moneypitmike Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 28/27 freezing drizzle w/ occasional flakes. everything coated. Hope it lasts until sunrise. chris--how was the trek back from Salem? We attempted the ride to Northboro via Rt. 2 at 11:30a.m. Passed three accidents before we got through Turner's. Turned back and took the Pike. figured you had a hellish trip coming back that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 What is ice storm warning criteria these days? Half an inch of ice accretion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Tough ride home--290 through ORH was a total mess. Numerous spinouts every 1/4-1/3 mile it seemed. And still, idiots are driving fast. I'm baffled how their minds work.... Things were fine when I got to the Pike, 91 was pretty decent too. Once I hit the Mohawk Trail, things went to crap again. Big accident up on the trail in Shelburne temporarily closing Rt. 2 I saw dozens of car casualties on my ride down Rt 2 this afternoon. Many were SUV's. People are way to careless.

ORH_wxman Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 I saw dozens of car casualties on my ride down Rt 2 this afternoon. Many were SUV's. People are way to careless. I saw about 4 accidents on 290...and another 2 on 190 heading back home about 4 hours ago. People just don't respect the power of even a little bit of freezing rain. Its very dangerous stuff.

CoastalWx Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 NAM really increases NE flow later tonight over the interior. We'll see if it can advect that air near LWM SW into the ORH hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 After an inch of snow, I have sleet and mainly freezing drizzle.... 28.2/27 Seems to be a cf right on rt 128....as at my dad's in Woburn center, its above freezing, and everything is now wet, after maybe a half inch of snow....

ORH_wxman Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Temp has dropped back to 26.0F from 26.4F about half an hour ago. ORH is at 29F with a pretty good east wind. Kind of weird I'm 3F colder than them...though they could be more like 28.5F...but still a decent difference. Wonder if they will tick down next hour. First time I had stopped rising for a few hours.

40/70 Benchmark Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Nice to have a night actually look like Christmas.....driving down this afternoon, roads were slick until I hit rt 128....then in s Woburn, not a flake ont he ground with rainfall.....then, as you got back to Woburn center, there was a coating. Snow only made it to about Woburn center...south side of town was barren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 This is the most accretion we've seen in a while...we had 1/12 last year, but this is a bit more impressive than this. Maybe since 2/28/11. Still only like a tenth at most. But its sticking to most usrfaces with a temp near 26F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
