Good evening everyone. Attached is the FINAL Prediction for Friday, January 18, 2019.
1 to 2 inches of snow is expected from tonight until 6 AM. Historically, this amount of snow is “just right” for causing delays because too much or too little would bring into question closings or a regular day, respectively. This is why the delay odds have increased. Closings are not out of the question for some higher-elevated, isolated school districts, but they are increasingly unlikely — less snow and an earlier stop time are to blame.
In regards to this weekend, not much has changed from what was discussed earlier today. I agree with what EPAWA Weather Consulting has just forecasted for our area: 6 to 12 inches of snow and 0.25 to 0.5 inches of ice. This would be from Saturday evening until Sunday afternoon. While I am a snow lover, there is nothing good about ice; power outages are likely with this event. After the system passes, cold air rushing in behind it will freeze any slush on roadways; be mindful of this if you are traveling Monday morning. Wind Chill Advisory (and potentially Warning) criteria may be reach in some locations. Please prepare accordingly for this storm.

I plan on being up early tomorrow to monitor for school announcements. As a friendly reminder, I am not an excuse for not completing projects or homework assignments. 
Have a great rest of your evening and thank you for the support!
