#snowstorm

Again, a reminder to AKQ AOR residents to not drive in the storm, especially Wednesday night and Thursday.

The snow will accumulate to depths that will pack under the vehicle. The drag and lift will immobilize the vehicle. I’ve experienced this personally. Fortunately only 2 blocks from my office with a card key in my pocket. I weathered the storm there until later when a coworker and I could dig my 280Z out.

It’s like running aground in a boat. But waiting for spring not tide.

Wait for it. Boffins promise by 0900R Wednesday, their latest prophecies will be posted. They generally post the slide decks used to brief local emergency managers.

Please take this storm seriously. We had many of these when I lived in CT. If the state and city have plows and overtime money, they’re no big deal. Most municipalities had their primary streets drivable a few hours after the snow stopped, typically 4-8. Life went on.

VA snow removal plan — wait for spring

NWS Wakefield has updated the snow storm forecast. The entire AOR is now storm warned. This is a normal snow storm! Well, not for here but not a blizzard.

The snow will be deeper than most vehicles’ ground clearance. If you try to drive in deep snow, the snow causes drag trapping the vehicle.

This storm will strand those foolish to venture out into into deep snow. Nothing, nothing will be plowed. Expect to be snowed in until it warms up. Say until next week.

It’s official, dismal denizens … AKQ boffins warn …

#SnowStorm right here in River City.

NWS Wakefield promises a forecast update at the end of the work day (1700R Tuesday). This is looking to be the real deal.

Not a lot of wind is expected. Just 1/3 meter of snow (300mm or 12 inches). With the storm track further south, it looks like we'll be on the cold side. No freezing rain for us in the guidance. Forecast guidance for for a medium-dense snow. Not powder but not Italian ice either. Just a nice snow forts and sledding snow.

Endless small flakes.

It has been snowing here all day. They say it's supposed to keep this up until 5pm tomorrow.

Contrary to every other forecast they give us, they're almost never wrong about how long our snow storms last.

Instead of the gym for exercise tomorrow, I guess we'll be flinging snow.

I'm trying to remember why I thought it was a good idea to retire somewhere that still has all four seasons. 🤔

I've read through the AKQ storm brief. Dismal Dominion.

The Seven Dismal Sisters are going to catch it.

8-12 inches

snow character is to be heavy and wet.

Worst snow east of I-95 and south of I-64 with snow to start midday Wednesday and ending by midmorning Thursday.

Help seniors with shoveling.
Shovel out fire hydrants and storm drains.
Remember black ice is a thing.
And going is easy; stopping is hard.
