NorEastermass128 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I'm happy with a few inches followed by IP/RN. Time to break the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 This is a different set up with regards to strength of storm and duration of strongest snowfall rates....I believe road crews will have this well under control and have plenty of lead time...the pavement temps mixed with the pretreated brine thrown down will not allow the snow to bind to the roadway.....this is not a 6-12 inch event...advisory event with warm pavement temps My experience with +SN on roads pre-treated with liquid salt is that it's an incredibly slippery slime-slide. The snow may not bind to the pavement, but slushoplaning is even worse than hydroplaning. Two hours after the heavy snow ends, the treatment effect makes the roads just wet, but for those driving when the wall hits, it's slowdown-and -watch-out time, whether on the interstate or any other road getting the brine.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Starts as straight sleet I-90 south This is going to probably end up with 2-4" maxes in SNE. I anticipate we don't trend back toward colder/snowier solutions overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 RgEM pretty weak sauce in the snow dept. Peltfest. RGEM is definitely odd...has like these little convective looking bands of QPF. Burst of snow and then lots of sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I've been out of the loop the last few days... how have the SREFs been performing? Interested to see how the "upgrade" has been! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Please stop with the warm ground crap. We're at the sun angle min of the year. JFC. Warm ground............lol, Temps in the 20's Monday, Monday night lows around 10°F, Warm ground or not the snow will accumulate, Dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a sloppy slush mess when they pre treat, Sodium Chloride only melts to 20°F, Below that temp its useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ridiculous to think snow can't accumulate on ground that is above freezing. SN+ will accumulate on most any unheated surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostonseminole Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 3-5 seems reasonable, maybe more on the 3-4" side.. pretty much what i expected all along, will be great to get our first snow of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRSno Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I'll be happy with flurries and no accumulation at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whineminster Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Of course it's harder to accumulate when the ground is warm, at least in light snow and flurries. Simple thermodynamics.

Whineminster Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 The skin temp cools off damn fast. It isn't an issue until you have insolation issues in Spring.True, but you'll lose a small amount of accumulation in the beginning when the snow is working on cooling the ground. If you drop snow on a 35 degree surface it will melt until its 32. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
