. My daughter goes to Austin Prep and we got a notice this morning at 5AM that school will be released at 1PM. She is a new driver so opted for my son's Liberty that is sitting in the driveway.

They have had so many cancellations that they are trying to get in a school day if at all possible. Hopefully they didn't make a bad call.

Keeping the kids in school all day would have been better than releasing them at the height of the storm...
I'd be rather upset if I was a bus driver...
Or a parent who now has to leave work early to meet their kids at home...

I think somehow they weren't expecting it to snow as hard as it is as soon as it is. I pulled out of the driveway at 8:30 to drop off my son at the babysitters. There was already 2 inches of snow on the ground and a sanding truck drove by. I was thinking that isn't going to do much now ... didn't see any plows out while I was in town either.

I'm currently watching a guy in the parking lot BEAT his car with a towel or a blanket (can't tell which) to get the snow off... I don't think I've ever seen that method before...

Gotta let the snow know who's the boss.

Just started to snow lightly on Burke Mt...
Glenn- Here's Albany's winter storm site.

the estimated snow map is on the right side about 1/3 of the way down the page.
Thank you! I had a heckofa time last night looking for that.
Wow! A solid 20" called for in SoVT. NICE!!!!! :beer:
Cool! East/West road...know that one really well. We're only about a mile/mile and a half up from the covered bridge. If you went straight at that intersection and stayed on Green Mtn Camp Rd, you'd come to the street we're on.

Closing in on 4".
I LOVE all the snow, but today is kinda like torture to me. I'm sitting here at work, not skiing. Tonight I'll be sitting at my other job, watching everyone else ski. When I get home around 11pm it's pretty likely that my driveway will be completely uncleared... :-?
Not complaining though... Especially if I can figure out a way to get out skiing tomorrow...

Around 4" of very smooth snow here at Blue. Visibility is shit though. Freezing rain is coating my goggles over.

Based on radar, looks like one more wave. We'll probably get 6" out of this before the slop tomorrow...

Pretty much stopped here. I'd say a solid inch to inch and a half of pure sleet.

You got one more shot about to come in.
got about 4-6ish inches here in central rhody, looks like its either stopped or changed over to sleet.....my wife is a school nurse, theyre getting out at 12...makes no sense to me. I realize they wanna try and get the day in because the snow days are piling up, but its just not worth it to me to risk people driving....so be it if you gotta work and extra week in june...you got the day off one way or another....SMH at some of these superintendents here...it was pretty much at its worst here between 6-9am, right for everyones commute.
Let's talk SoVT:
SO...HIGHER SNOW AMOUNTS COULD BE MORE LOCALIZED. STILL...WITH
THE ANOMALOUS MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEM...AND POSSIBLY
SOME CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS...LOWER END OF FINAL SNOW TOTALS IN AREAS
THAT SEE MOSTLY SNOW...WILL BE WELL OVER A FOOT...WITH AREAS WITHIN
THE MULTI BANDS AROUND 2 FEET. SOME HINTS OF CSI IN SATURATED
LAYER IN CROSS SECTION ACROSS THE REGION DURING HEAVIEST SNOW
WEDNESDAY. SNOWFALL RATES IN THE ENHANCED BANDS SHOULD BE 2"+ PER
HOUR OR MORE. SNOW RATIOS LOOK TO BE AROUND CLIMO OVER MOST
AREAS...AS THE DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE IS PREDICTED TO BE QUITE
ELEVATED. SO THE SNOW MAY BE DRY...BUT A BIT MORE DENSE AND HEAVY
THAN THE PAST FEW STORMS.
