Sneaux next week [Historic snowstorm in southeast Louisiana on January 21, 2025]

That’s because he tells them what they need to hear, not what they want to hear.

Even if it destroys their home, cars, or kills loved ones or close friends and then another TS or Cat 3 or 4 comes in about 2 weeks like another cyclonic middle finger to destroy and scatter whatever debris left behind. “Remember me, maternal fornicators”.


Keep in mind I’m not criticizing Bclemms or his work but I do irrationally hate and despise hurricanes. I forking hate and despise those cork-sucking maternalfornicator mistakes of nature and any NHS/Weather Channel analyst or reporter that even comes across as being “happy”, “overjoyed” or taking pleasure on-assignment covering these monstrosities in whatever towns and cities their sent to during the summer or early fall months.

We’re expecting temps as low as -8F this weekend. Wind chills of -30F and a minimum of 7.5” of snow. I suspect we’ll get over a foot.

I need to make sure my snow blower is working.

Ron Burgandy be damned

Unless @bclemms says we need to evacuate, I'm staying my arse at home. Oh wait. That's in June...

Please proceed with your normal activities.

Some of the models say pack up and move. Saw a model print a huge area of 12-18” of snow along the I20 corridor from Dallas to Atlanta while putting 1-3” of ice across La, southern AL and Ga. That eould pretty much eliminate electricity for a month or more in the ice.

Same model has pretty much shoen every thinkable solution since. Euro has been pretty consistent with a lesser extreme version but still pushing record snow.

Still a little too far out but signal is very strong, particularly from central MS to Houston metro. Farther east, less certainty on impacts.

So, this is looking like a thing.

yeah, saw some models this am that had snow/winter mix all the way down toward Houma/Grand Isle area.

Pretty crazy. Temps not higher than 34-36 degrees means whatever accumulated, will stick around for a bit.

My daughters BF supposed to fly out NO Wed morning to DC- might get lucky since its an 11 am flight and direct- because i can only imagine what hubs like Dallas and Atlanta will look like.

What I've learned about road travel in south Louisiana when these events occur is that if you MUST leave your home to drive somewhere, do not try to reach any destination that requires you to use any elevated roadway. Any below-freezing temperatures where there has been moisture remaining on the bridge will be shut down. I once had to cross over the Mississippi River from the west bank to the east bank after an ice storm and the only bridge that was sanded and was allowing traffic to proceed was the Hale Boggs (I-310) bridge. And I had to drive 40 miles out of my way to find a route that had no elevated bridges just to get to the I-310 interchange. South Louisiana is not the place to travel whenever there is frozen precipitation in the area.

I had mentioned they may want to get a room at/near Airport Tuesday and just post up there til flight. Because if you have to be at Airport by 9am, leaving NS at 730 am, temps still below 30, could be an issue since you only have 55 or Causeway ( have Twin spans, but that adds another 60 min to drive - and multiple bridges/overpasses to travel )

Thats if the flight will even happen. I dont know if MSY has the "de-icing" equipment needed.

Yes, the latest forecast is an inch of snow for the Ms. coast on Tuesday.

 

[zeetes]

fork. just found out i'll be working monday and tuesday, possibly activated for wednesday. just trying to play some marvel rivals. at least i receive 2x hours for k time (oh joy).

no disrespect, but i don't care about your utilities as long as i have mine. no one needs know if you have electricity or not, because if you don't, will you know wtf i'm "reporting"? my coworker knocks that sheet out.

i'm bitter.

The occasion I mentioned was about needing to board a flight for a ski trip. As you suggested it would be extremely advantageous to stay near the airport the night before a flight during one of these 'wintry mix' events because you should expect a lot of routes to MSY to be closed.

And just for the record, the ground crew at the airport DID de-ice our aircraft before takeoff. I actually recorded it from my window seat.

out of MSY? good to know. He was really looking forward to this trip to DC ( part of a large contingent of college student presidents from across country going to DC )


as for de-icing, first time for me was Denver many years ago and i watched to- even told wife, i think they missed a spot lolololl
