It angers me.....little fu*kers won't be at it tmw- actually ...that may not be the case. you may hear them either way. i've noticed this year to year (indulge the OT for a moment...) that birds tend to chirp suddenly around the first of Feb, and. ..they do so even during snow storms. last year during some of those Feb blitzes i heard birds outside my window as the dark of night succumbed to the first light of the mornings. it evoked thoughts and sentiments of april as i climbed out of slumber, thinking also the storm supposedly in hand must had missed. only to see white out when peering out the window. ..weird... i think it is species dependent - tru -but also, i think they trigger based around the solar rad returning. that's my hunch. light earlier means start arguing about who gets spring-lade.

HoarfrostHubb Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 School systems sometimes will hinge on advisories vs warnings... not 100% but some consider it. Delay vs closure, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's hard for people not involved in large tourist industry to understand. I think a 18 hr warning is about right. I know the politics of local office verification too. Doesn't make a damn difference to me. I have shut the place down on OKX advisory and kept it open on warning but I am not the GP Typically the window is 12-24 hours. But it's also based on 80% confidence. I don't think the confidence level of warning criteria snow is quite that high, especially that far west.

BostonWX Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Tons of employers base their decisions based on nws warnings.
