NattyBo Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Busted a knee trying to get my kid up a very glazed over driveway at daycare. Dropped him, but luckily he was ok. A two hour delay is definitely warranted here in MoCo to let things unglaze a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yet another person who doesn't put that info in there. In the field of weather - location is quite important. Indeed, but he won't answer. He said his piece and then ran.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The glaze we had has started to melt off. Hmm...still 30.9 here in Colesville, MD and we have some fog around. Just had to re-deice my moms car. Very slippery still on our driveway and walkways. Road is fine because they salted in the last hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry should have said that from out my window to the truck parked across the way it is melting off. I have not stepped outside in the past hour so it is probably still slick. We are now reported to have freezing fog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I made the 25-mile drive into work today because I couldn't justify staying at home when there was nothing remotely dangerous about hopping in the car and driving to work. We had a slight glaze on cars and trees and sidewalks, but the roads were treated and in fine shape. As Ed Rendell said: "We've become a nation of wusses."

mappy Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 OPM will be open but with unscheduled leave/unscheduled telework tomorrow. yay! another day w/o a 6 hour commute for me.

Jebman Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 No freezing fog/drizzle, sleet or plain regular rain yet. 36 degrees. Awaiting our rain tonight, then 55 degrees tomorrow (with even MORE rain). Gonna need to break out the spring t shirts. Wednesday afternoon when the sun comes out is going to be a wonderful time to have a barbeque. Already got the beer chiiled and ready to go. Hey if we're gonna have mild weather - Might as well go full bore and enjoy it! It's impossible to get a look at the national radar map - 100 million overexcited weenies in the Midwest are refreshing that puppy every second. Just noticed a frz rain advisory out for the overnight tonight. Hmmm. Need to keep one eye on that tonight - but that GoMex Plume of moisture that's feeding the storm, should advect a fair amount of mild air over MBY for sure along with decent rainfall. We sure need the water, and it'll wash some of that gunk off the roads for a change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Definitely, quite a difference. You're only about 30 miles away.

HiltonHeadWx Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The temp is now up to 34 here in Hagerstown. We did have some freezing rain earlier today, after a little snow and sleet last night (emphasis on "little"). With this current weather pattern, I don't see our temp, at least in town, dropping below freezing for the next 24 hours. I guess it is possible the surrounding sheltered valleys will be a little below freezing tonight, but I really think the topic tomorrow morning will be "much ado about nothing" - at least locally.

Jebman Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Cloudy and 38 degrees - remaining snow melting furiously. Radar shows a solid wall of water with strong yellow RAIN banding bearing down on Woodbridge. http://radar.weather...s/full_loop.php This is a solid plume of tropical moisture screaming north fresh from the Gulf. Torrential rainfall will efficiently wash away all of our snow, probably well before dawn. Very moist warm dewpoint temps will accompany this plume, meaning that we will top out tomorrow near 60 degrees - WITH 60 DEGREE DEWPOINTS. Yeah you read that correctly - June-like dewpoints in early Feb. It is called La Nina - Remember that name well. This gigantic storm is greedily pulling in vast amounts of tropical moisture into its horrific maw - tropical moisture with origins in the Caribbean. The defo banding/trowal associated with this storm is simply destroying the Midwest and will literally bury Chicago alive in unprecedentedly deep snows, to the tune of 18 to 30 inches of fresh powpow.. Drifts will reach 15 feet. Don't be caught out on the highways in the Midwest in this blizzard. Entire geographical regions will shut down for days. Winds will kick up gigantic 18 foot waves off Lake Michigan which will crash down onto Lakeshore Drive in Chi-town. Midwesterners will be talking about this blizzard for years and years. We get off easy in DCA with soft warm breezes tomorrow and heavy rain from the Gulf Plume. This is so bad for us that we yearned to get dryslotted - NO. SUCH. LUCK. All winter long we suffered from very low or nonexistent qpf. Well the drought is over - we're in for plenty of qpf with this rainmaker. This one won't swerve around us like the Boxing Day snowstorm did - It has absolutely got its eyes locked on DCA and N VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
