Ginx snewx Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 What she just described to me was similar to that Michigan video. They got hit, spun into the guardrail, got hit 3 more times, a tractor trailer was jackknifing coming right at them but stopped just short then all she could hear was crash after crash, 22 cars. They had to climb out the window but had no where to go, thankfully the tractor trailer was across the road so no other traffic could get through. Their friends in front of them stopped as they saw the whole thing, so eventually they walked to that car until they ambulance arrived. She seems fine other than shaking, her friend and daughter are being evaluated. Sorry for the ot but thanks everyone for the thoughts but you peeps below freezing,tell everyone you know to stay put. 44 degrees here, wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Valley Snowman Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 29.9 slowly creeping up. I'm noting a slight north drainage flow in the valley but it's only a matter of time.

Had gone down to Greenfield a couple hours ago. It looked like they had closed 91 north at Exit 26 based on the cars coming off and assuming there wasn't a mass migration underway to Mt. Snow. Passed one spin out on the Trail in Shelburne. ZR--not sure how bad it is now. 28.7/27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 The RUT sounding says things get dicey up to around 3,500 for a few hours, then it flips hard at 03z to paste. Verbatim spits out 9" that compacts down to 7" when it's all said and done. Nice - some cement turns will be fun! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 BOX is calling for temps topping in the upper 30's here and up to an inch of snow tonight. I'll take the under regarding snow, but I think the glacier will hold tight if the Tip 50's don't play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 19.2F Freezing rain. Roads are ice. Surfaces so cold its not dripping off the trees just instance freezing. Wonder how fast warm air is going to get to the surface. Lots of skiers heading home early for the game. Wonder how well salt will work on Rt 93 with moderate precip and very cold ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how... It may be stunning to conceive ... or not even tenable, but the temperature will rise with rapidity once the gradient squeezes just a little more. In Jan 1994, while attending college at UML, we were treated with an event proven even more extreme, but similar nonetheless. The day dawned in the single digits in the Merrimack Valley area, and by 9pm that evening it was 55F with 45 to 50mph southerly wind gust.... Steam rollin' off snowbanks and whole works. The 12 hours it took to overcome the chill featured, flurries, a period of light snow, a 2 hour period of freezing rain, and then voosh! ..Oh, and not to forget, plenty of hand wringing while internal monologue chanted, "no way it gets that warm" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Watch those knee ligaments. lol Ouch! I just got a sympathetic zip of pain in my knee cap when I read the word ligament. I did a George Jetson once in front of a gaggle of college chicks while waiting outside a night club back in the 1990s. I must have failed some 4 or 5 pointless revolutions before mass azz kissed the sidewalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
