Add to the fact that road crews leave some accumulation on the roads to soak up sleet and rain, when it gets real cold afterwards that stuff gets welded to the road. It’s like driving on slippery corduroy.
Nice pics below. I live in Barre and work in Montpelier at the Attorney General’s office. Montpelier is a neat town. A couple of good restaurants. Pretty much shuts down after 5:00 and on weekends when all of us state employees go home.
Some of the hardest snowblowing I’ve done in a long time. Ended up with 9” or so from both parts. The thick crust in the middle was a bitch. The snowblower would ride on the crust and then break through so I’d have to back up and go through again. Pretty out and wintry looking. 10F
Yeah, this snow has some real heft to it. It makes the snowbanks look like they are from a bigger storm. I think somewhere between 6”-10” here from both rounds. Probably going to regret leaving the clearing until tomorrow.
Wind picked up noticeably in the last hour or so. Big flakes have been pummeled by the wind and are much smaller. I have big picture window in my living room but it seems like storms either happen at when it’s dark or I’m not home. It’s nice being able to sit on the couch and watch the wind and snow.
Oh how we pray! BTV is calling for an additional 8" in my area, though I'm far enough east that accumulation starts dropping off. Right on the edge of the gradient
I'm glad that I'm not the only having a hard time describing what has been coming out of the sky. Similar to you, we have a pretty thick crust but no glazing to speak of.
