showmethesnow Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 25 here in Hanover, PA with a light freezing mist. Had some sleet mixed in a little earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalfy Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 wow its surprisingly icey outside. My driveway is covered in a glaze of ice... The freezing mist/drizzle seems to be accumulating on top of the trace of sleet we got earlier which is causing for really slippery conditions.

BethesdaWX Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yikes, things are quite nasty out there! Still freezing mist, the street under a coating of very very thin ice, a very light glaze on the trees barely showing in the streetlight. Its only a few hundredths of an inch of ice, but its just as dangerous as 0.10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDScot Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Went out to get the paper, looked at my driveway and thought - Mont Schools delayed, don't see the reason for that - then stepped on the blacktop and almost did a flip. Very thin ice layer, but all you need to slip is a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 27.7 Concrete sidewalks are ok, asphalt roads are slick. That's at least my obs from walking the dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowden Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Commute from Loudoun to Vienna was fine. Side streets are a little slick, but main roads are mainly wet. Go slow and you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdsofprey02 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Harford Co, MD was awful this morning. Slipped all over the place in my neighborhood, it was pretty scary. There were two accidents at the intersection of Rt 24 and Rt. 924 for those who are familiar. Apparently accidents all along Philadelphia Rd (Rt. 7) and along Pulaski Highway (Rt. 40). Everything seemed ok once I finally got on i95 south and had no issues all the way to Rt. 32. Must be worst up in Cecil county as they closed their schools.

D-Train Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Loudoun Schools just announced closing due to "deteriorating road conditions." Interesting to see how bad they are. Haven't ventured out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The trip from Odenton to Columbia was met with nothing more than damp or wet roads. Sidewalk at home was a bit slick. It seems anything that had been salted/treated in the past few days was fine. 29 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Slight glaze on the car at home, but the commute from Odenton to Baltimore City took me the same amount of time as usual. Main roads are just wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Good morning all. Sitting at 28 deg here in SW Frederick Co. Schools closed and went outside to check as the pavement looks just wet. There is a light glazing on the pavement, and those who did not garage their cars last night have the same light glazing. There is also a slight fog.

snowfan Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Ho hum. This area needs to become tougher when it comes to winter weather. I see no reason why schools should be closed today. I also see no reason why the federal government should be operating under unschedule leave/telework today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I slid a great deal throughout my neighborhood and I live in the southern portion of the county. I can't imagine how it was towards the PA line. I'd imagine it was bad for the northern portion of Baltimore, Carroll and Frederick as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curlyq Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I looked out my window and it didn't look like any problems. Walked out my house and there is a thin coating of ice everywhere. Walking on my sidewalk and patio was very slick. Sounds like there are plenty of accidents on WTOP. Excellent day to work at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also see no reason why the federal government should be operating under unschedule leave/telework today. I grew up in NW Ohio and I used to have your line of thinking. But the fact is that being a transient state most people just cannot drive in bad weather. Also need to remember we have countywide school systems. While Southern Frederick Co. may not be as bad, our county does span north to the PA line and West into the Catoctin mountains. This is why I wish we had school zones so the entire county did not have to close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Very thin glaze but on everything. Took a spill heading out to the driveway. Areas under trees are dry but anything in the open has the glaze on it. Slickkkk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanineJ Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hey Neighbor. That is about a minute from my house. That is quite a drive you have. Things still slightly glazed. Route 1 at Conowingo dam is now closed. Harford Co, MD was awful this morning. Slipped all over the place in my neighborhood, it was pretty scary.

WVclimo Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Measured 0.04" of precip from overnight at 7:00 a.m. Commute into Frederick was fine once past some slippery streets in my neighborhood. Nice orographic lifting going on on top of South Mt. Raining there, and the trees have quite a bit of accumulation. Beautiful scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 what do you care whether someone works at home or in his/her office? out where I am there is ice on everything and no salt on the roads. my company offers a telework option for inclement weather. so what? not everyone lives in DC. I have a 55 mile commute to work everyday and did not have a single problem getting to work. I do not live in DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to assume that you do NOT live in West Virginia like Trixie does, who got a lot more ice then us VA/MD folks did. Perhaps you should tell us your location...
