Wind Chill Advisory Extended to Friday
Today's widespread closing and delays due to cold temperatures have caused us at GSD to recalibrate our formula for predicting Freeze Days. There is no question the national news cycle and its predictions about once-in-a-lifetime low temperatures in the Midwest had a spillover effect on the skin thickness of our beloved Superintendents and bus company operators.
[It's taking all of our strength to not be that guy. You know that guy. That neighborhood old guy who has a "Back In My Day" tattoo.]
So let's move on to Friday morning. Tomorrow morning will be slightly warmer--temps around 0 for most Berkshirites--but the breeze will make it feel 6-8 degrees colder than that. Given that forecast, we can't rule out a few delays tomorrow. Even though these are essentially the exact words we wrote yesterday around this time, we really mean it this time.
What about a real snow storm? you might ask. When is that going to happen? As we look into our meteorological crystal ball, we do not like what we are seeing. Temps are going to zoom all the way into the 50s by Tuesday before coming back down to the 20s by the weekend. If we're going to get a delay next week, it will be on Friday. The chance for a snow day next week is somewhere between 0 and 1 percent.
February vacation is only 11 school days away. We will likely get shut out next week, but during the week of the 11th we will see colder temperatures and an above average chance for precipitation as we get closer to the break.
We'll run a delay list if and when those calls come in.
