Hotting up nicely here, but I wish the blighters would sort the social distancing out.

[Greasy Roads]

It's snowing like fuck here.

This morning on Mt Washington it's -12F with a steady wind of 99 mph with gusts up to 132 mph. The jet stream dips low over the area from time to time and this is an example. Brrr The highest wind gust this morning has been 151 mph.

Twice I had to de-ice the car today, twice I tell you, and it freezes on the inside too.

[Father Hasil Cocteau, SJ;]

Thanks no good - where's the warm sunshine and cooling breezes of not to long ago...the inside to?

[Greasy Roads]

Looks quite nice here today.

It’s fucking Baltic here and the sleet is coming down sideways. It’ll probably be snow over t’moor tops.

[Father Hasil Cocteau, SJ;]

0C here this morning going up to 40F this afternoon but windy with gusts up to 30 mph. Cloudy with sun later. OK for January.
At Fancy Gap. it's 20F only going to 28F with wind gusts to 50 mph.

It did snow over t’moor tops, but it’s turned back to rain and the roads are clearing.


The A171 between Whitby and Scarborough this morning.

Twice the cunts have used me as guinea pig and had me try out some previously impassable country lanes.

[Father Hasil Cocteau, SJ;]

Rain on snow can be really slippery - careful please

[routemaster]

Pretty well cleared now, we’ve moved up a few degrees.

I keep thinking to myself how much prettier RM's snow scene with the vehicle tracks would be if a squashed cat was in one. It would add a bit more interest to the viewer than the mere snow and traveled road.

Here to help.

It gives the eye a diversity of things upon which to focus. All white is tough on the retina; something dark is actually healthful.

[thanks for the help!]

Wekweeti, Northwest Territories, Canada - -61F [this does not figure in any wind chill]

All of Canada from the Pacific Coast to the Atlantic Coast is expected to be below freezing the next few days.

No snow fell from our sky today, but the wind has whipped up and caused a lot of fallen snow in the fields and moors to drift across te roads. It has caused a lot of problems today.



Note air ambulance as two vans collided head on as they hit a drift.

[Father Hasil Cocteau, SJ;]

Blowing snow can block a road faster than falling snow based on my experience. In the mountains, wind hitting a gap in the mountains from the flat lands can bring huge amounts of snow up hill and when it reaches the top, drops the snow because the wind loses its venturi effect. In your case, I think the fences slowed the wind-driven snow enough for it to fall in the road, quickly blocking it. Several feet above the road there was probably white-out conditions which lowers visibility to about zero feet.
Hope no one was badly hurt.
