More Sleepless Nights...

That's what happens when there is a snow storm brewing. Model runs and secondary maps and data start to come in around 10 PM and don't really finish until 1 AM. (This pattern repeats at 10 AM to 1 PM.)

I guess this weeks storm had everyone attention and there had not been much discussion or looking at forecast models for next week. Now that things have generally calmed down, everyone is talking about the huge potential for next week. I don't mean some casual chatter but some serious review and comparisons to other historic events. In fact this past storm could play a significant factor in amplifying the upcoming storm.

Currently, we are not in the primary path. However we also were not in the primary path for this storm a week ago. The thinking of those in the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes right now is that not being in the bullseye this far out is a good thing. We will let this beast of a storm come to us. Hopefully it will come far enough to be historic for us.

Night all and enjoy what should be a two hour delay for county schools on Thursday.
