FYI Blizzard warning in Louisiana. Crazy times.  

National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 600 AM CST Tue Jan 21 2025 ...

New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Thursday night) Issued at 429 AM CST Tue Jan 21 2025

Observations coming into the WFO this morning indicate that several locations along the coast have been gusting to 35 MPH along with visibilities in the 1/2 1/4 mile range in heavier snow bands. As a result, we`ve opted to issue what is, to this forecaster`s knowledge, the first blizzard warning ever issued by this office for Jasper and Orange counties as well as Cameron, Calcasieu, Jeff Davis, Acadia, Lafayette and Vermilion parishes.

Low of 9 btw.

Between holidays, snow, whatever today is, and the flu going through the house, my kids have had 5 days of school in a month. I’m getting radicalized into the Maryland @mattie g

Flu has been tearing through this area, both my kids just had it.  And yeah, why are they closing?

Man I wish this was DC! Barnes Corners NY. The truck was clean at midnight and the homeowner (I’m in an airbnb) has had a plow come by twice already. Estimating 27” so far.

Are you in that firehose band south of Watertown? Gonna be some gaudy totals in there.  Did you bring XC skis or snowshoes?

I’m sure the high school exam schedule is part of the decision, but yea, pretty lame to be closed.

I've started to mellow a little bit in the last year or so, but I'm still willing to make it know that I'm pissed off if Fairfax County makes a lame decision. We're two hours late today, but I've been told that they'll do that for cold mostly because the buses often take a lot longer to get going in colder conditions.

We only got to 12, but I think that's because of the clouds that MN Transplant mentioned. Understandable call by the county to delay even if it didn't get as cold as expected.

Might have a hard time getting the busses started and the building heated. This happened a few times when I was a kid where, even with heater coils in the fuel, the busses just wouldn't turn over.

P&C says 15-21" today with high of 9 degrees - WOW!  Looking forward to more pics.  I have to chase LES one day

I never though of an Airbnb to snow chase. I will keep that tin mind. I always looked for hotels because they have gyms, pools, and hot food if and when you get snowed in.
