2025 severe weather

[EatenByLimestone]

We had 6-6.5" of snow.
It was 20 -25 F when it fell, and 27 when I shoveled it. Flakes were powder like, no big flakes .
I tried to blow it off the cars with my (gas, stihl) leaf blower but other than a 1/4" from the top that blew away,.it would not budge.

Gotta get myself a snow rake on a 5 ft pole for the RAV4. I can do the roof with my 1 ft brush but it forces me to hug the car to get to the other side, and snow sliding in my neck is not ideal...

If you push the snow off the other side it won’t fall down your neck!

We're in for a mess if it happens. They're calling for 0.33 of rain, 0.23 of ice and 40 mph gust starting tomorrow night. What a winter so far, lots of snow & cold, can't wait for the colder months!

Can't; roof rack guides.
I have to push it off the back side. But either I push stuff backwards in small sections (taking a long time), or do everything in one go (if the snow allows that) - but then it spills over the side where I stand.

Up here everybody just drives down the road at 50 and it clears off!

I like those maps! I should get nothing!!

That can get you a fine of $1500...

And with the wet snow we get, and that creates nice sheets of ice.
I've twice dodged one driving 60 mph. As in otherwise it would have landed in my lap.

I curse those who endanger others by being lazy in this way.

Curious when those maps are from? I just looked for my area, about 10-15 minutes from where you are and we have a pretty good chance of getting at least .25" of ice.

Those are the best maps I’ve seen! Lol.

Weather is what it is. I keep a duffel of recovery gear in my back seat just incase I need it. I’ve used it to pull others out more than once!

Looks to me those maps are elevation based. It looks like temps are going to be above freezing. The mountains will force the rain up into colder temps.
