USCG RS Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago 12 minutes ago, RockyKnob said: WNC doesn’t have the fragile pines that are in ENC, so they have that going for them. Also, any places with altitude will either be sleet or rain. It’s tough to get prolonged freezing rain there. The escarpment will have freezing rain, but without the pines to collapse everywhere, it hopefully will not be so bad. Unfortuntely 0.25 inches of ice is about 250 lbs added to each power line (per 300 feet of span), 0.5 inches about 550 lbs and one inch about 750-800 lbs. If we hit 2 inches (just throwing it in because of how crazy a jump in the weight is) - its about 2,250 lbs. Now - Distribution lines (NOT residential lines and/or service drops) are designed to handle a half an inch of ice accumulation and transmission lines are designed to handle 1.25 inches if made and maintained to standard. So we are actaully within potnetial range of BOTH (1.25 inches if we hit the very high end guidance - not necessarily likely). Keep in mind, winds kick up after the storm, which adds signifcant force to an already overburdened line. Likewise, any older infrastructure is likely to fail under standards. This could be.. well we all know what it could be. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago No one *knows* what this is going to do. It seemed LOCKED IN for a major ice storm. Now, we’ve got Mets doubling down, Mets refusing to make a call till go time, Mets cutting totals in half, Mets flip flopping with each model run, Mets calling out other Mets? weather apps spitting out 8” of snow, people wondering if their power will be out for days or if theyll be at work Monday. I mean this is absurd. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean this is absurd. It comes down to liability. People are afraid to make a call and be wrong. Again, from a Risk Management point of view, I am actually sounding an alarm and have been to those I know and advise. The truth is we dont KNOW what will happen. However, there is a high probability of a significant ice storm. There is a medium to high possibility of a crippling ice storm. There is a moderate possibility of a catastrophic ice storm. From a Risk Management perspective, this is where you plan for severe disruption and pray you are wrong. But, if there was any WINTER storm where I would pull out the stops, its this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I’m going with RAH but them cutting totals in half from 7 am to 4 pm didn’t exude the notion they have much confidence in what they’re putting out. Nor is the the high end of almost tripling their predicted total. Pretty much their graphics say you could have anywhere between 0.20” and 0.85” of ice, a winter weather advisory or the worst Ice storm in your history. I mean I could get paid to make those call maps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpg2 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Whenever there’s any kind of weather event for the Upstate, I listen to Chris Justus and Brad Panovich, then come here for the discussion and map analysis. Those two have been pretty much in agreement on this one. I also really like Kendra Kent—she’s been a bit more reserved, which I appreciate—but all three are essentially saying the same thing: This is a major storm for the Upstate and WNC, and they’re very confident it will at least be disruptive, with a strong possibility of it being destructive and dangerous. That’s really all I need to know. Exact totals and p-type swings matter less when there’s this level of agreement that the event itself is a serious concern.

USCG RS Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago If you look over the Texas region, its been colder than expected. Likewise, this HP is really nosing down with a very dense cold. Perhaps it allows for more sleet than ZR, but, historically with these set ups, its a nortorious set up for ice in this region. I would say sleet may be a saving grace, however, I would not think that RN (plain) willl be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
