Heck, any frzn would be fine with me the whole dont like ice thing is stupid. it's better than sleet. keep it under 1/2-3/4" (here it's probably closer to 1/2" as it's not as normal as further noth) and it's not even really a problem unless you have to drive somewhere.

Mrs.J Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Just saw the article on the Wash Post. Zone 4... go figure nothing all winter so far and this possible event is on the day of my daughter's benefit dance show. Personally I would prefer snow. I can drive in snow, ice no one should drive in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 End of the 18z shows the coldest air of the season in these parts by far. Shows a +pna/-nao too. Both the gfs and the euro seem to want to start Feb off really good in these parts. Euro in particular seems to be stuck on sniffing out some long lost greenland ridging. I'm starting to get a little optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to get a little optimistic. The last several GFS runs had that period as the warmest of its 16 days, so a flip catches one's eye to see if its sniffing something out. I'd love those single-digit lows to verify. Its rare to get through winter without single-digit lows here, but this year all I've managed is two 12-degree lows, two 13's and two 14's (all this month) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit extreme of a solution to say the least but a decent pna ridge out west with some ridging around greenland is about as good as we can ask for. No way the trough verifies like that but the gfs and euro may actually be onto something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having either one of those buckles in the pattern gives us a better chance than what we've had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about that. There have been instances where we would get a foggy misty ice event and just a slight glaze on streets and sidewalks would be very treacherous.

Avdave Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 this is an ice storm, DEC 2008 , it was wild but sucked too. What could possibly happen will not be like this or a major ice storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Finally get to pull the kids' sled out of the attic this evening. They were pretty excited this morning when I told them it would snow tonight. Be careful.....i remember sledding after an snow-sleet-ice storm in the 70's. I hit the flat runout at mach speed and cruised over 50 yards and ended up in the middle of a busy street. Looking back it was alot of fun.
