Cool thread has old newspaper clippings from past ice storms from Columbia, SC. Are the Carolinians ready? Power outages likely

https://twitter.com/cary_mock/status...41892048691204

"Very quick look at possible Columbia SC past ice storms: 2004, 1979, 1969, 1963, 1948, 1946, 1921, 1913, 1899, 1896, 1867?, 1858?, 1857, 1856. Potentially the most severe ice storm in Columbia in 1896. I attached a newspaper clipping here."

I’ve never seen a truck putting down brine in West Virginia. Is that more of a southern thing?

They brine the roads here in NC. In our county they usually only brine the right lane of a four lane highway, and driving after a snowstorm, the right lane will be slushy or clear, while the left lane is still snow covered or frozen. The stuff works pretty well.

Here, they will pre-salt the roads before a snow storm, which works the same way. Although, if the snow comes down fast enough (and depending on the temps), the salt won’t melt it quick enough.

Great! I love it but I`m retired. Monday being a holiday should help the unfortunates that do have to be somewhere.

Northern NH is supposed to get 8-14" on Monday, which isn't unusual here. Still betting on Mt Washington for the win, since you didn't exclude mtns.


They brine the roads in northern New England too.

Isn't that Ocean Storm going to evolve into our No'Easter? The size of this storm is going to be massive. Mostly worried about the ice........we were out for 14 hours the first storm of 2022, lucky it was not longer. It was fun for about 20 minutes.

They do it here. Its a good melting agent but salt works better at colder temps and for ice. Look for white stripes. Thats the brine. Pretty sure they do it there. Maybe?
