There’s no reason to look at models and forecast. Just let happen what will happen and nobody knows that ahead of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His area kept showing up on the clowns I actually thought he may waste some QPF to get accumulation but he accumulated quick. Once that happen I figured he was good to go. Definitely more than I forecasted. Was 10:1 or better there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would mostly get late openings or early dismissals. Now if the Sun is too bright or its above 75 school closes for a week Back in the day we may have been dismissed an hour early....

This is a random aside and I take no position on school delays/closings, but are drivers much worse than back in the day? I mean, school buses are getting hit and damn near run off the road in good conditions. I imagine it’s even worse during these marginal snow events where people today still drive like it’s sunny and 70°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roads were much worse back then during storms and after storms....During the late fall and winter we walked to school in the dark. School began earlier back then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, school buses are getting hit and damn near run off the road in good conditions. I imagine it’s even worse during these marginal snow events where people today still drive like it’s sunny and 70°. The uptick in school bus crashes seems alarming and yeah drivers are much worse. I have a friend who works for the DOT and is involved in research on the driving statistics and he said it's been alarming and scary since COVID, particularly with DUI's. People are much more aggressive trying to get around school buses or pass them and even blowing by them when they have the stop sign out. But bus drivers have some fault too, particularly on the highway. You can't have school busses on the highway going 40-50 mph, especially when they're changing lanes. There was a time when I would be driving down 91S and entering Hartford, if I caught it at a specific time, there would be two school busses merging onto the highway and getting over 3 lanes to catch the route 2 exit...it was scary because they're doing 30 and everyone else is doing 60-70. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
