snowfan Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 They were spooked in early Jan.. all it takes is one time and they are flinching on the side of caution for all preceding threats for the rest of the season.. I would lean towards a full closing across the board for tomorrow. They better because I already punted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Yes, and snowquester I'm sure still weighs even after last year. This is going full throttle a bit later though. I do think basically everything will close.. thought they might do tonight tho. It's funny though. They've had delays and a closure for a lot less this year. The 4" pixie dust storm a couple of week ago which ended before dawn comes to mind...the gov't closed for that (as did schools). I was surprised, thinking it would be a 2 hour delay with optional telework/unscheduled leave. That said, it was very cold, so maybe there was concern about the state of the roads even though they looked clear by mid-morning. Assuming things go as planned in this event, the last thing they want is another Commutageddon in the afternoon. I think the forecast and discussions have made it clear that the early morning might not look too bad, but things will go downhill from there rather rapidly.

RDM Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Shot of Kirschwasser anyone? sicher (sure in German), or perhaps some Apfelkorn. A few shots of that out of the freezer and anything that ails you will disappear. lived in Germany 6+ years and could not avoid partaking. The worse German bier is better than the best American beer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'm still trying to figure out my grade for the winter. I'm not sure this is our last shot, but assuming it is this feels like how I felt just after the Seahawks made that incredible catch at the 5 and ran the ball in to win the Super Bowl in the easiest and most anticlimatic fashion possible. Ha! Yeah, I didn't have a dog in that fight for the Super Bowl. But I couldn't believe the call to throw it in the endzone instead of pounding it in from 2 yards out, when they had 3 chances and a guy who was walking all over the Pats.

wxmeddler Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Weren't you guys out there in a brutal snow drought a few months ago? Still are.. 8" all year. Only one 1" storm (1.6"). Think we're 15% of normal and -4°C below normal. Cold and dry. Anything has to be better than Fargo. I give you credit, you have to be crazy to live there. Ya betcha. At least they're paying me.
