Final Friday Storm Update: Thursday Late Edition

The info is in and nothing really has changed in the last twelve hours. The Warning is in place; precipitation will start to come down around 2 AM; and we all wait with bated breath for that moment when the rain shifts over to snow.

Here's NWS Albany's latest snow forecast map:

We expect the snow to start between 7 and 11 AM tomorrow. We wish we could be more definite about the start of the snow, but that just isn't going to happen for this early March mega-storm.

As we stated early, we'll see a variety of decisions by Superintendents. The more cautious will opt for snow days and releases; the bolder ones will try to push through and get in a full day. We think the prudent decision would be to go with the early release if it is raining at 6 AM.

The 10:15 radar; precipitation is on the doorstep.

We do not have any early decisions for the Berkshires from Superintendents this evening, but plenty have been called in to our west.

We are not adjusting the True North Confidence meter at this time due to the uncertainty about the timing of the conversion to snow.

We'll post a running list of cancellations and releases as they come in tomorrow morning.
