STORM SUMMARY 1-9&10-17
A QUICK PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW MOVED THROUGH BETWEEN 4-7PM.
THE ACTUAL SNOWFALL LASTED UNDER 90 MINUTES MOST AREAS.
AMOUNTS WERE VERY LIGHT BUT WITH SURFACES VERY COLD THE
LITTLE SNOW THAT FELL ACCUMULATED ON SURFACES REQUIRING
SALTING. THE SECOND PHASE CAME WHEN LIGHT RAIN AND
DRIZZLE SPREAD INTO THE AREA 4-5AM. EVEN THOUGH AIR
TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE MID 30S THE PAVEMENT TEMPS
WERE STILL AROUND 31 DEGREES RESULTING IN FREEZING OF
WATER ON ROAD SURFACES FROM THE GROUND UP. ANOTHER
ROUND OF SALT WAS NEEDED IN SOME AREAS FOR THE MORNING
COMMUTE MAINLY NORTH OF I88. BY 7AM, PAVEMENT TEMPS WERE
UP TO 34 BY 7AM AND THAT ALLEVIATED ANY MORE ICING.
