Monsoon's update - the lull...
Most area districts are closing early this morning, perhaps realizing that, given the snowfall, they might have been better served keeping everyone at home. Dismissal times are generally in the 11am - 12:30pm range.
This timing is particularly advantageous, as the snowfall lull is now upon us. From about 11am to 2 or 3pm, we'll have little or no snowfall to contend with. This should allow those with early dismissals to get home safely--and allow those stuck in school for a full day to get home safely as well.
The "back end" cranks up in the late afternoon and overnight. I am still thinking we're in for 8-10 inches tonight (on top of the 3-4 inches from this morning). Most of us should expect a foot of accumulation. Snow tapers after midnight.
Updated delay/cancellation percentages for Thursday coming soon...
