    I think they use the brine so that the frozen stuff won't stick to the road as much and it makes it easier to plow it away down to the asphalt. The salt usually comes after the stuff is plowed. I know they have some newer mixes of salt that can go lower but with the kind of cold they are talking about, back in the day you probably remember when they went on and put sand out.

    You probably haven't driven downtown when there was a bare coating of packed down rutted snow with a layer of ice and water on top on the major streets, where buses start spinning or slide around when turning a corner! Don't ask me why I would know the issues.

    Fairmount is near the Art Museum downtown so there is a warmer microclimate due to the building density down there. I still think this will definitely be a "warning criteria" storm, i.e., >6".

    Not so much for ice (sleet/ZR) versus snow though.... Although I remember going on a senior class trip to Tamiment in the Poconos back in '79 in January and there was ZR that weekend with the slopes too slick to ski on and then the temps hit 40, so it was either ice skating in their indoor rink or board games.

    I saw your comment. The whole "transfer to the coast" thing always catches my attention. I had never heard of a "Miller C" but apparently it is a "thing" with La Nina ENSO. The 13z NBM doesn't look good (ice wise).
  6. Hurricane Agnes
    Apparently just ZR accumulation.

    Even though it's not a strict "Miller B", the whole setup feels like a hybrid one with a low riding up a cold front as the front moves east, and then transferring out to the coast. Anything that even hints at "Miller B" seems to always be hard to nail down.

    EC 12z Kuchera -
  10. Hurricane Agnes
    The AI one doesn't have that option (unless it's just a Pivotal Weather thing). The regular EC is still running.
  11. Hurricane Agnes
    The AI one looks conservative compared to everything else.
  12. Hurricane Agnes
    Some other 6zs - ICON, Canadian & Ukie.
  13. Hurricane Agnes
    6z 12k NAMs still wants to put other frozen in there.
  14. Hurricane Agnes
    7z NBM.
  15. Hurricane Agnes
    6z AI EC.
  16. Hurricane Agnes
    I know we are really coming into CAMs range but here is the 6z GFS (6z AI ECM is running).
  17. Hurricane Agnes
    18z Euros. Still think tomorrow with the 0zs and 12zs will be "go time" (including the NAM) -
  18. Hurricane Agnes
    And so you proceeeded to send me down the rabbit hole to sub to that. I remember when they first came out and were free (for some stuff). But times change... Their 18z GFS 282 hr sleet map - still looks to be down just below Philly metro.
  19. Hurricane Agnes
    Pivotal's maps don't have a separate "sleet" frame. Just the frozen. ETA - 18z EC is running. Will see what that has to say!
  20. Hurricane Agnes
    That's the next Thursday storm I think (vs this weekend)! Trying to get through this one!
  21. Hurricane Agnes
    I have been going through that and the MA gets huge amounts of sleet but not up here based on that GFS run!
  22. Hurricane Agnes
    Seems to be downplaying any sleet/ZR! Looks to be an outlier. May have to see what it does for the 0z.
  23. Hurricane Agnes
    18Z AIGFS total qpf -
  24. Hurricane Agnes
    18z GFS -
  25. Hurricane Agnes
    The 18z ICON has it still accumulating up in NE PA and east, into Tuesday
