They could have easily have called that this morning... nothing has changed. I agree for working parents, making that call this morning would have been ideal. Sorry if it causes you stress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No stress here... I work from home. I just hate incompetent decisions. Balt Co seems to do that a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing what a few miles can do. In the past, I've mirrored your accums fairly closely, with perhaps a little shaved off due to your higher elevation, but this has been really odd. At least it's snowing and not 58 degrees with a brown ski slope. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't understand the timing whatsoever. WWA was hoisted yesterday afternoon. They should have just let everyone know yesterday evening. So dumb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they just here something might come the next day... they delay or close.... it is not like the old days... I sound more and more like my parents every day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Couple of things we have going in our favor today: 1.) Cloud cover will limit high temperature potential. We might bust a degree or three below guidance. Solar radiation appears pretty minimal as we approach the lunch hour. 2.) Dewpoints in the low to mid 20s will help us wet bulb below freezing pretty quickly. 3.) Soil temperatures are just above freezing, so the ground isn't torched. Let's get this appetizer! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
