Still light drizzle here (between @sauss06 and @Blizzard of 93) and its freezing on everything - measured close to 0.10” on a cold surface.  I need to find or set something up for better measurement later.  Had max depth of 5” and melting down now to see liquid content which I should have done a few hours ago as the snow let up.  Current depth now that there is a layer of ice is closer to 4.5”.

I’ve basically been outside since 2pm. Everything here is ice crusted. I’m still at 28 with freezing rain.

hmm so as soon as it starts back up I go from 29-32 out of no where. hope heavy bands can knock it down to 29 and snow. but i doubt it. something fishy is going on heh

 

It’s too warm aloft for any snow now around here - we are pretty much down to freezing rain

My employer sent a mass text at 5:15 telling 3rd shifters to be in on time and everybody tomorrow is business as usual. #whoops

your employer is responsible if any one is in a accident since some employees feel as if they dont show up they are fired. or will be written up etc. i had a job who tried to force me to come in saying you better find a way. mind you this was in 2 feet of snow. I was like look here 1 your not my dept supervisor 2 I dont have a vehicle that can drive in snow up to my doors. 3 if i feel like im forced to come to work or ill be fired and if i get in a accident cause of it your held liable. so unless your going to pick me up in a lifted truck you better calm down. with that said id rather drive in 2 feet of snow vs ice. Mind you this post under is more about snow. but if you did drive to work and get in a accident do to no fault of your own but because road conditions were not safe. Also does any one remember when a state of emergency meant if a cop pulled you over you got a ticket if you were not essential personal.
