Yes, I did strip down to the bare essentials. Its Reddit. Not the NWS. Its a brief reminder, not a forecast. I kept it simple because this isn’t a weather subreddit, and the general public is often bored of the mechanics of weather systems and just wants to know when they can drive again. I get your points, but I feel you’re overthinking what my goal was. Thank you for the thoughtful comment though, constructive criticism is good.

I didn’t know the weather rock could access Reddit.

I would (personally) take it slow and steady. The road crews have been out but I don’t know the current condition of the interstate here. This article (while obvious) might help https://www.peopleready.com/9-safe-commuting-tips-for-winter-weather/ Ans its also good to remember that bridges and overpasses freeze first. Safe travels!

Weather nerds (like NEWA) have been talking about this well before the NWS came on board and adjusted their forecast.

I get you got some hate but you did literally just strip down to the bare essentials of what NOAA has been saying for 24hrs and literally every weather forecast will tell you. Not to mention you totally omitted the flood warning from NOAA. And our governor said the exact same thing this afternoon.

If you want to be a "weather nerd" that's fine. But you didn't actually include anything nerdy like why the weather today was so weird.
You didn't talk at all about how the artic air from Siberia was pushed out by a high pressure system from the south Pacific chilled most of the central us as it moved southeast while pushing a warmer wet storm north with it's higher temps bringing the rain in and the low pressure causing the huge 60mph gusts.
Now that that system has moved out we're felling the cold temps that the rest of the country is feeling and all that wet weather is freezing the earlier precipitation spreading black ice everywhere.
Your totally right. This is a perfect storm for absolute shit driving conditions and no one should be on the roads of they don't need to be.
And It's fine if you want to be a "weather nerd". But if you going to claim to be a "weather nerd", at least say something more than "hey it's going to get cold tonight and thats goin to make the roads icy"
