wdrag Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 thats what i am thinking... still need to ck the models against thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jims Videos Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I think the fact that we had freezing rain even earlier and its still patchy up my way makes it more freezing rain than sleet once the main precip batch rolls in---even all the way up by me....and i'm well north of the line of death!

phlwx Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 wouldn't a sewd redevlopment of the low south of phl, keep the winds from the ne or ene?

I have no clue, I don't think its snow, it looks to me like ice fog, but I thought temps had to be lower for that to occur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96blizz Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 29 degrees now in Media, PA. Down 1 degree in the last hour. Cars starting to freeze again after today's late PM melt. Winds out of the East at 5MPH. Seeming to wobble and shift to the NE from time to time after being out of the SE. Could the cold air seepage from Central Jerz be headed our way --- and most importantly --- prior to the major precip... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 RUC brings snow in the area: I think most, if not all of that is sleet. A lot of snowfall maps from models take sleet into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 26.8°/25 temp seems to have leveled off recently... I doubt we'll get all the way down to the NAM-forecasted 25.5 by 03z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAPPG Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 27 degrees at PTW; earlier precip probably isn't good for icing. Could increase the danger. I think this is a great point and ask Pro Mets to chime in...please! Does the glaze from round 1 decrease the amount of latent heat released from initial heavy precip tonite, therefore increasing totals?? There is already a nice glaze/heavy rime from about Skippack, N and W. Just slipped to 24 now in NW Montco, winds NNE at 3-5, barometer steady.

bluehens Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Lost power once already here in Northern DE but I live in a heavily wooded neighborhood and lose power all the time so who knows. Temp I think is slightly under 32 and has been for a while. All the ice we had this a.m. melted during the day but has now refrozen again. I am doubtful it will get cold enough here to really get heavy icing if the rain comes hard enough. I will be thankful for that hopefully. Good luck to everybody north of Reading in PA because it just sounds like its going to get nasty up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96blizz Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 looking at that radar, looks like eta around 11-12? Would agree Tombo. Despite it being a multiple hour radar, it's moving. I think the key to that in our area is how much precip falls before we rise above freezing. The faster it gets here, we're all already below freezing and I get the sense the timing could be bad for Delco and PHL and an Ice Storm Warning extension might not be a bad idea at this point. I've been watching temps and wind closely and it's shifting to the E or NE with the temp down a degree or two already. Thing is, there seems JUST enough time to get to about 26 or 27 here just N and W of PHL and that's the 'danger zone'. Just my $.02. Btw --- thanks for all the pbp on the Euro.

JTA66 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 diamond dust? any pro mets know what this is? I've never seen it before Thanks ... you made me go outside to check it out. Yeah, there's something very light coming down. It's not drizzle, it's not snow, I'm not sure what to call it. Temp down to 27.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 2 weatherbug stations within a mile of me. One of them is very accurate but one consistently runs a degree or two too cold. Surprisingly, they both agree on a temp of 21.5 right now.
