EasternLI Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 What I mean is, every time I look at the thermometer, the temperature has risen another 0.2 degrees. I sincerely expected a slower, more gradual temperature rise. Yea....at that rate you'll reach freezing when the event is over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEXtreme Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Omg temp is racing up here too. I've gone from 25.5 to 26.0 in one hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 precip has arrived here ip/zr/needle mix.............trending more to ip, I think its going to be a difficult night in sw ct. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersWx92 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Omg temp is racing up here too. I've gone from 25.5 to 26.0 in one hour. And yeah, the temp here seems to be starting to level off now at 28... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Re temp rise - I posted this in the PHL thread. Don't worry. Keep in mind the intial quick temp rise is expected as pcpn intensity increases from light-mod-heavy due to latent heat release at the surface. After this, NELY winds should cause temps to flat-line just below 32, probably holding 30-32 for most overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwcMan Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 temp topped out at 27 degrees here...dropped back down to 26.5 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaner587 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 the fact that many are seeing sleet is a good sign I think in terms of the depth of the warm layer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Skating rink! Freezing rain accruing quickly here in Metuchen. Just walked around and my street is completely ice-encased - took a full run and slid about 15 yards. My driveway has a bit of an incline and was very hard to climb up. I, too, love all kinds of wintry weather, even ice, so sue me. Temps up to 27F from 26F an hour or so ago. Not sure if this is temporary related to the latent heat of fusion heat release to the atmosphere from the phase change from liquid to solid; I know it's about 1/7 the energy per mole of water as compared to the heat of condensation (or vaporization, which leads to evaporational cooling of the column as it saturates), so it would have a lot less temperature impact than evaporative cooling, but it's not zero, either.

ParsippanyWX Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Ok, I get it. Unnecessary. No offense was intended nor was I making fun of you, just lightening up the mood in here with all this doom and gloom of an Ice Storm, and rightfully so.

IsentropicLift Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Everything glazed here. Looks awesome. John, Do you see temps rising faster than forecasted? Seems a few are making a big deal about a 1-2 degree rise since the onset of precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Do you think the crisis might be averted here with PL holding on longer than expected? It should go over to freezing rain eventually regardless of your location, I think you'll still have a good bit of precipitation after that transition.
