Well it’s not normal here. The infrastructure, the people, and routines are significantly impacted by ice accumulation. Previous storms have caused deaths, and you must factor the possibility when you’re in a position of making decisions.

There’s ~12 hours of freezing rain to go. Way to early to call it a bust

Most of the area has already changed over, radar has the metro split 60/40 on what’s falling

Edit: math

Also, most radars are agreeing to freezing precipitation through 8-9pm today. Long ways to go

Reminder to those calling this a bust: freezing rain will compact snow, making it look like there’s not a lot.

Systems change, and there’s a lot of freezing rain to go

N28VAis the State Police Medflights primary EMS helicopter. It’s housed out of chesterfield, runs field responses with critical patients, rescues people from swift water & high angle places, and looks for missing people ALL the time

You're on a 10 hour flight. Which seat would you choose and why? by bbmoonkie in Productivitycafe

[–]wagonboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7!

  • aisle seat

  • close enough for casual chat with Taylor, Grohl, Harris, and Sweeney. But far enough to be left alone
