A TIGHT ROPE BETWEEN SNOW AND ICE
Written by: Scott Hetsko
Snow lovers have been teased by what could have been over the past 6 weeks. The question I've been asked lately is: "Why all the ice this Winter?" The answer is easy, 100 miles! That's the difference in the storm track that has allowed enough warm air to work in aloft to change our precipitation from snow over to sleet and freezing rain. Just shifting the center of low pressure's track toward Southern Pennsylvania would've resulted in roughly 30 more inches of snow for Rochester since January. This pattern shows no signs of shifting. Our next storm coming Sunday and Monday will begin as snow and go over to a wintry mix overnight and early Monday.
well if we have to deal with this ice can't we get a lot of it so places will close so we can stay home when it happens instead of just enough to make driving hazardous but not enough to close down the place
ReplyDeleteSeriously... This ice stuff stinks! Where is the snow?? Lets get those temps down so it all stays snow...
ReplyDeleteIt looks like another wind storm developing sunday and Monday
ReplyDeleteLet's get that track to the west so it rains. I agree this ice stuff stinks, but so does snow (not as bad as ice).
ReplyDeleteNWS still saying above average temps to end of Feb. Hope they are right.
