Exactly. Also, know your route. The city has done well at maintaining most roadways. It's safer to take a few extra minutes out of your normal way to get to a cleared road.

The fastest way for me is turning right out my driveway down a steep 1 mile hill & my neighborhood roads are less traveled & completely covered right now. Turning left takes longer through the neighborhood, but it's a flatter path to middlebrook.

Patience is a virtue.

Hahaha! I'd love to actually see someone do this. :)

I'd be laughing.

Edit: Fun, but not necessarily the most efficient method.

I do it every time unless it's a wet snow. Works fast and great. I do my back patio & woodpile, front porch, sidewalk, cars and driveway.

As I recall, last we had as much snow as your video was 3 or 4 years ago.

I just checked, only about an inch. Easy peasy. ;-)

You don't live back off Joe Hinton do you?

Someone help me out here - what makes a snow dry or wet? The amount of moisture available?

When surface temperatures are just above freezing, snow can melt slightly, adding more moisture and creating heavy, wet snow. When surface temperatures are below freezing, you get powder. Powdery snow contains less water, on average 5 inches of dry snow will melt to only 0.5 of an inch of water.

It'll be awhile before the pattern becomes favorable again, so I would recommend enjoying the snow as much as you can right now.

Looking like will be closer to the end of January Vol Knight, is this correct?


By the way, alot of fun watching and discussing this storm for the last week+ with everyone. Went from snow, to no snow and then back to snow with the models and track. Also interesting the GFS was standing alone for a long time but finally came around.

Wish the L could have been 120 miles East of the TN line instead of going up the coast. Would have been a monster blizzard for us but it's a very good start to the season nonetheless.
