CAPE Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 My concrete driveway and sidewalks are nasty. Half decent ice event during daylight by March standards. Holding right @ 30F I know there has been alot of downplaying of this event, myself included, but its an icy wonderland here. Even at 30 degrees lots of freezing on contact and icicles. I can walk on top the snow. I am sure the main roads are fine, but my road is a mess. Still not too worried about tree branches coming down..but they have a decent coating of ice.

StudentOfClimatology Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Pretty much everything caked here..29.3/28. Pine trees are taking on the most ice, but all the trees are starting to droop a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterymix Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Reisterstown-Hunt Valley Freezing rain with 10% sleet and occasional partially melted snowflakes. Roads are icy/passable with partial melt due to insolation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not too worried about tree branches coming down..but they have a decent coating of ice. It's impressive especially for the date but maybe still some disconnect. When you think winter storm warning you think highest level impact for travel and otherwise. So far.. eh, at least in this immediate area around here. Ice almost always gets talked up more than it ends up doing. For it to even reach the higher end of reasonable expectations is usually huge for ice.

dailylurker Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Trees really starting to ice up here in AA county. Starting to get that ice storm look. Holding at 29 according to weatherbug. This could get nasty if the temps hold steady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvantHiatus Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 It's icy and glazed over here on the coast, very impressive CAD. It may not leave for you guys, better hope the precip shuts down or it could turn into a crippling ice storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOfClimatology Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Any advice on how to measure ice accretion? Looks like maybe 0.15" on the railings/trees here but I'm not sure if that's the best place/way to measure it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arlwx Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I really don't see massive amounts of zr. The trees maybe have picked up .1 in south Arlington VA. I hope this is missing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Still light rain, accreting on trees and power lines now. Glad there is no wind. Nice ice event up here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I'm surprised D.C. was included honestly, but anywhere else it should verify.I'd imagine it will verify in the city. But still on impacts unless we get point of trees crashing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
