We got the snow today. We just didn't get the snow day. Or the delay, for that matter.
The timing killed us this morning. It started about 90 minutes too late. On the ride to the GSD Outpost in Williamstown this morning, we observed light flakes at 6:30 AM. By 7:00 it was coming down hard, and that made for a brutal morning commute.
Supers were in a really tight spot. They were a little gun-shy from the last storm, and they decided to let the buses roll (except for Richmond). Despite the rough ride in to school, the decision to go with the whole day of school and not send students home early was the right one as the roads were only wet (in Williamstown) as temps had risen into the mid-30s.
But the great news is that the GSD Staff is optimistic about a plowable snow even for Monday. If the models are right--both are starting to come into agreement, a good sign--we could easily see 6 inches of snow with excellent timing for Monday.

We are pleased with the initial maps we're seeing, and opposed to today's storm, there's much more optimism in the air in the GSD Office. The track of the storm is still very much uncertain, so warm air could creep into the picture and turn this storm into the bust, but let's just wait and see what info we can gather in the next few days and see where we are by Sunday morning. This will be a fast-moving storm--which is not ideal--but delays seem almost certain and full snow days should happen for some in the County.
