Snow, wind, and roads
Posted: 11 Dec 2009 06:10 AM
The featured chart looks back at the recent blizzard experience for
the state and compares IEM estimates of State Patrol road travel
advisories and closures with statewide estimates of mean wind speed
and NEXRAD reflectivity coverage. The chart shows that the peak in
snowfall coverage came before the maximum wind intensities. You can
also see a very clear relationship between the improvement of road
condition with the decrease in wind speed on Wednesday evening (Dec 9th).
