First snow day alert of the season

Based on the last two forecast model runs...I am putting our area under a snow day alert. This is the first snow day alert of the year.

Snow day alert level:
[Low] [Medium] [High] [Very High]

Reason for snow day alert: For two model runs in a row, a low pressure system has been shown developing in the Southeastern US and then moving NNE through Ohio. The models have shown heavy snow falling over SE Michigan some time between Sunday and Monday night.

Reason for level of snow day alert (low): This scenario has only been shown for two consecutive model runs. Therefore, this scenario may not come to pass at all. Also, it is still quite far away so the strength and timing of the system is still in question. As we all know, just as important as how much snow falls is when the snow falls. 6+" of snow does no good for a snow day if it all falls during the day and can therefore be plowed up at night. So for now, the alert level will be kept at low. Stay tuned to this blog for updates!

Potential snow days:
-Monday 12/1
-Tuesday 12/2
