thursday and Friday because it's easier to reset Monday and I bet that went into the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it's not going to be a radiating night, should hills manage to cool down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Windcredible! Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Why did the entire state of Mass. close schools today for 1-3 inches of snow? Ct schools doing it right and going to school with an early dismissal. Can't Mass DOt handle a few inches of powdery snow? Not even gonna need an early dismissal here...main show doesn't start until after 5pm. But there were a few schools down here that closed...North Stonington, New Britain, Southigton...all for <0.5". Not sure where they got their forecast. I've been thinking 4-8" all along for CT...still looking good. SW areas may end up on the low end...especially with the WAA underperforming.

Pretty sure most closed because they knew they'd most likely close Friday and didn't see point in heating up buildings for one day. Might as well close up and start strong on Monday.. Maybe...

If anything, delayed opening would make more sense than early dismissal. Unless things redevelop, it looks like the lull will reach up here---and not ramp up too much later on as I'll be so far from the coastal. Thinking the lower end of my 6-8 range when all is said and done as I think the overrunning will be underperforming here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikebeer Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 My kids wish this were the case, but it's not. Western suburbs of Boston almost all open, all day (Brookline, Dover, Framingham, Hopkinton, Natick, Needham, Newton, Sherborn, Wayland, Wellesley, Weston, Westwood).
