My house is situated ~6 miles from the nearest paved road, so we primarily drive on hard pack snow/ice/cinders all winter. 4x4 and chains usually required to get up to the house from the "main" road. Editing to also point out that cinders do kind of help with melting. They are darker than the snow, so they absorb light and retain heat which helps the process somewhat when the temps are near freezing. The treated routes definitely tend to melt a little quicker than the non-treated.. but it is marginal. Edited February 16 by tcari394 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least take a stab; otherwise may as well say 0-6" every time. Doesn't exactly help much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLChip Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Quote Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA 527 PM EST Fri Feb 16 2024 Jefferson-Tuscarawas-Harrison-Coshocton-Carroll-Washington-Brooke- ...AN AREA OF HEAVY SNOW WILL AFFECT HARRISON...CENTRAL JEFFERSON... EAST CENTRAL COSHOCTON...SOUTH CENTRAL CARROLL...SOUTHERN TUSCARAWAS...WEST CENTRAL WASHINGTON...BROOKE AND HANCOCK COUNTIES... At 525 PM EST, an area of heavy snow was located along a line extending from near West Lafayette to 7 miles northeast of Cadiz to near Avella. The band was nearly stationary. Locations impacted include... Weirton, Steubenville, Coshocton, Uhrichsville, Cadiz, Wellsburg, Wintersville, Newcomerstown, Mingo Junction, Follansbee, Dennison, Hooverson Heights, West Lafayette, Gnadenhutten, Tuscarawas, Hopedale, Smithfield, Scio, Jewett, and Port Washington. This includes Interstate 77 in Ohio between mile markers 62 and 71. Snow will lead to reduced visibilities of less than one-half mile and quick accumulation on roads, leading to hazardous travel conditions. Slow down, allow for extra travel time, and increase the distance between your vehicle and those that surround yours. A winter weather advisory is in effect for the area. Please monitor local media outlets and the National Weather Service for further statements.

Already warned my parents in NNJ that what I told them yesterday would now be 3-4. You can combine the Kuchera map for snow ratios with the precip map. The difference in 0.2" of precip and 0.3" of precip will vary where you are on the Kuchera map when it comes to snow accumulation. If it's straight 10:1, then it's 2 or 3 inches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
