Deck Pic Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 fair enough.. ice makes roads and sidewalks slippery--even a little if there is poor treatment. me and you are very close in our thoughts at this pt if not our choice of words.. there is no meme or whatever. there are certainly people who have commented in this thread that dont seem to get that .4" liquid falling at 28 degrees does not equal .4" of ice. if nws verifies isnt it pretty close to last years ice if also moer snow on the front end? yes...the events are very very similar.....this one may be more snow as you said......we will have to see what the impact ends up being....but maybe it is a 1 in 2 year ice event?...i dunno....

BTRWx Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Everyone? No I am centered right between that .1 and 1, so i'm hoping for one more shift south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 ..well in the city, yes. It stayed freezing rain overnight for the western suburbs, even ones just outside the beltway (IAD didn't go above freezing until 10 am on the 13th). We had an Ice Storm Warning issued later in the evening on the 12th to replace the WWA. Most places in MoCo wast of the beltway got between 0.25 and 0.5" of ice. true...and there were some power outages...It was a significant event....

TradeWinds Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 New Snow Map Gives Everyone DC and North 1+ Interesting how the law of averages works. If that verifies, it seems to be a flip (or close enough) of last week's surprise snow for the Beltway. I know we only got about 12 flurries from that up here.

MillzPirate Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 From what I understand, the RUC doesn't differentiate between snow and other frozen precip. So that prob just means .3 qpf of frozen variety for dc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 From what I understand, the RUC doesn't differentiate between snow and other frozen precip. So that prob just means .3 qpf of frozen variety for dc. Mabye on that map it doesn't but on the BUFKIT files it does... So, as a whole the model definitly does do IP/ZR.

yoda Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 From what I understand, the RUC doesn't differentiate between snow and other frozen precip. So that prob just means .3 qpf of frozen variety for dc. I thought it differentiated btwn snow and freezing rain? Snow and sleet are prob in that total snow accum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUweathermanDD Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I thought it differentiated btwn snow and freezing rain? Snow and sleet are prob in that total snow accum That is the algorithm I think it goes by, the map I posted would indicate 3-4'' of snow/sleet.

Lisse Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I am centered right between that .1 and 1, so i'm hoping for one more shift south. As someone 1 block north of the Wilson Bridge - so do I. That's one tight gradient there. It makes me nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
