  1. There will be a few thousand kids that wake up this morning and think it has snowed. Only to find out that there is only a thin layer of crappy sleet and slippy ice.
  2. I wouldn't be awake for the last couple of hours if i wasn't a weenie. I thought there was a slight chance of a snowflake falling and there was no way I was going to miss it. Turned out to be a turd sandwich.
  3. It is turning white all around here for the most part due to the sleet. At least when everything is completely ice cubed it will look pretty. I can't find my yaktrax anywhere
  4. Precip type has changed from freezing rain to sleet. 28 degrees. Pavement is starting to get icy. Only more category to go and it'll be snow. lol fat chance
  5. 29 degrees. Precip has noticeably picked up. Everything other than the pavement has been ice cubed. My car won't be moving anywhere anytime soon. It would take some effort to dethaw it. Fuckkk. Pavement and puddles are still ice free though at least.
  6. 30 degrees with light freezing rain. Everything elevated has a nice glaze on it, but the pavement is still clear. A couple of degrees colder would be a problem.
  7. I've been scheming for a good way to save everything in the fridge. I think that if I put it in a cooler and then put the cooler outside, that might work (to keep it above freezing). It probably won't be cold enough to save the stuff in the freezer though. Looks like I'll be firing up the grill in the cold.
  8. I took a walk around the neighborhood to survey the risky trees, branches over powerlines, etc. Did not look good. I think there is zero chance I'll have power if we get over an inch of ZR. It looks totally sketchy.
  9. I get them all mixed up as well. I try not to remember them too much. Dec 2016 was probably it, but we've had at least a couple since then. I believe we had one last year that was super slick but didn't get thick enough to cause damage. Maybe a .33 accumulation.
  10. In the last big ice storm, my next door neighbor had a large limb from a tall Doug Fir crash through his truck's windshield. He has since removed the offending tree. Ice storms are no joke.
  11. A reminder to anyone living in the south valley: Do NOT park your car under a tree. Also, anything else you don't want squished should probably be in the clear.
  12. Good news! There's many details that aren't in the article such as who will have access to the data and if they will partner with the NWS, but a private company is adding 4 dopplers to Oregon. https://www.kezi.com/news/new-company-looks-to-add-doppler-radars-to-oregon-to-fix-the-radar-gap/article_73effdc2-b10d-11ee-b5eb-2b69b0b1a51e.html
