It does look like salt.  We're exactly 20 miles inland from the ocean and 750' above sea level, which I suppose in the big scheme of things isn't that far, or too high in elevation.  The funny thing is, these are my first two winters living inland.  The rest of my life was spent living less than 2 miles from the ocean, and I never saw this before.  Maybe I'll put some on my finger and touch it with my tongue.  Will let you know the results of my unscientific test.

Yea with all these long fetch easterly and South easterly winds salt is uplifted easily 20 miles. Boston area is famous for salt nuclei adding to snow amounts.

New to the forum.  I'm 62 years old, have lived in Maine my entire life, and have never seen what I describe following.  We live off a paved private road.  The road gets plowed during/after snow storms and no salt (or equivalent) is used on the road.  We've never used any type of salt/snow melt on our paved driveway, or anywhere on our property.  Last winter, and this winter, after I have cleaned off our vehicles with a shop type floor broom, and have snowblowed our walkway/upper driveway, I put them away in our garage.  After the remaining snow melts off of them, and the water evaporates, there is a flaky white residue left where the snow melted.  It has to be something that binds to the snow flakes as they fall, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is.  Any ideas?  Maybe I don't want to know!

It is salt,  ocean salt can create condensation nuclei which snowflakes form around.

Ginx and I are the same age.  If we are still around in 2045 I am going to send him south for the next good eclipse in the US.  The trip will be on me!!  Once he experiences totality he won't  be saying meh anymore!

Thanks Gene. Wish you liked the Raiders this much though.lol

Ha, you’ve seemed to be finding reasons to meh this for a while, odd given how stoked you get for certain things.

I am sure you can find people who had a rough time in traffic but read the thread, everyone is saying the same thing.

I’m definitely traveling for another one.

Honestly very very happy for all. I just said my opinion about traffic and haven't seen any posts about people with young kids experience.  I would have definitely stayed overnight somewhere. If anything brings happiness to the masses I am all for it. I was kind of sad for the thick cloudy people.  Understanding and learning about science is extremely important

Man lets hope we can hold some of that modeled warmth for a couple of days next week. 

Glue factory? 12z GFS says beware your backdoor,  rainy as well.

Yeah stay the next day is the best move but it’s funny to see the largest traffic jam in NNE history and the lack of people complaining about it.  The only ones really struck by it were the people not in it .

All true as it was incredible but I would want to hear from those people with young kids. Easy for some to say who basically walked outside though.

This was the post eclipse traffic on 89 south between exits 7 and 6 at 7:30 on the 8th.  It was crazy.  I couldn't imagine sitting in that, I would go nuts.

I have trouble with 3 cars at a stop sign here in hickville

Make winter great again

Great stories.  I am pretty amazed more people didn't take a vacation day Mon and stay up there until the traffic died. I would absolutely die in 11 hr traffic.

Birds are very vocal this morning.

The silence at 98% eclipse in the woods was spectacular.  Owls hooted then stopped, the wind completely died, then temp dropped 8 degrees.  It was as the world had stopped. That was so incredible
