NorEastermass128 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I'm happy with a few inches followed by IP/RN. Time to break the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snow may not bind to the pavement, but slushoplaning is even worse than hydroplaning. Two hours after the heavy snow ends, the treatment effect makes the roads just wet, but for those driving when the wall hits, it's slowdown-and -watch-out time, whether on the interstate or any other road getting the brine.

It is a sloppy slush mess when they pre treat, Sodium Chloride only melts to 20°F, Below that temp its useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ridiculous to think snow can't accumulate on ground that is above freezing. SN+ will accumulate on most any unheated surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostonseminole Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 3-5 seems reasonable, maybe more on the 3-4" side.. pretty much what i expected all along, will be great to get our first snow of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRSno Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I'll be happy with flurries and no accumulation at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whineminster Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Of course it's harder to accumulate when the ground is warm, at least in light snow and flurries. Simple thermodynamics. I think y'all are ovethinking it. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you drop snow on a 35 degree surface it will melt until its 32. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
