mattinpa Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 The faster movement probably doesn't make too much of a difference (around here at least) since a slower movement would've probably just meant a lot more plain rain (which I'm doubtful we see any of at this point with the rate this storm is moving). Here though it could make a difference for the morning commute. Might be out of here by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattinpa Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 How much ice do you have there? PTW is reporting 0.42" liquid equivalent so far... I'm curious as to how that's translating to ice accretion. About to go to bed and haven't looked out.. Parsley reported .2 to .3 of an inch of ice.

green tube Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 .2" ice on top the snow......... the treated road in front of my condo is ice/slush covered..... i think the northern half of NJ will simply come to a halt this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Dry slot is starting to fill in with showers so looks like its not done once the steady precip moves out... just a lot lighter and more intermittent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 LOL, boy did we ever dodge a bullet up here. I had prepared for a major ice storm, and what did I get? An inch and a half of sleet. I'll be willing to bet we only got 0.1" of ice. So little of it accumulated that my wife's washlines aren't even sagging at all. We must have ran 90-100% sleet for most of the storm. Current temperature is 29.5 as of 5:00AM. So how did everyone else do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 not much in Edison. Maybe 0.2 inches - 0.25 of ice at the most. Unless rapid melting occurred, we got lucky. wondering if the ice storm warming was valid anywhere in my county Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 34 in Allaire. 25 at the pocono cabin. Noticeable glaze on the trees in Allaire.......though you can see melting occurring with temps edging above freezing. I heard the salt truck pass through just before the 2 hr delayed school opening was announced. Every phone I own, be it landline or cell, email and txt goes off at 515am. Every week in 2011 there has either been a school closing or delay. I personally liked the old listen to the radio process for closings. It provided me an extra hour and 30 minutes sleep.

Thunder Road Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 just hit 32.0° IMBY everything is shiny, no doubt, but I tried to measure ice on a spot on the picnic table i cleared yesterday and there isn't even any there. Not even 1/10"! But there's definitely more than that on the tree in my front yard. So I don't know what to report.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isnice Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Most certainly over 0.25" of accural here, making the ice storm warning valid for Somerset county. Good job NWS.

Voyager Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Freezing rain and 30.9 here. If this would have been all freezing rain overnight instead of mostly sleet, it would have been a real disaster, as just from what we're getting now, the power lines are getting encased.
