Freezing rain/icing event - December 12-13
|
In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field. |
With an arctic air mass in place over the country, the weather rarely stays quiet for long. A fairly serious freezing rain event looks to be setting up over a large portion of the country from Saturday into Sunday. As warm air moves up and over the cold air at the surface, rain will develop on this warm frontal boundary and fall through the subfreezing air north of it. When the precip reaches the ground, it will freeze on contact. This type of icing is the most dangerous because it is not visually apparent to drivers - the appearance is identical to wet pavement. I fear this could be the first 30+ fatality event from road icing in the US this season. The threat will be widespread, from the South into the Plains/Midwest and Northeast.
As for my coverage plans, I am undecided at this point. As with many icing events, timing is critical and surface temps may sharply rise at the same time as the precip onset. There are several different threat areas I'm looking at right now, including here in Charleston. I will be starting a running-updates post sometime tomorrow when the picture becomes clearer.
