Sunday Clipper Update

Just a quick update. We know many of you are very eager for the first delay or snow day of the year, but it's probably not going to be this storm. We'll get 3-4 inches in most locations, with slightly higher amounts for the eastern hill towns.

The problem for delays tomorrow (Monday) is twofold. One is that much of the snow is melting on the road. Two is the timing of the end of the snow. It's still slated to end around 1 AM. Maybe a generous superintendent will throw you a bone and allow a little time to clean off the car, but we wouldn't count on it.

Not encouraging.

And although it doesn't have to do with snow, there's A LOT of sickness in schools these days. The flu is doing its best Covid impersonation. While we did hear rumors that some elementary schools in the area shut down recently due to a high number of sick teachers, it's possible some schools could close for a day or two this week due to widespread illnesses. It's not clear what one or two days off will do to reduce the spread of the flu bug, but it's possibly a strategy school officials might employ before our next vacation. We'll just have to see about that.

We don't have much new to report about the bigger Friday storm. Models will start to move toward agreement Tuesday and Wednesday.
