Somewhat Important Note:

Due to the popularity of the blog, I receive numerous Facebook requests before potential snowstorms. Although I am flattered that you want to follow me on Facebook, I would ask that you not friend request me unless you know me in real life. It's nothing personal, I've just decided I don't want too many friends on Facebook.

Thanks, John

Everything on track; raised alert level to high

Snow Day Alert Level: [Low] [Medium] [High] [Very High]

Read my detailed discussion in the last post, and my snowfall map in the last post, as those are still valid. And as I said in that discussion, if they were still valid this morning, I would raise the alert level to high. Currently, the National Weather Service is forecasting Lake Orion to get 4-7" of snow. I'm forecasting 5-9", and I believe that the NWS will join me in forecasting that much this afternoon. This is because the snow is occurring further south than where the NWS forecast it to fall. Therefore, we will likely get a quicker changeover to snow than is currently forecast, and thusly more snow. Other National Weather Service offices have bumped up snow totals for this event, and I believe that our National Weather Service office will soon follow.

I will make a definitive "yes" or "no" prediction on whether or not we will have a snow day by 7:35 p.m. tonight.

Use the comment feature! Ask me a question about this storm and our snow day chances through the comment feature, and I will answer it. I'll be updating this blog several times throughout the day, and will answer your questions in the updates.
