What's more current than the weather? - Page 11

HungLikeJesus · 02-02-2012, 02:02 PM

Sunny now, but:

... Winter Storm Warning remains in effect from 5 PM this
afternoon to 11 PM MST Friday...

* timing... snow will develop late this afternoon and continue
through Friday night. Moderate to heavy snow will develop
later this evening and continue through Friday... then
gradually decrease by Friday night.

* Snow accumulations... total accumulations of 14 to 24 inches can
be expected.

* Winds/visibility... northeast 10 to 20 mph. Visibilities will
be poor at times in areas of heavier snowfall and blowing
snow.

I think I'll be working from home tomorrow.

I hope it doesn't delay my flight on Saturday.

We might even have snow Saturday or Sunday.
Weather reporters are hedging their bets, depends on wind direction.

Snow please snow please snow please snow please snow please snow please snow please snow please snow please snow please snow please snow please snow please snow please snow please snow please snow please snow please snow please.

Well, you know the rest.
Just, like - snow please.

Some of the TAs want it on Monday (this is also possible) so we get a twice-in-a-lifetime Snow Day. But this term is hectic. Assessments (of the childer), observations (of the teachers - where the class is drilled for at least a week in advance to get a positive outcome) and me working with two lads on the autism spectrum not fond of disruption.

So I just want snow. Sunday would be perfect. No time off just snow.

Fainlights.
In case I was jinxed.

The trick for teacher observations (it works with older kids, maybe not so well wiht yours) is to tellthe kids in advance that a child psychologist is visiting to observe THEIR behaviour. They'll be little angels for an hour while the observer is there.

So hows the snow HLJ?

HungLikeJesus · 02-02-2012, 07:21 PM

It's just getting started.

Griff · 02-02-2012, 08:32 PM

I miss snow.

Does anybody know how to interpret this?

... Snowfall information for Denver International Airport...

I think it says:

There's no way your flight is getting out of here. Don't bother trying to get to the airport.

They've just increased the snow estimate:

Quote:

* Snow accumulations... total accumulations for the foothills and
the mountains east of the Continental Divide will be 24 to 48
inches. For the mountains west of the Continental Divide... snow
amounts will be much less with accumulations of 2 to 8 inches
expected.

48 inches in one storm? Holy crap.

Take pictures.

don't recognize the leading ".A"

but...

here's where the key is, I believe:

diac seems to be the location identifier (Denver International Airport Cupcake, I'm guessing)

Working on the rest.

I believe the string 120203 is yyyy mm dd forecast.

HungLikeJesus · 02-03-2012, 12:07 PM

Cupcake?

Maybe that's because of the frosting.

I got my snowfall Saturday night.
It was poor.
Small and wet.

All gone today, and I spent most of Sunday in bed because this silly cold keeps coming and going.
Fingers crossed for longer, deeper and lasting longer. Soon.

I wore shorts outside today. In the first week of February. In Michigan. There is no snow in sight. Usually, we're at least a foot under and haven't seen the grass for two months.
