Please clean your ride before you drive. How long does it take?

In those 8 minutes, you prevent doing this to the unsuspecting person behind you:

Be cool, and clean the ice off.

It Snowed!

After messing with us a few times last night with some brief sleet, the atmosphere finally had mercy and unleashed a snow event. Many received 3-4 inches of new snow on top of the crusty ice, leaving several inches of sleadable powder with snow continuing today. It’s been a hot minute since we’ve seen those snow rates we had last night and reminded many of us of years like Jan. 2016 or even Jan 2003. Although our totals this time were a little less, it came down quickly and was fun to watch. read more

The 18z HRRR model run thinks snow will pass north of us Wednesday morning. By sundown Wednesday night, we begin several hours of snow ending around 1 AM Thursday morning. Then a pause until sunrise, when a sleet/snow event begins then transitions quickly back to snow and continues at least through noon Thursday. Then the model cuts off. read more

First a personal note. I put on a guy on blast on Twitter this afternoon. I shouldn’t have. I got frustrated because I thought his criticism was unfair, and for a minute I thought I was in court. Those who disagree with me or don’t like the way we do things nevertheless deserve my respect. Dragging anyone’s tweet out in front of our audience out of anger and revenge in order to shame them to try and win an argument is not cool. What I did was, and is, wrong. Twitter feuds drive a wedge between us, no minds change, we all just end up angry. I apologized to him (to his credit, he was the bigger man and reached out to me first). The truth is my pride in what we built made me a jerk. I should always be kind. I’ve been given grace, and I did not return it. David. read more
