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

Winter Weather Advisory

Much of SE Michigan, including Lake Orion, is under a Winter Weather Advisory tomorrow morning for minor ice accumulations. While it only takes a little bit of ice to get a day off of school, I really think this will be a minor event to the point where you guys will likely have school tomorrow. I expect only a coating of ice on the roads, which I don't believe they will cancel school for. There's a small chance of a snow day, but my prediction is that you guys will have to go to school tomorrow.

Beyond that, there is a low chance of a decent storm affecting you guys around Thursday Night. Energy diving out of Canada is expected to partially phase with energy coming out of the Southwest U.S. resulting in a decent storm for much of the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic states. While I don't currently expect Lake Orion to see a lot from this storm, there are some encouraging signs pointing to a more complete phase between the two pieces of energy. The main axis of snow is currently expected to affect the I-70 corridor, so it would have to be a pretty large northward shift for Lake Orion to get in on some good accumulations, but it's not out of the question. The better the two pieces of energy phase, the farther north the system tracks and the better the chances of snow for Lake Orion on Thursday Night. If this evening's models look more promising for SE Michigan, I may write a more complete discussion out later tonight.

For now, here's a video...it doesn't go much more in-depth than what I posted above, but if you're more of a visual person, you may prefer the video. As always, questions and comments are welcomed below...as long as the subject isn't how goofy I look in the screencap below...smh
