Discussion:

This is a rather difficult forecast. Snow will wrap up this evening, allowing for some time for snow removal. However, temperatures will drop overnight and roads will become icy. Given the overall picture and analogues to this situation, I am increasing the probability of either a closing or delay to 65%, favoring a delay over a full closing. There is a chance of a normal opening if snow tapers early and roads are treated quickly.

Discussion:

There is a moderate chance for a delay Friday due to icy roads. Snow should end early enough Thursday for snow removal to be mostly complete by the Friday morning commute.
