I agree with this - that's why I questioned it originally. If I were a TD or UIC here the conversation would go like this:

TD: It's looking pretty dark out there, can you guys see OK?

blue: Right now, it's ok, but we'll keep an eye on it - let us know if you think it's getting worse.

I might suggest to them that it's getting bad, but include them in the decision making process.

But that's here in WV and everyone knows we are bassakwards.
