This kind of thing was SOP back in the 80's and even the 90's. We had some real disasters in 94 with rare ice storms and such. BUt even today with all the better forecasting techniques we still get blindsided, getting 4 inches when we expect 2 feet and 6-7 when expect 1" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised to see advisory gusts with the rapidly intensifying low. How much did you get int hat storm? It was about 3-5 over here; Freehold was the jackpot.

Nothing you can do Snowed at 1-2" an hour during rush hour. No one left early because the public was told it wasn't going to be so bad. The state officials were also given the same forecast we all saw on TV. People should cut them some slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ericjcrash Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Pre treating wouldn't have made a difference with those rates earlier. Nothing you can do with all the traffic as well. Horrible timing and surprise factor. Still sleeting here, might make it to the dryslot frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea and when the heaviest snow comes at 4 pm, harder for the plows to get their job done, just piles up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestHillWx Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 10 minutes ago, weatherpruf said: As a public employee, I am asking you what you would have done. A call for a minor event at a time of year when it is extremely rare for more populated areas to see significant snow. I am not going to fault the state workers on this one. It's not like they enjoy watching people suffer. And they are out there now trying to make things better. Maybe not succeeding, but trying. Let's cut em a break. I would have had plows on trucks for starters. The local towns had some plow trucks; the state highways did not. They were sanding. I know, as I drove passed them. The best was the tandom salt truck, brokedown and being towed. I'm not speculating as to the status of the contracts with the companies responsible for the interstates, but the ball was dropped here. The towns in my area at least had early dismissals; could you imagine the outcry if these kids were on buses, as long as we were in cars? As a public employee, do you see the frustration of the tax paying citizenry? Anyway, I just hope more people weren't hurt and that the towns/counties and state learns from this experience. Enjoy the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
