Out on the nightly walk around 9:00 pm.Still not any snow that was expected at 6,8,10,12pm and so on.It is 3:30am and finally we are getting some light flurries.The snow until now has been "Virga", http://www.accuweather.com/mt-news-blogs.asp?partner=accuweather&blog=Weathermatrix&pgurl=/mtweb/content/Weathermatrix/archives/2009/03/updated_snow_totals_send_us_your_photos.asp .Noticed a stiff,very drying W-NW wind.It also seemed the surface temp came up a bit while I was out?My nose,mouth and face were very dry when I got in.Heavy,grey,overcast all day.I'm guessing the hygroscopic/anti-freeze "Maple Syrup Flavor" had a role during this storm.It tends to dry things up nicely and what is leftover usually falls as freezing rain/sleet/hail instead of snow.I'm guessing this mixture uses proplyne glycol or "Magic Salt" as the main ingredient, http://www.magicsalt.info/Press%20Releases.htm .Both have a similar sweet smell.Possibly a heavier polymer matrix too? |
