Weekend Summary

A weekend to remember for many. Nothing too unusual necessarily regarding snowfall totals in Keene, for we have had large storms drop similar amounts. However, once this weekend, once it started snowing around 1pm on Friday, it never stopped. We still have snow grains falling under the radar right now, extending the snow streak to 55 hours!

Totals:
For the "Friday storm", accumulations through 1am Saturday: 8.6"
For the "Saturday storm", accumulations through 7am Sunday: 2.5"
For the "Sunday storm", accumulations: 7.4"

Weekend total: 18.5"

Delay potential tomorrow: From people that I have talked with around Keene, it sounds like roads are still in poor condition. Some plowing has been done, but roads remain snow covered and slippery. As temperatures plummet tonight, any salt will become ineffective, and any melting due to salting today will freeze. This in addition to winds tonight blowing more snow into the roads I think may make a delayed opening necessary.
My usual methods of delay and cancellation potential are based solely on timing and accumulation during the schoolday of focus. Any other year, I would have low percentages for a delay and a big zero for cancellation. Likely due to the ice storm, this is not a typical year. This can be seen with the cancellations of Friday and Wednesday last week. So with that said, I have notable delay percentages on the board.
