It was cold here this morning but warmed into the upper thirties. It's cooling back down now and precipitation is moving. Not much is forecasted but it should make for a slick commute in the morning. Freezing rain mixed with show with accumulations less than three inches.
 
That does sound good Joe. Salt or sugar?

The promised weather system came and went without a major impact. I'd guess less than an inch of snow and a lot of mist. Just under six tenths of an inch total precipitation in my rain gauge. Temps got above freezing early in the morning so it was mostly gloomy and boggy out all day. Works for me. Much better than freezing rain.

INCHES?! It's a good thing your temps are above freezing or you would be buried in snow.

Depending on the temp, 1" of rain is 10+ of snow. We are well equipped up here to handle 30" of snow, as much as we grumble about it. The news tends to overhype it, and I'm sure the news in your area makes our weather seem extreme. Roads are nearly always passable during any storm. A few hours after the storm even the least snow appropriate cars can easily travel, and within 12 hours life is back to normal.

Thirty inches would overwhelm my area. (ouch!) A foot of snow is nearly a show stopper. Though we have snow removal equipment, it is far inadequate for handling more than a few inches. But, big snows are rare here so not investing for that rare occasion makes sense. I can count on one hand the snow accumulations of over a foot in the past sixty years.

Ice is the bigger problem here and is controlled much better these days. Road crews pre treat the most traveled roads and highways which really helps. That doesn't protect the trees and overhead services but the roads stay in passable shape for the most part.

We'd be happy to take some of your inches of cold rain. Can we work out a shipping arrangement? :D

No crap, It always amazes me you can watch one part of the country inundated with flooding and another parched with drought and we can't figure out how to move water from where there is too much to where there is too little. But I can order crap from China an have it in under 24 hours.

I know. It's crazy.

I've talked about this with some of my fellow Californians, and we all agree that the almighty dollar is involved. If there was money to be made--BIG money, like oil--a pipeline would be built tomorrow. But water?! Nah. :angry:
