We're sitting here reading the Salt Lake & Pocatello NWS Discussions. It's like trying to read tea leaves or tarot cards or maybe someone's palm. For days, the NWS Staffers insisted this system would be well to the south of the Salt Lake Valley. HA! It doesn't take much snow to cause trouble on I-15 through the 100-mile metro corridor. Listen to this snippet from the NWS Discussion tonight
THOUGH THE SNOW WAS LIGHT...THE COLD ROADWAYS (LOWER 20S) CAUSED NUMEROUS INCIDENTS.
ROAD TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED INTO THE UPPER 20S...
WITH REPORTS INDICATING THAT TREATMENT IS IMPROVING DRIVING CONDITIONS AT LEAST FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
FOR SLICK ROADS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING COMMUTE.
OK, the forecast for tomorrow is 2-4 inches in teh Salt Lake Valley with locally higher amounts.
The forecast for SE Idaho is about the same. The timing is the key. When will the snowfall arrive?
Early in the day? Late in the day? We might have a window to skee-daddled north tomorrow--and we might not.
Anyway, we will keep you posted.
