Even worse in my area is they've also pre-salted roads last few light events (didn't really do much to help) and now probably don't have enough salt left to treat roads if we get freezes next couple weeks or a storm or two in March.

Similar to presalting but they use the brine instead. Slushy bottom layer with snow on top.. i dont drive or walk much on the roadways though to actually say how well it works. But it must act like salt I would think.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought I was looking at a row of stores with apartments above, roof pitched down right to left, and a super ominous looking sky overhead, but that's probably just me.

nycwinter Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 9 minutes ago, BxEngine said: Because parts of the lhv are already at an inch of snow, and we are clearly going to be at advisory level snows? The combination of an exit region of an upper jet and increased thermal forcing will allow snow to overspread the rest of the area from SW to NE today. Up to 2 inches of snow have already fallen in some of the southern zones. Have increased snowfall forecast slightly in these areas, and might need to increase them further with the next update. 12z NAM QPF implies warning criteria snowfall (average of 6 inches within a 12 hour period) by late afternoon. Latest couple of HRRR runs brings QPF amounts just shy of warning criteria for the same area with the axis of heaviest QPF just offshore. This is shaping up to be a close call, and complicating matters is that sleet is expected to mix in for some southern zones by late afternoon. Have decided to keep with an advisory for these areas at this point. At least for the time being can message heavier snow bands with SPSs before making any headline changes.
