What else is there to do?
"Your forecast was off by thiiiiiiiis much."In the face of a major bust, I could throw myself at your mercy or use vaguely ribald terms like "dry slot" and "moisture cutoff," but instead I will just move ahead.
What else is there to do? I am a (pretend) meteorologist. So allow me to meteorologize.
First, it's cold as balls outside. That much is plain to anyone who has ventured out this evening. To quantify it: we're at 22 degrees right now. It will get down to 12 (twelve! a single-syllable number) overnight. Wind chills will be below zero even through Wednesday morning's commute.
On Wednesday, it will only get up to 27, with wind chills in the teens.
Yes, it's been a two-Hoff kind of day. Go ahead, judge me.Thursday brings a chance of snow, thanks to another clipper. Expect snow to start 4 or 5pm Thursday and continue intermittently overnight and into the wee hours of Friday morning (maybe 2 or 3am). Snow will be light and will accumulate only an inch or two, but we could see a delay out of it.
Chance of early dismissal Thursday, 17.98%
Chance of delay Friday, 32.9%
Chance of cancellation Friday, 11.1%
Colder toward the weekend. Very windy on Friday with a high of 31. Even colder on Saturday (high of 22) and Sunday (high of 28). Chance of snow from late Sunday afternoon through Monday morning, but I can't even go there yet. Like, emotionally. I will begin to look more seriously at it on Thursday. (I am looking forward to using the Super Bowl as a springboard for storm name, if it turns out to be anything.)
Looking ahead, Thursday 2/5 and Friday 2/6 look potentially winter weathery.
Stay tuned for updates!
