CheesyPoofs Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Looks like the NAM outperformed the GFS temp wise for the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowden Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Just commuted from just southwest of IAD to Vienna metro, roads are in great shape. Not even a coating of ice on the driveway. Trees and grass however have a nice glaze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Power has been flickering on and off a few times but so far so good. Here's a shot looking out the back sliding door. These branches are usually three or four feet higher. Fortunately, I'm really close to freezing so shouldn't get much more accretion at this point.

nj2va Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Nice coating of ice on trees, grass, metal surfaces. Guessing about .1"? A few slick spots on sidewalks. NAM FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Power just went out and back on again. Watching a tree behind the hose that is bending into my neighbors backyard. Raining pretty good again and a large part of it may go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
