ORH_wxman Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Wow beautiful! The last one is just like a perfectly tinseled Christmas tree! Yeah, totally stumbled upon that one. Might be my favorite pic of the winter...better than any cool deep snow pack pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avdave Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Excellent pics Will, What kind of accretion did you get up there? Looks pretty severe not Dec 08 severe but still bad enough. I like the one with the Rt 31 sign in it, something about it. Nice series and thanks for sharing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the one with the Rt 31 sign in it, something about it. Nice series and thanks for sharing them Thanks It wasn't even close to Dec 2008 even though it looks kind of impressive. I'd say maybe there was up to a third of an inch. But mostly around .20-.25. There was some riming from ice fog too that "whitened" the ice a bit so it makes it look more impressive as well. You can see it well in the 2nd to last pic posted on some of those limbs hanging down. Dec '08 was about an inch and quarter of ice. So this wasn't close. Though I did see some scattered branches down of decent sized. The was some snow on them too so that added a little weight. This type of icing was great in that it created a very picturesque scene but without all the power outages and disaster that the huge ice storm did. The riming from the ice fog is very pretty...add a white highlight to the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 new england is like a different planet Well to be fair, that's at like 1000' elevation for most of thos pics. 25-30" depth isn't common unless you go into Central NH and north. Still, there is a drastic difference from your 60s to our ice storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
