Every time someone posts this evening that a model has taken a step back, I go and look at it and my yard is still getting pounded with heavy snow tomorrow morning.  HRRR, ICON, NAMs.  If I see less than 3" of snow tomorrow it's gonna be quite the bust given what all guidance shows less than 12 hours from onset.

This storm may have the most pretreated roads sidestreets etc, and sidewalks that I have ever seen.

And what happened to simple road salt? Mass Ave sidewalks were painted blue.  Grossly over treated with lord knows how many chemicals, and this is becoming the norm. That and leaf blowers instead of snow blowers.

Our local governments sure do love to ruin the Chesapeake with even more chemical runoff from the road salt/brine.

I feel like contractors are just shooting their loads instead of sitting on products for a year, which will probably be thrown away/dumped if its unused if a contract is up.   Or, just burning product to get an even fatter contract next year. Calcium chloride nom nom no thanks.

Check out this gem from the ice melt SDS doc:

6.2. Environmental Precautions - Prevent entry to sewers and public waters. Avoid release to the environment

http://scotwoodindustries.com/product/industrial-blue/

It has blue dye in it so the guy spreading it can figure out what area he has already treated.

Why are they closing schools?

Why is the government closing?

Why am I not in WSW?

Why did they downgrade my WSW?

Temps are too warm for snow?

Why do they have me at 2 inches on the point and click when the models tell me 4 inches?

Radar sucks where is the snow the models promised me?

People 10 miles away have double my snow?

Radar shows precip falling but I see nothing?

I could keep going on. :)
