1. Storm weakened to a 998 Low now over MO/IL border.
2. 14" for Sioux City? I will grab some snow reports soon.
3. Minneapolis missed the snow! I wonder if they even got any. Chicago missed it too.
4. Attention Nei::: Snowing in the Adirondacks and White Mountains over night and this morning. Will change to rain though. Tuesday the 29th could be some nice accumulating snows up there
DIA is open today. The city is still jacked. They don't plow residential streets, so people really can't get out easily until it melts. And my neighborhood in Denver got around 18" of heavy, wet snow (a serious PITA to shovel). Freeways had major wrecks and shutdowns all over the metro area this morning as the wet pavement froze overnight. For a city that gets snow, Denver has to be one of the worst at clearing streets. They just don't touch residential streets, so you have to wait for it to melt. This isn't normally a big deal as typical snows are only in the dusting to 3 or 4" range, but when you get an El Nino blizzard, it doesn't work so well.
Huh. I expected Denver would good at handling huge snowstorms. How fast did NYC open up after this year's 27-30" storm?
When city plows bury cars like this, it takes a while to dig out But the main roads were fine the next day.
But guess where these folks throw the snow... back into the street.. So sometimes the back roads aren't great. Some back roads or side streets probably were still messy and icy so it took maybe 1.5-2 days for them?
Plow crews are always ready and able to handle snow but sometimes under staffed. Plus they had to haul away the snow to a site so it takes time.
Only 3 other times Denver had more snow then they had yesterday. In 134 years of records yesterday was the 4th snowiest March day. (midnight to midnight)
