Misc 2021-22 Fall/Winter Whamby Thread

Anyone settling for major ice best think twice.

The electric grid today is massively bigger than it was in the December 2002 severe ice storm that left some without power for up to 3 weeks in 2002.

There has not been a proportionate increase in skilled lineman to keep up with the growth and some utilities dependent largely upon contractors in outages.

If a severe icing situation occurs many will be without power for a considerable length of time and few except rural folks are equipped and prepared to deal with those conditions.
us city folks will keep the hospitals and airports open.
 
If I get all precip types in MBY within 6 hrs, do I win something? I might pull off snow, IP, frz rn, and rn if this thing tracks up friggin 95.
