Especially in strict elevation events. Not always, but more often than not. How much ice are you expecting above 700? I agree. From what I have gathered from Will, 700-800' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen so much salt for so little snow and ice. For the first time ever, our garage floor is white from all of the salt water tracked in.

Commuter rail platforms have been ridiculous at times. Also on a lot of roads and highways you can't even see the white lines because of the salt residue.

Mine too, as I had none. 06 GFS down around 0.1" for our area from Act 1, and Act 2 is probably warm enough to preclude frozen precip. Terrible timing for #1, however, as I need to be in PWM at 9:30 tomorrow for a Dr. appt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Kinda need to keep putting it down when the deluges wash it away and then we freeze it all right back up before we can dry out. But yeah, it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annual check on some non-symptomatic partial artery blockage. And yes, I expect a bit of gritty frozen stuff at home overnight, not an issue for the Forester, but hope that treatment/traffic has taken care of any ice before we get near the city.

But but people here bitch when they put down salt. Fact is it save injuries and death so they have to deal with a little salt BFD. Constant whining and complaining about anything and everything. DOT did an unreal job on the squall day. That could have been disastrous. They had trucks on the ready and laid down salt a half hour before the squalls hit. Its sometimes unreal in here to read grown ass men and women bitch about the minute things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing the DPW here salt stash has taken a big hit this winter as i noticed they were using sand today, I wouldn't be surprised if the Hospitals are seeing an uptick in broken bones today as well.

If one must be out during the storm, the stuff makes things twice as slippery (unless it's zero like Jan. 20, when it's ineffective until a warm-up.) Greatest good for the greatest number, I guess.

However, in our area they have been dumping tons of salt when it was obvious that either there was going to be no snow or the precip was going to be liquid not frozen. I have to wonder where some of the cities and towns are getting their forecasts as they are wasting money and resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between treated highways and untreated during the squall day was like night and day. I have advocated for years that black ice 1 inch snowstorms are much more dangerous than big snowstorms on the highways. I wrote letters to my state highway superintendent with lots of data. A group formed to stress the need for ice awareness by DOT. It worked. I can deal with salt not with getting t boned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised years ago to find out our state outsourced their Met consultants to a group on the West Coast. It showed. Not knowing local climo, local variables hurts the message. Back on topic the Nams still give ORH county and SNH a pretty good icing. Tomorrow morning will be dicey for a lot of peeps. The NAM hammers the Greens and Berks tops over the course of 4 days. Ski areas are going to have major issues if that holds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 1 minute ago, STILL N OF PIKE said: Wow no discussion cept for treatment removal and a blizz comment Not much to say from earlier...qpf isn't going to be high enough for power grid issues. The 0.75-1.00 runs from yesterday (including euro) appeared to be burp runs. The trend didn't stick. It looks like a marginal ice event for interior MA (and maybe parts of elevated N CT) that makes for some slick roads but won't be a big deal for anyone not driving.

ORH_wxman Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Euro did tick the QPF up again at 12z but still not like yesterday. It's more like 0.4-0.5. That could maybe cause some 0.25" accretion in the high terrain of N ORH county....but on the whole no big deal for anyone not driving tonight.
