Presidents Day 2011/New rating system 6:30pm UPDATE!

After going over the most recent forecasts, I came across the latest snow total projection from Foot's Forecast.

Just about all of the county is in the 4-8inch range, which means the potential of this storm is much greater than initially anticipated.

None of the weather outlets are saying this storm will be rain, so expect snow, and expect a decent amount of it.

The rain is expected to turn to snow tonight, and stay until about 9am tomorrow morning. Perfect timing.

Rating: 4 Pencils

New Ratings System

I used to go with percentages (2 Hour Delay and Schools Closed as two different entities, with two different percentages not adding up to 100). That got a little confusing to some, and people kept asking about it, so I will change the way it's done.

5 Pencils: It's almost certainly safe to stay up late, because there will probably be no school tomorrow.
4 Pencils: Decent chance you'll be out of school tomorrow, but fairly certain there will at least be a delay.
3 Pencils: Small chance you'll have the whole day off, but a delay is very possible.
2 Pencils: Slight chance of a delay, but I would expect a full day of school.
1 Pencil: Really good chance you will be in school on time.
