2/14 - 2/17 Cutter and Panhandle Hook

Recommended Posts

Models are now pretty much locked into the track, with some deviations on amounts.  We have a strong north wind blowing.  When the snow arrives, it may get bad fairly quickly. 

As of now, we are in school with a 1:30 PM dismissal.  We are scheduled to have Parent/Teacher Conferences from 2-6 PM.  We are scheduled to have school and conferences tomorrow, but obviously that is in question right now. 

I know our superintendent doesn't want to call off, as we only have 2 more snow days left before we start making up days (we've already used 3 days and had 2 late starts).  Plus it is still only Feb. 15th, most of our worst storms in history have come after this date.  He may not have choice by tomorrow morning.

I'm very much to the point where I am a pass on 3" snowstorms. It's going to all be gone by next week, but it's going to be cold enough after the storm where I'll actually have to shovel it. Gross. 6"+ or bust. 

Agree and once March hits its 12" minimum otherwise not worth tracking.

Haven't tracked this too much, but now I'm probably close to the bullseye in Michigan for this storm.  Funny how that goes.  Nothing is certain until less than 24 hours out, and even then, who knows.  

LOL. I'm stealing NMI's snow (at least some of it). This is just wacked

OAX dropping forecast amounts for the Omaha metro already... LOL

What a complete dog *#%@ Winter here… honestly I didn’t think it could get any worse than last year, however here we are again. At least we will be back in the mid and upper 40’s this upcoming weekend, so it’s not like it will be cold after this system passes by.
