Timing--very good.
Superintendent--agreeable.
Snow Amount--okay
Amount of learning taking place tomorrow: no comment.
That about sums up the essentials for this storm. What's really fascinating about this storm is the Day-Before-Vacation influence. It's deep in our GSD Prediction Formula. (Believe us, it's in there.) Years of analyses have revealed that Superintendents are 60% more likely to opt for a snow day on a day before the December break than they are before the February break.
Here's a helpful image:
We like what we're seeing from this NWS image. As long as the snow is falling by 5 AM, we should see some impact on the length of the school day. Those with early releases already could see full snow days.
A recent report is raising concerns about how much snow Northern Berkshire will get. Totals might revert back to the 2-4 level. But our sources are telling us that ice is definitely creeping into the consciousnesses (that's a mouthful!) of the Superintendents. We'll have to wait until daybreak to see what the ice forecast is as we get into the morning hours.
The situation is still very much up in the air. We'll have updates starting around 5:30 AM tomorrow.
