Scummyratguy Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 just curious to see if the E or ESE surface component brings our moderation off the ocean, with ssts obviously warmer than 32.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 just curious to see if the E or ESE surface component brings our moderation off the ocean, with ssts obviously warmer than 32.... We had E winds about 2hrs ago in Lancaster however the direction has shifted to NE. Our air is coming your way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennMan Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Just took a quick walk around my apartment complex...sidewalks and parking lot are completely coated with a sheet of ice from the light drizzle we had earlier. It's almost perfectly smooth...zero traction. Saw two cars try to leave the complex...one succeeded after spinning his tires the whole way across the lot...the other guy gave up...he could barely even get back into his parking spot. Roads are slushy for the most part, but there are patches of ice developing. Nasty and raw with a light breeze from the northeast. 26° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummyratguy Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 good! bring some of that colder and slightly drier air here so we can eek out a few degrees cooler and cause some mayhem later . you mentioned a dewpoint of 19 earlier at mu? thomasville is way higher still at 29 w a se wind.

Should be a very interesting night. I am about to head out too. Can't wait to see what effects 0.5" of ice can do if just a glaze is this bad. Want to come to cafe 210 with us other weather-nerds, Jesse? Down to 28.5 at the Walker building, 26 at the airport... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your thoughts on what will happen when the heavier precip arrives?? Do you think it will be too heavy to freeze upon contact or is it cold enough to actually create half inch ice accumulations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmister Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Haha I just may Josh. What are your thoughts on what will happen when the heavier precip arrives?? Do you think it will be too heavy to freeze upon contact or is it cold enough to actually create half inch ice accumulations? I still think we have a degree or two to go still of cooling. Since we're already at around 27, I think we'll be at 25-26 when the heavier stuff arrives. That should be plenty cold enough to build up ice, especially with a glaze on surfaces already. Looks like precip is really blossoming around western PA.I believe this was not shown on the 18z NAM this far east. So steady ZR is only a few hours away...

PottercountyWXobserver Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 you think we could get 1/2" of freezing rain up here??? its glazed over everything right now, was not expecting this until at least late, no snow no sleet straight to ZR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Holy ice rink, Batman. Harrisburg/Camp Hill are insanely slippery already. Parking lots are impossible to get traction on and roads are quickly losing theirs - Front Street is probably an hour away from being just like the parking lots. We went to eat at Confit in Camp Hill and had to use our bucket o' gravel in the car to get out of the lot. Light zr continues here in midtown.

MAG5035 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Thank you, Jamie. This is a difficult storm to communicate because there is still some uncertainty on whether our southern and western areas get back below freezing. We have some light rain and drizzle here in Altoona. It's 31, but nothing is really freezing. The precip is on the doorstep, starting to get some light freezing rain again. The Lacrosse wireless has 31.1ºF here and i took my handheld outside and got a few tenths under 30ºF with about a 26 degree dewpoint. Was a lil suspect of the dewpoint but it's pretty close to the KUNV one. The lil bit of rain we've had this evening has fairly easily frozen on all surfaces. Gonna be a pretty rough night methinks.

djr5001 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 what everyone saw falling on that chicago cam is indeed pieces of roof from wrigley! 50 mph gusts in chicago... that would be horrible here for areas with ice on trees and powerlines!
