Harry Perry Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I would hedge on a blizzard warning just based on the timing. Worst conditions when people are coming out of Super Bowl parties. Far less people will travel under a blizzard warning (particularly around these areas where they're rare and thus stand out) than a WSW that's issued several times a year. Also, the drifts with this particularly in open areas could strand people in extreme cases, and with temperatures getting down into the single digits, it could be dangerous to be stranded, particularly with carbon monoxide poisoning as a result of people trying to warm themselves up with snow-choked tailpipes. The NWS really only has a pretty strict guideline for blizzard warnings. Super Bowl is no exception to issue one, I would think anyway. Regardless, definitely a high impact event.

Gilbertfly Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 mostly wet flakes now....transition period wasn't all that long locally....although, that's not to say we don't bounce back and forth a little bit still down here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 No just keep this all one thread. It's what we've always done. This. Never understood why the northeast forums split them like that. Sorry, guys. A few people have already started posting over there. I came from the east coast, so I'm probably used to doing it that way. I think it's because some of us like to talk about what's going on currently in our locations. Like I said, people can feel free to post over there if they like or keep posting here.

RobertSul Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 The NWS really only has a pretty strict guideline for blizzard warnings. Super Bowl is no exception to issue one, I would think anyway. Regardless, definitely a high impact event. Absolutely. I made an addendum to my post before reading this. I understand that they have strict criteria, but it'll be close enough, and to the layman it will be a full-fledged blizzard even if wind speeds "only" reach 34 miles an hour and yet there are two-three foot drifts stranding him.

andyhb Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Eager to see some of the obs from this when it really ramps up, wouldn't be too surprised to see some 18-20"+ jackpots given current radar/satellite presentation and model guidance continuing with large totals.
