Not too much has changed with the forecast for the Wednesday night and Thursday storm. NWS Albany has predictably announced a Winter Weather Advisory that goes into effect at 7 PM Wednesday and ends at 1 PM on Thursday.
The models have adjusted snow totals down slightly (1-2"), but ice totals are marginally higher. The key is going to be the time of the changeover to sleet and freezing rain. Ground temps at the time of the first bus runs (7-ish) should still be below freezing, which means mixed precipitation is likely for the commute. Given last week's response to ice, chances for delays on Thursday are good.

| North American model for Thursday at 6 AM. Pink/orange is freezing rain. Purple is sleet. |
Students on the east-facing slopes of the County will have a better chance for a delay. Students in the north will have a slightly better chance than students in the south.
We don't think any Superintendents will make their call Wednesday night, so this will have to be a wake-up-and-see kind of morning.
At this point if you really are hoping for a delay, you want to root for the cold air to stay in place as long as possible.
