Looking at the picture of the bike just posted it looks like the bike is under a drip edge.  If it were freezing rain there would not be a big thick ice glob in the middle of the handle bars, it would be more uniform over the bike.  Cant tell with that tape measure picture if it is under the drip edge too.

They even slant stick ice.........lol, Those pics are very suspect, Just look at the bike seat, There is not a lot there

It looks like it gets MHT around 30 by 22z. Looks like it drops your area into the upper 20s by 15z. Its real cold.

 

Awesome....thanks.

The ice equivalent of slant sticking.

If we get a mesolow east of BOS (which many of the meso models are showing), then it will easily make it...probably move south of ORH even if that happens. The models will often underestimate the southward push from a mesolow.

 

But of course ifit doesn't really form until further northeast like in the Gulf of Maine...then it will stop further north.

 

That's what I envision...a weak low south of PWM to give it that extra push. Not that it matters in terms of snow...but kind of a cool lesson in meteorology either way.

Getting ugly in the Champlain Valley and Saint Lawrence Valley.

 

A friend (Wadsworth) posted this on Facebook from Burlington earlier this afternoon...and this was just from the freezing rain yesterday and last night, with the bulk expected tonight into tomorrow.

Nearing an inch of ice in spots already...

The bike pic almost looks like its ice from underneath a dripping gutter or something...esp noticeable because of the thick pile of ice between the handlebars. That inch of ice pic can't be close to representative of the general ice accretion...they haven't had enough QPF for even a third of that, have they?

 

Oh that bike pic is definitely dripping off the roof.  The poster on FB said so... I should've clarified.  Its just a cool pic, haha.  Water coming from somewhere and freezing.

 

A few hours ago, a NWS met had 0.5" of ice in a Burlington suburb already. 

 

We've gotten a good deal of precipitation between yesterday and today.

If there was an inch of ice, we would hear of destruction which I have not heard of yet. 

 

I don't know... pretty sparsely populated in northern NY.  And northern NY had up to 0.75" of QPF as mixed precip yesterday alone, much less what's been falling today and this evening.  If this all has fallen as ZR in some of these spots, I could see them getting critical mass.

 

SLK is around 1.0" total QPF so far and I'm nearing 0.75" including yesterday's mixed precip.   

 

Most of the ASOS stations appear to be sucking with QPF measurements except for the spots that are straight rain.

1" of ice is destructive. Even if it's 24 out, some of the QPF is lost to drippage. I bet some

Areas have close to 0.7" though.

What do people think the severity of the ice storm will be here in Caledonia County (St J, Lyndonville, Peacham/Danville, Burke)?

 

The most will be in Northern Passumpsic River Valley like Westmore, East Haven maybe Burke.

 

St. Jay and Lyndonville may see up to 0.1" of ice. 

 

Warm air will continue to surge northward up the CT River Valley and Passumpsic river valleys
