Homework for Wednesday

SCHOOL CLOSING PREDICTION by Robert Sampson and Jason Karelis:

I, Robert Sampson, would like to note that this weather prediction was going to be very comprehensive, but while I typed it up, I accidentaly hit something and I lost it (go me!).

FORMULA FOR DETERMINING THE ODDS OF SCHOOL CLOSINGS by Jason Karelis:

30% Timing................................................ 28 pts/30
40% Intensity............................................ 24 pts/40
12% Snow-days used................................ 3 pts/12
18% Past policy.......................................... 18 pts/18 (rain day!!!)
TOTAL........................................................ 73 pts/100

Obviously a delayed opening would be pointless because the snow starts later so lets rule that out. There can be an early dismissal, a snow-day, or just a regular day. The district very rarely plans an early dismissal ahead of time. Based on the forecast, I believe the decision is a snow-day. Keeping in mind that this would be our last snow-day before cutting into vacation time, as well as the timing and intensity of the storm (especially in terms of visibility), our predictions are as follows:

Robert Sampson thinks...
planned early dismissal 35%
delayed opening 0%
snow-day 55%
normal day 10%



***Note: The accompanying weather map was removed***
