Light snow showers are anticipated during the late-morning and afternoon hours on Thursday. While the National Weather Service is expecting half an inch of snow, I suspect higher accumulations (around one inch) are more likely. I do want to mention I am more aggressive than most outlets right now.
Historically, one inch of snow has been enough to cause early dismissals. I do not think the morning bus runs will be impacted, but I would not be surprised if school districts early dismiss out of precaution for the afternoon runs, hence my favoritism towards the Early Dismissal scenario. If, however, conservative forecasts become the most likely outcome, the Early Dismissal odds will decrease.

My next prediction update will be tomorrow evening, but I do not know yet if it will be “final” or not. As always, thank you for your support towards the service, it is appreciated; have a great rest of your evening!
