Coco Approaches

We don't have a heckuva lot of new info to tell you about Storm Coco, which means we're still on track for 4-6" of the fluffy white stuff.

We're big fans of this map...


...as well as this quote from the Winter Weather Advisory:

MAXIMUM SNOWFALL RATES...COULD APPROACH UP TO 1 INCH PER HOUR
DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE ON WEDNESDAY.
There's always verga with these storms, so if you look at the radar it will be a little misleading right now. As of 9:30, the snow would appear to be an hour away, but the reality is it won't come down until after midnight. We should see a few light snow showers close to midnight and then a break and then the heavier stuff around 4 am. There's a nice, heavy band in northern Kentucky that should track through Pittsburg and head our way. Just how far northerly this band of snow creeps determines if we get 3" or 7".

Best case scenario is the entire county shuts it down for tomorrow. Worst case scenario is the snow takes too long to move in for the morning commute and it snows hard during the day while everyone is at work and then mostly clears out by the time the buses roll in the afternoon. Again, a delay would not make any sense tomorrow because of the timing of the heavier snow.

Even though our confidence has grown throughout the day, we still are holding back slightly because of the low amount of moisture. The timing will have to be just right. We'll bump our confidence meter to 55 for Northern Berkshire, but the folks down south have a 75% chance of a snow day.

Get your homework done so you can be pleasantly surprised if your school's name scrolls across the bottom of the screen tomorrow!
