Cold Miser Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 52 minutes ago, Damage In Tolland said: As late as yesterday I was thinking I’d have gone Jan 6 and well into Feb with deep pack encased with ice which would be able to withstand the ever increasing Feb sun angle . Now if I’m lucky , I’ll have an hour of sleet that might collect above the windshield wipers and grass with frozen snow banks that slowly rot in the mild afternoons next week. With no pack, winter to me is worthless. Especially in a not desirable pattern moving forward Agree.. It's all meaningless without snow or the threat of snow. As much as it pains me the time to fire up the lawn thread is near. Almost time to pull out the bugle and play taps on this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could still see a favorable stretch in early March, but yea...barring a HECS that actually produces as such IMBY, the fate is sealed on this year...another dud. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-91 between NH/VT has to have the worst radar coverage in New England There ought to be a radar site at KMPV. I think that would cover a pretty big blank area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For about 45 days it is drizzle doldrums in this region. Not as bad in interior tho as RI. I enjoy summer storms but I don't do as much tracking...

IowaStorm05 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 With this type of event closing in tomorrow, I am thinking what is a good speed to drive if you dont detect ice yet? If it is icy obviously you would crawl... But my mom and I will be driving home at 3pm and 6pm respectively. For the former, if there was no obvious ice yet but temps were below freezing with rain I would not exceed 50mph on I95 and I would do 35-40 in a 50mph zone. Time and again I notice that humans do not respect icy or snowy conditions, especially SUV and TRUCK drivers, and they like to approach the speed limit that is posted for ideal conditions. Gets people killed all the time. Forecast calling for freeze line to reach Norwich around 11am tomorrow... So one good outlook would be things to be past-frozen and already treated. Then everybody would be crawling. Because to me the most dangerous circumstance is getting caught in it right when the freeze is happening, before treatment has been put down because many folks will still be doing the speed limit (or worse) when this goes down. I find however that in snow, Connecticut drives safer than Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
