Ginx snewx Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Skywarn spotter report, pics at 11 lol trees crashing in Ashburham too, hard to say exactly but thick parts look close to an inch per Skywarn picin Westminister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 That's impressive, but that pic is including the diameter of the branch it seems. Maybe there are reports close to that, but how do you have an inch of ice with less than 1" QPF. In fact about half inch QPF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Where's Forky, 1 inch ice reported in Westminister Mass, ice storm I would be surprised at that. I wonder where. I only had a quarter inch one town over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer your question fill up a ice cube tray not to the top, then freeze the water, always end up with cubes to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I don't see how they could have 1" ice. On Rte 2 in Westminster there was def more icing on the trees, but and inch is surprising. Wish I had time to drive there Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer your question fill up a ice cube tray not to the top, then freeze the water, always end up with cubes to the top. I think it expands 118%...something like that.

ChrisM Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Warmest it got today was 33 with most of the day just over 32. This was very VERY close to something big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ineedsnow Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Driving on the pike by the highest point im guessing they had close to 3/4 there it was pretty impressive so an inch somewhere I could see happening just localized Does not look right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Does not look right Very weird looking, another pic on their FB page from Gardner is smooth. I highly doubt though a trained ham spotter would fake it. Guess they had perfect conditions for accretion at 1100 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess they had perfect conditions for accretion at 1100 feet. I went thru Ice storm 98 here, And we had 1.5"-2.00" ice accretion and it was round looking on most branches and wires, That just looks weird to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Straight up fraud?, you should report it . Punishable by 3 years of living in BDR Well I don't know about fraud, but you don't have 1" of ice at 1100' and then .33" ice at 1000'. If there was 1" at 1100' I would expect way more reports > .5"-.75" ice all around ORH county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw precip was. .53 there , ice is 8.13 % times volume of a liquid so max should be about 5/8 thick. Straight up fraud, send him to winter hell on the beach in SW CT with the blooming Geraniums.

Ha, it's fine...it's inherent in our blood to question reports that don't jive with others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
