  7. I'm hopeful this temperature plot from @merrysky will prove accurate, because it only shows the temp dipping below freezing for a short time.

    The official EnviroCan forecast is for lotsa freezing rain tomorrow.

  8. Quite surprised at how fast the #Ottawa #snow has melted, perhaps a savings in #ottcity snow removal costs. But the ugh factor is #freezingrain forecast meaning more #salt dumped on the streets and paths.

  9. Word of the week: snowcrete

    I love a good snowfall more than most people probably do, but the five days since this season’s first big snowstorm have served up a wintry mix that I’m not so sure about–at least, from a pedestrian perspective.

    First we had about half a foot of snow fall from Saturday night through Sunday morning, then the snow changed to sleet over that afternoon, then we had some freezing rain overnight, then the temperature hasn’t reached 30 degrees since. Result: That accumulation is now armored under a protective coat of ice anywhere that hasn’t been plowed or shoveled clean or ground down from sufficient foot traffic.

    That hard surface–“snowcrete,” as we now call it–sparkles marvelously in the sun and under streetlights or moonlight, and it’s a huge pain to try to clear. I had to take a shovel, as in the metal gardening kind, to punch through that frozen exoskeleton in our driveway and at a nearby bus stop. Trying to lift too much of it with one of our snow shovels cracked the plastic bracket around its handle, and days later my right shoulder is still sore.

    (My reward for doing that transportation civic duty was not having normal bus service restored until Friday, which was also when I remembered that I’d forgotten to shovel out the stop on the other side of that street.)

    Because so many people have yet to do battle with the snowcrete in front of their abodes and because the snowplows that have now cleared streets for cars left boulder-sized chunks of snow and ice on their edges, getting around on foot has become a dicey proposition. You have to walk slowly to avoid slipping and falling on an icier patch, too many intersections require stepping over or around a snow obstacle course, and boarding a bus can become its own minor adventure.

    D.C. has fallen far enough behind for Mayor Bowser to ask the National Guard servicemembers sent here by President Trump as political props to help clear the snow. The only appropriate response if you see them doing their part: Thank you for your service.

    A #low-pressure system will keep the #Northland wet and #windy with #rain persistent over the #Wisconsin and #UpperPeninsula portions Sunday night and Monday.

    Colder air will change #precipitation to a mix of rain, #freezingrain, #sleet, and #snow on the #Minnesota side, which will lead to potential #icing on roadways.

  16. This much #rain falling on the region’s fresh snowpack will lead to a threat for localized #flooding across the South Coast, especially in areas where storm drains remain clogged by snow & ice from last week’s #wintry #weather .
    #Environment & #ClimateChange Canada ( #ECCC ) issued #FreezingRain #warnings for parts of the #FraserValley into early Monday as #threat for continued #ice #accretion will lead to #hazardous #travel & risk for tree damage and #PowerOutages.
