re: Winter thread: 3.5" officially in BR on the 8th day of meteorological winter!!

So what model is historically more accurate

Sleet is going to act as a leading indicator for our snowy potential. It'll help a bit cooling off the lower levels and let you know the colder air is filtering in.

So note the sleet you see. The earlier, the better the snow chances look for some to actually stick.

Correct - if sleet survives its descent to the surface, that means the air is at least 32 degrees or below just above the surface. If enough of it falls, the air at the surface will rapidly drop to 32 or below as well. Then that opens the door to some accumulating snow afterwards.

Even if it doesn't snow, sleet would accumulate and cause HAVOC around the BR area roads. The entire area would have to shut down for the day. Sleet is not good for roads. Snow can usually be handled unless it's heavy but sleet can't be handled around here.

Fwiw, it’s sleeting a bit here in Lake Charles.

It's like blizzard conditions in Mexico.

She's probably forming a committee to do a study to find out if we need a committee to do a study as we speak.

Pat Shingleton is a fricking chode. Harvey dropped its load on Houston and he is still draw squiggly lines into Mexico. I don't listen to anything he has to say anymore.

Is he still an Ivar's regular? He's been spotted many times there shitfaced just hours before going on air.

Any idea what will happen with I-10 tomorrow? I need to get to Baton Rouge tomorrow afternoon around 1 or 2ish. Will they shut the interstate down?

Hey Adam. Ready to bust out tNorthface?

Temps are supposed to be above freezing so that would indicate roads would be ok. I can't speak to the cooling effect a moderate snow band would have. Maybe patchy trouble spots on bridges where it's able to cool to freezing?
