<h2>Brad's Mystery Ingredients </h2>
    <ul>
      <li> Mark's sage advice
      <ul>
	<li>My take is that it was just a combination of factors that
	led to a "Perfect Commuting Storm" in N. Seattle:

         <li> Timing of frontal band passage in mid afternoon, to set
	up CZ in late afternoon and early evening.
<li>Temperatures at time of CZ precip a few degrees above freezing, to
produce wet slushy snow.
<li>Not too much precip so cars can make compact slush tracks on roads,
instead of full snow cover.
<li>Clear out of CZ around 9 pm, just in time to maximize overnight
radiational cooling and freezing of thin slush layers on roadways.
	</ul>
     <li>Brad Colman's Response: So, what is the additional factor?  I had already decided earlier this morning to go ahead and present this case at the Northwest Weather Workshop next month.  So, to <b>not spoil the punch line, I'll hold off from sharing it now.</b>  Hopefully you will be able to come to the workshop, when I will reveal my one additional factor (or will have had time to discount it; and, in that case, I will present a detailed review of Mark and Justin's thoughts).  ;-)
