Blizzard of 93 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Light Snow rate has picked up, with still the best radar returns in the southern tier counties & northern MD heading north, & filling in. I think there will be a lot of schools closing early today in the LSV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 OK maybe I was wrong. It's coming down pretty hard, visibility probably 1/8 mile or so. Main roads are starting to get a slushy coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a bunch of pissed off people. Streets were pretty clear, no delays then it went down hill. School buses are like 30-45 minutes late to their stops because of the crashes. Rush hour will suck if we get what Blizzard93 thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRRR makes it look like not much will accumulate if just looking at the total accumulated snowfall maps but I believe it is factoring predicted surface temps above 32 to assume little accumulation. If some of these rates and low visibilities continue (especially those around PA/MD border right now) temps are going to stay closer to 32. Roads would have been fine if Penndot had not waited until the snow started to stick to the roads to start putting down some salt with favorable temps for treatment like this.

pasnownut Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Its been a modeled as a multipart system w/ lobes passing through, yet in the first hours of the storm....the storm cancels show up. While we/I may get jipped or shorted w/ accums, the models have been showing this afternoon/eve for the good stuff since yesterday. We've become a society of instant gratification and if I dont get what i want now....then phooey on you..... BTW, as I'm in sales, so I "get around". Yesterday I saw several trucks pretreating the roads... .....and if I would have seen a 100, then some would have said....what a waste of taxpayer money. Just some observations from a guy whose been around the block a few times.... Enjoy the mood flakes....rippage....whatever your getting...and on the bright side, next week sounds like more chances for fun. Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 About 7 miles south of Rt. 30 in Lanco and within the past 30 minutes the snow rate has picked up. Roads and parking lots caved within a few minutes of the onset of the heavier rates. 29F here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally when 1 flake falls, there are multiple state vehicles staged near the on ramps waiting to spring into action around the capital beltway, today i didn't see any of that. Maybe they're strategically waiting don't know. I told a friend of mine this morning bitching about the school, had the district done a delay, or cancelled people would still be pissed because the roads were not covered.

Superstorm93 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Roads have quickly become covered in heavy slushy snow. University decided to stay open.

Atomixwx Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Things are starting to play out as many predicted with the second half of winter being cold and potentially stormy. Jan 22, aside it hasn't been anything really noteworthy but we're just at the half-way point for the season, really. Looks like things are going to be more exciting down the stretch.

While we should be cautious about pushin all the chips in....I guess we've got nothing to lose eh? I think we get the ground white, and keep it white while discussing other threats... will help for sure. It's been a tough year....and hey i have 2 snowmobiles that havent seen 100 miles yet this year. I get the pain gang. it is what it is. Here's to better times..and sledding.

CarlislePaWx Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Had 1.7" as of 9:30am right before I left for work. Temp was at 31.0. I like the wet snow when it sticks to everything, as long as it isn't too much to shovel...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
