I believe they termed it a Major snow event because it doesn't really meet the definition of a blizzard, yet snow fall falls short.

Re: PESO -- Major Snow Event?
And here I thought they called it a major event like the major award (the leg lamp) in the 'Christmas Story'. Dan, from what I heard, for the most part, the major event in the north east was in fact a blizzard - winds in the 7080 mph range and several hours long. According to Wikipedia - the difference between a blizzard and a snow storm is not the amount of snow but the strength of the wind.

Re: PESO -- Major Snow Event?
Blizzards are characterized by high winds. Traditionally sustained winds of 50 km/h (30 mph) were required along with heavy snow. Now the measure is visibility - a combination of winds and snow that limits visibility to 400 metres or yards is a blizzard. I guess my problem with the whole snow event nomenclature is that we had a perfectly useful and universally understood name for what eastern North America just experienced: a winter storm. Snow event seems like more of the CNN-ization of our culture. Silly, but I'm not going to lose a lot of sleep over it. ;-) Cheers, frank --- Original Message --- From: Daniel J.

Perhaps, but a lot of winter storms in the Northeast US are ice or sleet storms, rather than snow storms.

Re: Snow event
2010/1/7 John Sessoms jsessoms...@nc.rr.com: What about chains? You are entirely correct. Chains are a much overlooked aid. I have a set in the back of the car all winter, and usually have to mount them at least once every season. My father tells me that in the fifties they used to mount chains permanently on the wheels for the winter. A practice that was replaced by studded tyres, eventually. :-) The worst accidents seems to happen with hard-pressed long-haul transport vehicles. Those poor people are on inhuman time schedules, drive poorly equipped trucks, and in some cases have little experience. Especially the ones coming from around the Mediterranean or the Eastern Europe countries. I'm a bit puzzled by that since they have snowy conditions in all the mountaineous regions of Southern Europe too... -But anyway, I don't envy them. Neither their job nor their accidents. I remember about a decade ago the authorities said their goal was to have about 80% of the cars drive on non-studded tyres. I think they recognised already then that some mashing up of the ice surface was necessary. I also recall there was a gap year in the fee regime last time the roads got too polished. :-) The fees apply only to cities, btw, not the country as a whole.

2010/1/6 Cotty cotty...@mac.com: I'm sick of the snow and it's only day 1. Been out since 7am driving with a reporter through 15 inches of the wretched stuff, got home at 5 after doing 123 miles at 30 mph with copious stops for a few quick shots. More of the same tomorrow. Well it's a living I suppose. Make sure you have good tyres, mate. Drive save.
