So, will it be a bust?
Local NOAA forecasters are now calling for a light to moderate snow event for our area. The best chance of snow will be for western and central New England. There are two distinct phases to this storm. One will definitely impact the commute for Thursday morning; the other phase will bring snow to the region in the evening later that day.
For now let's say 2" or so (slightly more in South County; slightly less in the north) for the morning part and an additional 2-4" for the evening portion. Is that enough for a snow day? Probably not unless the forecast for snow increases a few inches. And it also depends on what the forecast is for midday Thursday. Evening activities for Thursday may be in jeopardy, which isn't great news for cagers and thespians.
Our last two storms started out with 6-10" predictions, and look what happened there (hint: not a lot). We're not overly excited about our prospects for a snow day, but we could see a delay.
The GSD Staff is still holding out hope, though, as this system has the potential to become a bigger threat to our area with the many variables in play for this complicated snow event.
We're bringing in extra staff tonight to monitor the storm.
