Still coming down hard this morning...
...but not even a school delay! The kids are shocked. The photo doesn't really do the current snowfall rate justice. Here Joey and Katie are, heading out into it:
A school bus had just passed by, emphasizing that we had not somehow missed a school-delay announcement.Tomorrow holds out more hope; we finally got our storm warning:
- A WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM CST FRIDAY.
SNOW...HEAVY AT TIMES THIS MORNING... WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY. ADDITIONAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS TODAY WILL RANGE FROM 2 TO 4 INCHES. PERIODS OF HEAVIER SNOW WILL RETURN TO THE AREA TONIGHT WITH SNOW CONTINUING THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON... BEFORE TAPERING OFF BY FRIDAY NIGHT. TOTAL SNOW AMOUNTS OF 10 TO 18 INCHES ARE EXPECTED BY FRIDAY EVENING...WITH LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE NEAR HEAVIER SNOW BANDS.
NORTH WINDS WILL INCREASE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...AND GUST OVER 25 MPH. THIS WILL CAUSE SIGNIFICANT BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW...WITH NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS POSSIBLE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. THIS STORM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO MAKE TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS OR EVEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR AN EXTENDED TIME.

Hello,
I did not see an email address, usually I email this information….
It looks like you have received a ton of snow!
I am the founder of a newer site, www.schooldelay.com and I came across your post about the 2 hour snow delay you had this week and want to let you now of my site.
It is developed with families like yours in mind! Essentually, folks sign up for a free account and put in their contact information (name, email, cell phone), everything is private and secure, and when their school cancels or delays for the day it shoots a text message right to the parent’s phone. This saves TONS of time. (think….watching TV to wait and see if your school is closed)
I was not sure if you were aware of the site or if your child’s school was a participating member. If you need any extra informaiton please let me know, I would love to share. Also, if you find your school is not signed up, I can help in that area as well!
Again, sorry about the “spam” post. That is not my intention.
Have a great day and please let me know if I can answer any questions.
Sincerely,
Martin Goetzinger
Founder - www.schooldelay.com
