First snowfall and everyone forgets how to drive.
There are going to be a lot of accidents today. Around here, it rained and now the temperature is rapidly dropping. There is going to be black ice on the roadways that some people are not expecting since the temps have dropped so quickly. The wind is wicked and loud! No more sleep for me tonight.
I think the so-called bomb cyclone was kind of dud. We didn’t get a whole lot of snow in SE Wisconsin, but there’s plenty of wind to blow around what snow we did get. I think the biggest thing is the cold temperatures we’re getting behind it. -12 F here right now.
Remember Polar something of a couple years gone by....
“Bomb cyclone”= A snowstorm with a press agent ... like “polar vortex”.
Dangerous fallout from man made global warming?
Wyoming being Wyoming.
I got caught in a Wyoming blizzard in 1985. I was heading to Vancouver, Washington and just past Cheyenne. About 5 miles west it was like someone threw a bucket of snow on my windshield. It was the longest 90 mile drive to Rawlings. Took 4 hours and multiple stops to clear my headlights and wipers off.
Fifty years ago this cold front would have been used as proof we were entering “THE COMING ICE AGE!” which was being promoted back then.
