I encountered a bit of freezing rain on my way to work today. With the car really cold from yesterday it glazed all the windows and body work really quickly...and then I was back in the snow, ten minutes later
I would take it with a Grain of salt ...or a shaker or two. We have totals of maybe 10 inches of really dry snow. Snowblower had no problem blowing even the plowed in plug at the end of the driveway. I even drove thru the big pile on our bridge like in a truck commercial...Except my trucks not a truck. its easy to manage snow.
Yeah, I expect the normal snow hyperbole but that was on whole nother level of useless paranoia. Thanks CBS58!
We had all of a foot here. All light fluff that blew around. The wind and drifting was the worst today. Tomorrow will be cold, but no new snow at least. There were a lot of accidents on roads today. My coworker that actually drove into work said the roads were horrible with that drifting. There's a lot of idiots that can barely handle driving in ideal conditions. It was good that a lot were not on the roads.
I literally went on the liquor store and gasoline run yesterday. My wife went on the food and sundries run the day before.
Wow, you also got rain yesterday? It surely was not warm enough to rain here. I think we got up to 16 is all. But what the heck, if someone had to get rain, perhaps it is better that you got it rather than us!
Gettin whats left over now...callin for 2-4"...gonna let it go.....it'll keep us from fallin on our @$$ with all the ice underneath.....woot woot..
Yep, 18 degrees & raining. Couldn't believe it! Thankfully it wasn't much, but it was weird. Today's a whole other story. It's worse conditions than yesterday. About 4" of lake effect so far. Roads are iced up & drifting like crazy. Multiple Interstates closed & side roads are nasty.
I think that we can shorten this up, and increase the accuracy of your statement at the same time : "There's a lot of idiots"
Encountered the same thing yesterday morning. IIRC it's called an inversion layer, where warm air is trapped above the surface air, and it melts the precipitation before it enters the ground layer. It's been a long time since college meteorology. My prof was a local forecaster for channel six. I can see his face , but the name eludes me
Yeah, our roads are pretty crazy and icy. The drifting isn't helping either. I'm working from home tomorrow again. Our work basically said to go into with if you had to, and if you could work from home, to do that.
You could, but everything else I said is true as well. This morning, there were accidents all over the place.
That's a good plan. I told my employees the same. If you think it's safe come in, if not no problem. Some stuff just isn't worth the risk.
