    Considering the municipalities have unleashes salt and brine hell already in my area including side streets, i doubt even freezing drizzle has much impact. You'd think we were gearing up for a major snowstorm in these parts...

    They have a shit-load on hand so "they'll spare no expense". They barely used any last year or this year. I hate the wear and tear it takes on the car though.

    Freezing drizzle/light frz rain at 30F won't have a chance to make a impact on roads. They'll be just wet. Untreated sidewalks maybe a little slick.

    The more i look at the mesos for tomorrow, the more i get the feeling parts of the area are in for a rude awakening with freezing drizzle and light freezing rain with temps upper 20s to 30 most of the day.

    Would that only be in the far burbs or places like us in the immediate burbs?

    If anything, looks like like snow olut there w/the low clouds and cold.

    The analogs were bad for winter. Problem is the -AO/-NAO combo was not in the equation and we failed for new reasons.

     

    Why's new?

    This winter may be equally if not worse than last. (so far) Last year we had limited/zero potential so there was no stress/late nights involved. This year I'm way behind on sleep...

    It’s maddening isn’t it? So far, we have had over 2 1/2 months of “great potential”, people have been hyping since mid November, what have we gotten in the NYC metro? One storm (December 16th).....well over a month ago and the snow was long gone, melted, by Christmas Day. Nothing but moving the goal posts, moving the finish line forward and kicking the can down the road ever since then. This month was an unmitigated disaster. The very snowy and cold pattern is always just 8-10 days away. Now, February 2-3 is being hyped as another very snowy period....8 days away. I also see the twitterologists hyping a “major” SSW in late February. Even if it was to actually happen, what the hell good is it going to do at the end of February? There is a lag of weeks before its effects are felt on the troposphere....that would make it mid to late March before anything would even happen from it. By then, winter is over, done, stick a fork in it, it’s over Johnny

    The ONLY good thing about this (personally) is a delayed/colder than normal Spring before we torch in Summer which makes Fall come that much quicker...

    Yeah, I'm seeing 1-3" then sleet/freezing rain maybe switching back to snow on Tuesday but nothing heavy. These snow to sleet/mix precip events usually disappoint as far as snow totals. The mix/changeover usually happens quicker than expected so snow totals are lower. It's something but not looking forward to hearing the first dreaded sound of "pings"...
