NEJeremy Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 School districts anymore plan for snow days and allot a certain number just in case. If none have been used (like none were in December) schools are more willing to call it early because if they aren’t used they are wasted. PLUS even though it’s not much, we all know how awful tomorrow’s commute is going to be. Nebraska drivers lose their minds and common sense in inclement weather.I was thinking that exact same thing. If OPS had used a bunch of days already, than I feel like they would have held off on their decision. They called at 430 which is pretty early for them to call. A snowday tomorrow seems questionable at best, especially given model trends all day. Maybe they're more worried about the ice than I am. This will probably end up being a bad rap for weather forecasters as I am sure a lot of the parents and kids assume we're getting a foot of snow now and when we end up with 1/2" and the roads not bad, they'll all be pissed that the weathermen got it wrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig-OmahaWX Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 For schools to close tomorrow is an absolute joke and embarrassment to our community here. An inch or two of snow warrants closing? When I was younger it was 6 or more inches. 3 Quote 2018-2019 Snowfall Totals So Far : 59.5" For More Winter Weather Forecasts for 2017-2018 : https://www.facebook.com/snowdayweather/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minny_Weather Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Schools here typically hold off till the morning. Except last year during the ice storm when they announced closing at 11:30am the day before and it ended up being sunny and 40 the day they cancelled.

Minny_Weather Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Not trying to sound like a "sunshine pumper," but radar trends are way different from model trends. If it continues being slow, it'd allow the second band to set up sooner and MAYBE we have a shot at another inch from what models are showing.
