One Jim Cantore sighting = mass panic
They have done that here (Jamestown ND) before and no snow. This time they got it right. Coming down in sheets and the wind to come early tonight yet.

My coworker who lives just outside of St. Cloud is getting smacked around like a Catholic school student by the storm today. He couldn't make it to Highway 10 this morning, called the boss to report absent.

Re: Winter Weather 2017-18 where EVERYONE argues.
Yeah my gf tried using that as an excuse (she is a teacher) and I will say to you what I said to her...we dont live in St. Cloud it is 45 minutes away. I just drove on 3 major highways, 2 major streets, a bunch of side streets and walked on sidewalks and unsalted parking lots...I never even slipped due to having awful balance let alone the drizzle (you know the supposed skating rinks that are supposed to be out there) that is falling intermittently
The districts panicked and failed. They cant even use the "well the end of the day will be bad" BS because the HS are already letting out and now the heaviest wont be here til probably rush hour which means middle and elementary will likely miss it too. Canceling last night at 8pm based on...and this is a direct quote from the district when they called my gf "the PREDICTION of snow" (not actual snow just that snow was supposed to happen" was moronic. They could have waited and cancelled in the morning if it got bad like they always have in the past.
This is the crap we usually mock the Southern states for although at least they get an inch before they cancel. We havent even gotten a dusting.

While I get your mockery, I know that in Northern NY, they build the snow days into the schedule. They're already accounted for "days off" in September, at the start of the school year. So essentially, they'll use them one way or another, adding onto vacation weeks come March/April even without any snow, because they basically must be used.

Haven’t left my office yet but it’s snowing and blowing very hard all after a good 12 hours of rain or so. Should be interesting to see how the roads are on the commute home.

Re: Winter Weather 2017-18 where EVERYONE argues.
They do that here too so nothing in that regard was effected.
It just seems funny to me to cancel school before a flake even hits the ground.
It is coming down pretty decent now at my house but nothing too bad. I wonder if tomorrow they will cancel because it will look doubly foolish to cancel it with no snow but make kids go after it actually snows

Re: Winter Weather 2017-18 where EVERYONE argues.
Northern Maine aka " the county" has had over 100 inches of snow and 0 snow days. They go no matter what. My area has had 60 inches or so and they have used their allotted snow days plus, the school year ends later now. 10 to 18 weds night into Thursday according to the guessers. Another day of school in June

Re: Winter Weather 2017-18 where EVERYONE argues.
Not only that, but they have to make decisions based on the data they have at the time. You can't wait until buses are being sent out to cancel school. It's better to cancel early and be wrong every so often than to not cancel and have it be a disaster.

Re: Winter Weather 2017-18 where EVERYONE argues.
Oh please they used to cancel school at 6am stop it you sound foolish. (or later if there was the "2 hour late start" ) They cancelled it at 8pm when snow wasnt expected for like 10 more hours in the best projections. (and that shifted well before THE BUSSES WERE BEING SENT OUT!!!!)
And lets not forget how bad the Weather Terrorists screwed it up to begin with. Nice prediction model I did a better job based on looking at my phone for 12 seconds than you did with all the "data". (I said after the gf got the call the snow wouldnt hit us until way later than they said and this will all look ridiculous)
There has to be a happy medium where you dont look stupid as heck (MNDOT and the Districts do no matter how you slice it) and still give everyone enough time. It isnt like this is new stuff for us there is a reason people watch morning news in the winter and it aint the tasty recipes and witty repartee
And Grey I enjoy having the house to myself during the day so if I am going to lose that the weather better be friggin awful!!

Re: Winter Weather 2017-18 where EVERYONE argues.
I wish the Weather Terrorists were wrong.
I've moved way too < bleep > much heavy wet snow already today and more is coming overnight.
This version of "snow" is why I moved back to ND from the east coast.

Re: Winter Weather 2017-18 where EVERYONE argues.
Isn't he supposed to add some words about having to walk 10 miles each way to and from school, uphill both ways, into the wind, with his brother, in 6 feet of snow, and they only had three snowshoes between the two of them?

Re: Winter Weather 2017-18 where EVERYONE argues.
Yeah, and it probably has to do a lot with newer contracts the districts sign. I wouldn't be shocked if the bus companies and maybe even teacher's unions have clauses where you need to make a decision by a certain time the night before or you still pay.

We have a half a foot here already and I’m guessing it will be another half a foot by morning.I wish the Weather Terrorists were wrong.

Since when would a little snow and ice impact whether a hockey tournament is going to happen? This is MN, not Texas.

They're coming from all over the USA. Some places have only seen snowplows in picture books.
