I agree with this so much. Imagine how exciting it was when you woke up and literally had no clue if a blizzard was going to hit or it would be a sunny day. Whether a warm sunny day would evolve into a terrifying severe outbreak or just some afternoon garden variety storms. I mean it sounds dangerous, but also wildly exciting. We know the minute snow will start and the minute it will end. It's pretty damn boring to be honest. I remember watching the weather channel for hours in the early 90's just praying I could catch a glimpse of the radar (and they were pretty crappy radars at that). Now it's right in my pocket. So much has happened in 30 years, its mind boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 The premise for the NWS forecast was the "potential" for wrap around moisture with the developing coastal as well as lake enhancement and or lake effect, not from the primary ..They made that abundantly clear lol The forecast for the primary was 3"-7"/4"-8" for the majority of oswego county.. With that being said that was still to high lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nuanced and I'd guess they won't overtly admit it. Can't say I'd disagree with the intent...if that's the case. Of course us weenies would object.

It’s the most benign of all winter precip. Just saying. 1” of sleet is only incrementally worse than 1” of snow. And salt will always work on sleet due to marginal temps.
