8 cars abandoned at the side of the road, just in my direction from the airport into town. I thought people out here had block heaters and warmed their cars before driving / stations had winter fuel mix, so I don’t know what to make of it other than -40 is cold. Way colder than people who have been skating by without precautions realize.

actionjackson posted:I thought when it got cold enough it couldn't snow, guess I'm wrong As it gets colder aloft you just get higher liquid-to-volume ratios and the snow gets fluffier, but I've seen snow in -20 degree weather. I usually love big snows but this one is scary. 60mph winds with sustained single-digit/sub-zero lows is dangerous. First you lose power and then the wind pulls the heat out of your house. At that point the snow is just a confounding factor. I read a story a while ago about a guy in a trailer park during the blizzard of 1978. He had to hide in an interior closet in winter gear and use candles for warmth...for like 48 hours straight.

i cannot fathom living in a trailer in arctic conditions, they're built to the lowest quality standards possible, insulation is a suggestion so I can imagine absent power they'll get cold real quick.

I've heard from a few people that they're built with better insulation for places like Alaska.

It's pouring rain in Philly right now and the temperature is rising. It will peak in the mid-upper 50's between 1 and 3 am tonight. In the 22 hours after that it will plunge about 45 degrees. Weather is happening. Weird weather.

Oglethorpe posted:"Bomb Cyclone" and "Cleveland Superbomb" sounds like street fighter moves One forecast has the low as ~5 standard deviations lower in pressure than average and the nearby high pressure system as ~3.5 standard deviations above the average. That's going to make for some gnarly wind speeds. Buffalo/Rochester might see gusts up to 75 MPH. SE MI might get some gusts as high as 60. Even if there is no snow, that wind combined with the cold is going to gently caress stuff up. What's even worse is the possibility that snow will fall before the cold front passes, melt, and then flash freeze into unmeltable ice. IIRC road salt only works down to like 20 degrees. The roads will be unpassable and work crews won't go up in cherry pickers in sustained winds, so repairs likely won't even start until late Saturday AM. It's gonna be a mess. Hopefully the event isn't as bad as the models indicate.

SchrodingersCat posted:It's gonna be a mess. Hopefully the event isn't as bad as the models indicate. Yeah and one of the issues is the rain prior to the front means you can't even pre-salt anything, and if it gets too cold (below 15°f) salt will do nothing as well.

And most municipalities don't stock the kind of brine that can melt down to 0 degrees because of cost. I don't think anywhere in Michigan outside of the far-northern lower peninsula and Upper Peninsula bothers with it. Lower Michigan might be a sheet of ice until the 27th.
