WeatherWatcher: 4.25 inches of snow in Shoreline

Wednesday, January 12, 2011

Snow started falling right about 7:15 pm Tuesday night. Heavier snow hit at around 9 pm at which point about 1 inch had accumulated. At 1 am we had 4-5 inches of snow on the ground depending on the area and elevation. The rain started to mix in at about 2:15 am Wednesday morning but it was off and on snow and rain until about 6 am. After 6 am the temperature rose sharply and all precipitation turned to 100% rain. It also got quite breezy this morning and afternoon.

Snow Melting and warmer weather is here
As the snow melted and temperatures warmed, even though it stopped raining at about 9 am the rain gauge was measuring rain for most of the day as the snow piled in the rain gauge melted down. Including the snow melt off, we've recorded 1.37 inches of rain so far since midnight. More rain is on the way and it's expected to be very wet. Land and mud slides may be a risk once again.

Overall
Total snow accumulation at the weather station at 2 am was 4.25 inches. It begin to melt off after that time. No freezing rain occurred in Shoreline so we only had to deal with a slushy wet mess for the morning commute hours, no ice thankfully.

CleanScapes truck assisting with snow removal/sanding in Shoreline

Wednesday, November 24, 2010

CleanScapes provides garbage and recycling services to Shoreline.

As part of a pilot project with the City of Shoreline, CleanScapes is using a modified commercial collection truck to plow and sand roads in Shoreline. CleanScapes’ President, Chris Martin, came up with the idea after the significant snowfall the region received in 2008.

“It occurred to me that if our trucks could not get out to collect garbage on steep or difficult to reach streets, why not use them to assist our municipal customers to increase the number of plows on main arterials”, said Martin.

CleanScapes acquired several plows and a sander that can be placed on collection vehicles in 2009, and they are piloting this modified service approach in Shoreline.
