it amazes me how folks are trying to determine the finer details of this storm such as where the mix line will end up and then give total snowfall and ice amounts when the storm doesn't even begin till Sunday morning . FYI none of us have no idea..
Maybe there is a cutoff time in the evening when the data has to be delivered to whoever inputs it into the models- I have no idea how that works do you?
only when the high to the north is NOT as strong and anchored like this weekends will be - this is a Miller B setup redevelopment off the coast sooner then later
the more actual ice - sleet etc and rain make the snow much heavier to shovel - high ratio snow can actually be removed with a powerful leaf blower if you keep up with it from when it starts accumulating
True with the ground so cold also we don't want to get any freezing rain - that could be a nightmare - the folks down south are hoping they don't experience that - no fun living without electric in this weather
thats why I posted this little gem of a link - Snow and ice storm, March 4-6, 2001 - Storm Summary mass hysteria - all milk and bread sold out for next to nothing in accumulation
