North Balti Zen Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Hard to buy into an icing event around here on March 1st. And yet, sometimes we too quickly write off events based on climo. A lot of deep cold air still in place. The airmass that has been in place for weeks now will not be denied. Very memorable stretch.

Windman18 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 24.4 here. Just got under a yellow blob with nickel to quarter sized flakes.

Ian Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 This event was pretty downplayed on the board yesterday, generally. Sent from my iPhone I guess. There's a disconnect even here. Honestly .25" of ice (up north, less here) after snow isn't really a big deal but we've been trained to think it is. It's already not that cold locally. I mean if you have to drive it could be annoying but nothing bad is going to happen to anyone sitting at home hanging out and plenty of folks said the roads would be bad today.

Jebman Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Steady light freezing rain. Piling up on all surfaces. I checked the sidewalk and the road. Nice and slippery, and getting even more slippery with time. I am absolutely LOVIN' this! Its the next best thing to snow! Hope all you guys with snow keep on getting snow all day and pile it up! I'll happily enjoy all of my ice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dukeblue219 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I would call this moderate snow now in Silver Spring. All snow so far here. Untreated sidewalks are just starting to whiten and there's a hint of snow in the median of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane M. Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 A lot of solenoids showing some nice warm air advection: (For those who don't know: when height lines and temperatures lines come together to form polygons, it is a really good indication of warm air or cold air advection. generally geostrophic wind flow runs parallel to the height lines, so in this image, it would run southwest to northeast.) Thought this was a cool example to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if you have to drive it could be annoying but nothing bad is going to happen to anyone sitting at home hanging out and plenty of folks said the roads would be bad today.It is what it is, but what you just described is warning criteria, which for some reason gets pooh poohed on the board.For the record, sitting at home during warning criteria snows is generally when nothing bad happens as well... I did just see someone leaving mass from the church across from my house fall down very hard just now. It is very slippery up here and folks didn't stay in. Just went over to where he fell and put salt down and told a church member to maybe cone off the spot. We've tracked crappier events a lot harder than we tracked this.
