midatlanticweather Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I have sleet, and tiny snow flakes --- even have reduced visibility due to the precip! Ground is white with sleet... Still 29 degrees, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 29 degrees with freezing drizzle and light freezing rain. The driveway is slick. There's ice on the car, the trees, the fence. The sidewalk is turning into a skating rink. I'M LOVING THIS!!!!! Now, if only my road would freeze. Kool aid without sugar, an ice storm with just wet roads.

Scrolled from the bottom up and was super tire. Could tell by the tone it was you! It is nice if you have power! I do, but I am sure many will be in the dark.

Jebman Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Freezing precip is abating which is good news for those who are worried about power issues. Further precip should hold off until about 12z when we will have much milder 2m temps. Isnt there a coastal developing? We might be in the dryslot I miss the ZR though. We get so little true winter weather here on the tropical fall line I'm almost afraid to hope for this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Update, freezing precip is redeveloping in northern Virginia, to the west of I-95 but will likely fill in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdsofprey02 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Looks like a decent glaze outside but in the half hour I've been awake, probably a dozen power transformers exploding in the distance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Wow. What a beautiful event. Rates look like they were light enough overnight to get some quality accretion. There are 2 to 3 inch icicles hanging from trees, powerlines, everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 2 to 3 inch icicles hanging from trees, powerlines, everything. Its been generally fzdz with some light freezing rain overnight. I stayed up for it, while studying copywriting. I have some icicles with what looks to be three sixteenths of an inch of ice accretion on the car, fence, grass, driveway, sidewalk and even on parts of the road. Occasional fzdz and freezing light rain continues at 29 to 30 degrees. Temp keeps oscillating back and forth between 29 and 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Still at 32. Really gorgeous ice accretion on the raised surfaces. My pines are really weighed down. My Great Pyrenees just slipped and fell on the walk out back. This ended up being legit even in my part of the city.

das Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Still have power here in Clarksburg. 28.6F/28F with a calm wind as the next heavier batch moves in. Bucket says 0.32" rain so far but can't say that's accurate due to ZR. Looks like at least 0.25" accretion so far. The trees are very bendy (that's a technical term) and the roads are ice covered. Don't forget to submit your mPing reports. They are very useful for tracking and analyzing as the transition occurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltimoreguy Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 33 in Towson and just a tiny skim on the tree branches. Lost power at 4:40 for about 20 minutes and I hear transformers blowing in the distance. Just north of here is probably going to have some significant issues.

H2O Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Lost power briefly. Hope that is the only time it happens 32/32 so probably just a little bit of icing here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeedaSnowday Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Same.... Power out and heard transformers blowing out... Still no power but will crank up generator if needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 The areas north and west that are still in the 20's are going to have some problems in the next few hours as the rates increase. Even here, the trees and wires are looking strained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untreated sidewalks have a crunchy glaze on them and cars are glazed over, but that's about the extent of the impact near downtown Baltimore.

Jebman Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 More freezing precip moving east northeastbound http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/full.php Check out that weak defo zone over N Ind.

snownut Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 schools closed yet again out here in the valley... the light nature of this event caused things to really freeze solid. 30.4 IMSY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arlwx Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 What the %#^&^&?
