Closing early in the day reeks havoc on administrators/RAs who have to deal with weekend behavior issues... we much prefer the early morning call.

I understand that perspective as well. However, most kids I've talked to seem to be going about business as if there is no school.

Makes things easier for everyone to just do it earlier IMO.

Check out the NE regional radar on the NWS page (loop). WTH is that radar echo that looks like a commit streaking from Maine to PA? What would cause that??

HAARP.

 

Sure is weird though. It's still stepping down the radar sites, just blipped on the NWS Baltimore loop. That's like six consecutive frames with that anomaly. Some kind of intra-site calibration?

I work as an administrator in Residence Life.  The second that e-mail goes our, our night becomes a nightmare.  There is a sizeable portion who are going to carry on as if it will be closed, but at the back of their head they will moderate because of the possibility that they need to get up for their 8ams. 

I think it depends on the culture of the school, but we are a huge binge drinking institution here and we aren't properly staffed tonight to deal with the behavior issues that would show up (public safety, RAs, etc. aren't on in as great a quantity during the week, and are usually off duty sooner than they would be on a weekend). 

My preference would be an e-mail that goes out at about 6am.  We did get an email from the president this afternoon that said they'd make a decision no earlier than 10pm tonight.

Disregard NAM.

 

THE 12Z NAM APPEARED TO BE A
NORTHERN OUTLIER WITH ITS 850MB JET MUCH FARTHER NORTH AND STRONGER
THAN THE REMAINDER OF THE GUIDANCE. THIS RESULTS IN THE NAM OFFERING
A WARMER SOLUTION. THE NAM APPEARS TO BE SUFFERING FROM CONVECTIVE
FEEDBACK ISSUES AS LIGHTNING BECOMES WIDESPREAD OVER THE SOUTHERN
STATES THIS AFTERNOON. GIVEN THIS WE DISCARDED THE NAM AND FOLLOWED
A GFS/ECMWF BLEND FOR THIS FORECAST.

 

 

In Atlanta for the conference, sucks to be missing the snow.  Praying for crushing this weekend...

That makes sense them. Bridgewater is a mainly commuter school (I am), so it's a bit different.

I just also heard there may be a decision at 9.

Either way, I understand where your coming from.

This is probably too much of a banter for this analysis thread but what the heck it's almost game time anyways...

 

But I was a senior at BC for the Jan 2005 blizzard and I had an exam the following day. I remember partying hard including climbing up some snow drifts onto the roof of the plex and sledding down the plex roof on a cafeteria tray. Only to come back to my room at 2 am without classes cancelled....yet.  Lucky for me they closed up shop at around 6 am lol. 

 

Good times.

 

Anyways somewhat on topic....

 

Crazy over-done RAP has 6-10" OTG in much of CT by 15z at the end of its 21z run lol. with region wide heavy snow and a crazy death band in RI and CT (probably bright banding or pingers?)

Haha I worked at BC until last year. Not even a little surprised. I always wished they would take thee damn trays away. Lots of people making crazy choices down the Duchesne hill or outside CLXF
