Got an early start from Columbus this morning. Is the Thruway road surface usually warm enough to not have issues from freezing rain? A bit nervous about that...


Not good at the moment. Accidents all over on the police scanner. Listening now to a multi vehicle accident on the 90 near Clarence service station. Fire truck responding slid off the on ramp. Really heavy freezing rain right now.

A very knowledgeable poster from another board has been mentioning the"fujiwara' effect with this system making it hard to pin down..

The Fujiwhara effect, sometimes referred to as the Fujiwara effect, Fujiw(h)ara interaction or binary interaction, is a phenomenon that occurs when two nearby cyclonic vortices orbit each other and close the distance between the circulations of their corresponding low-pressure areas. The effect is named after Sakuhei Fujiwhara, the Japanese meteorologist who initially described the effect. Binary interaction of smaller circulations can cause the development of a larger cyclone, or cause two cyclones to merge into one. Extratropical cyclones typically engage in binary interaction when within 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) of one another, while tropical cyclones typically interact within 1,400 kilometres (870 mi) of each other.

Do you mean total of everything on the ground?!  We are going to have a couple inches of sleet if nothing else, but I think we’ll get 2-4 inches of snow on top once the secondary takes over.
