Snow !! Part 2

[Sneakers]

I'm going to head to Rt 95 in VA and test out my new survival pack...

 

[Kyle]

Ya'll stay home and off the roads this time!

I don' wanna!

 

[kwillia]

Just saw the total predictions went from 3-4 to 1-3 inches.

SMC snowplow contractors have been called to start salting/plowing at midnight.

How come I haven't seen them putting down that liquid stuff??(I'm in Calvert and I imagine they aren't doing it over there either)

The county highway department in St Mary’s does not use liquid, but the state highway department does. I don’t know why the state hasn’t put any down. Maybe it’s because the temperatures are not gonna be that cold when it snows??

Thanks...but I remember over the last 5 or 6 years, any time there was a threat of snow, they were out coating the roads..Lot of times it never did snow or rain. Just turned everyone's cars white,..

And when you drove down the road, there was this fog of salt in the air from the cars kicking it up.

Kind of feel sorry for those folks west of us that are still without power going into this storm.

I heard somewhere that the liquid could only be applied to dry pavement for it to do any good.

 

[TPD]

Started raining about 1am in Ridge. Turned to Snow about 2am. Started sticking about 2:30 when temperature hit the freezing mark. Checking roads now to see if we need to put down any salt.

 

[GURPS]

I've have between 1.5 and 2 inches of new stuff at National Harbor

 

[Grumpy]

Maybe an inch or 2 outside PF in Calvert, pretty cold tho

 

[PrchJrkr]

Deck rail shows less than an inch here in beautiful downtown Abell. I knew cleaning off and gassing up my "winter vehicle" would change the outcome. I'm surprised we had any accumulation at all.

 

[TPD]

1" in Dameron. Roads mainly wet. Some slush where the trees protect the road making it colder.

 

[Grumpy]

I knew you would have the answer...Thanks!!!

A decidedly NON impact event. I made the trip from the 7th up to White Plains and just encountered wet roads, some slushiness on Billingsley Rd but that road is garbage on any day. ChuckCo closed schools today, SMCPS did a 2 hr delay which was a better choice.

 

[frequentflier]

well, I rekon the same thing is happening with anti-pandemic injections....Nahhhh, I trust our President.

But be sure folks, that you check labels in the local pharmacy before taking discounted medications. I was having problems sleeping at night, worrying myself to see if Amy becomes the first woman to win a million on Jeopardy, but thats for another day. So, a lady suggested I take Melatonin to take the edge off..... So, I downed a few and it didnt help.. Looking at the bottle once again, my shock and horror!!! I had been taking 500 mg.s of Melanoma!!!

Goofball!

Sidewalks and driveway totally clear already. Heard a plow come thru very early, but it sounded like it was just scraping a dry road rather than pushing snow.

And the sun is coming out now.
