I see we have a WSW for Ice.

 

We have seen ZR here in Dale City since about 830-9am. I would estimate that I have at least a couple of tenths of ice accretion on my car. The roads and sidewalks are pretty treacherous. I am probably the only person who is qualified to walk them, since I can walk ice without getting injured.

 

I am waaaay ahead of the Washington Metropolitan Region in terms of ice accumulation so far. You guys wasted qpf on snow. I've been piling up ice for a couple of hours already. NWS has been scramblin' to catch up with eastern Prince William lmao! I hope I get more than a quarter inch of ice accretion. I really, REALLY enjoy ice so much! No one, but NO ONE, loves ice more than The Jebman!
