WEATHER53 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 It was dicey around me for about 2 hours, then temp went up 1.5* in 20 minutes and it was just rain. I needed that to happen or was headed for trouble so all in all most of you had a better handle on this forecast then I did. Kudos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Just crazy to stand outside and hear trees snapping every minute or so. I had 1.42 liquid, almost 3" liquid this month already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Drove south, kiddo and I are staying at my parents in Pasadena tonight. Hubby is coming down for dinner and a shower and heading back home afterwards. Bge said on the radio the majority of outages won't be restored until tomorrow evening at the earliest.

My mom will watch the kiddo tomorrow for me while I go to work. Good grandma bonding time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 High temps busted a little low today. We've hit 35 after a forecast of 50. Hi was 33.5°F in Clarksburg. Wife says trees are fully loaded with ice still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 For all the naysayers about ice, this one delivered. Good winter storm. It's a pain though. Had to chainsaw through about a 50 footer for my neighbor earlier, had a 5 inch diameter ash limb fall and mutilate 2 knockout rose bushes, and smaller limbs and branches all over the place. I ain't cleaning it up until the snow melts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodhi Cove Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I'm a total fuxking idiot. Ugh. Time for a swim in the Potomac river. Has anyone heard from Dave since he went for his swim in the Potomac River this morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Temp shot up from 33 to 41 in 1 hour with winds gusting to 30 mph. Lots of trees down already ...at least some melting was able to happen before winds picked up. Good news, all melted here earlier today. There is a lot of tree damage around town, it rivals 2/5/2010. Cherry Blossoms account for about 50% of it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnis Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hi was 33.5°F in Clarksburg. Wife says trees are fully loaded with ice still.Yep. Trees are fully coated here as well. The wind is really picking up. Hopefully we can keep power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhotoGuy Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I wonder how different the effects up North and West would have been if it was not for the heavy wet snow that stuck to the trees a couple days ago? I assume there wouldn't be as much tree and power line damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
