Snowday or Bust -- Update on the Feb. 6 Storm

From NWS Albany, we have received a Winter Weather Advisory. Terms of the arrangement are 1-3 inches of snow with some sleet all occurring between the hours of 4 AM and 6 PM on Thursday.

The GSD Staff is still not enamored with this storm. While it's encouraging that sleet will mix in, that sleet will fall mid-morning and should not impact either the morning or afternoon bus runs.

The two big prohibitive issues are a lack of snow and the late arrival (see below). Even when we look at the high end potential of this storm, it's still barely 4". So, it's likely that almost all of the snow will fall while students are at school. The elementary school bus runs/drop offs could be slippery, but few superintendents are going to worry much about that if it's not snowing for the high school runs.

Your only real chance for a snow day tomorrow is if your superintendent is in a very generous mood. So despite what your weather app might be showing--Wunderground continues to show 5" for the GSD Home Office in Williamstown--we really think this will be a light snow-to-sleet-to-rain event that will start late and end in the early afternoon.
