It’s hilly , but that’s no excuse. I mean people drive 80+ all the time in all interstates. There’s more to it than that. They’ve done countless studies on it and can’t come to a conclusion. It’s honestly a little eerie. I drive it almost daily during the week at some point. I often look at it and wonder what’s really going on. Supernatural? Expand It seems every major highway has its "trap" zone. For I-95 in Maine, the place I've seen the most trouble is 15-20 miles south of BGR, around miles 160-65. I think the nearby Dixmont hills augment snow and temps are a bit colder on that stretch. Folks driving too fast on wet roads suddenly take an icy ride into the ditch, sometimes finishing shiny side down. Several years ago, a narrow band (little in BGR or Newport) dumped heavy snow for a short time and caused a northbound pile-up of nearly 100 vehicles. Don't think there were a lot of injuries but many folks' days were spoiled. 0.9" of 30:1 fluff overnight brought the total to 3.0" on 0.15" LE. Final tenth was after my 7 AM report to cocorahs. Still the odd flake drifting down in Augusta, though I can see small patches of blue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiktock Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Surprisingly it semi-snowed all last night and was still flurrying in the morning today. I blew about 3-4" off the driveway last night and there was another 1.5-2" this morning. I think I may have pulled 5-6" from the storm when all is said and done. Yard looks gorgeous and back to powdery winter landscape. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Thank you i appreciate the acknowledgement. Think it was a B/B- for both Ice and Snow. I was tempted to go up and seriously considering it but after many mesos started backing down the front end thump and warming mid levels i held off. Interestingly this was my first call as well. Funny it was literally the lowest snowfall forecast out there and it was STILL too high in N 1/3 of CT. I didn't want to shave that 2-4 down though because at least that looked like a reasonable call, even with the trends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Yeah good call dude. I probably would have went higher last minute as well. Good job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Post analysis.....tough call on what exactly went wrong, but I think convection may have played a role in attenuating what was already marginal OMEGA/moisture combo in SNE, and enhanced it north. However I think if the system wasn't already a sheared POS, the convection alone would not have had this impact. My ice call was decent.

Expand Yea i ended up going up on the ice numbers and staying the same on the snowfall. Glad i did both. Quite an icestorm down at the shore here in CT 0.50"+ we got that half inch @ORH_wxman!!! It's absolutely beautiful outside, hardly any ice melted off of the trees and we got a solid snow covering on top of the ice now.
