87storms Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Icy but not sure I'd call it a showstopper. Main roads wet. Side roads icy/slushy. Car icy but wasn't tough to scrape off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nalanthi Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 From where I sit in Columbia, this event is certainly delivering impacts. Driveways sidewalks and parts of the street are currently covered in .3 sleet slush mix that is now frozen solid by freezing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Holding at 31 for past two hours. Accretion between .1" and .2"? It varies, depending on surface, and it's hard to get a decent pic right now without a too-light background. Most mature trees starting to like this around my house, pine trees getting especially droopy... I used the flash and used a tree with a dark pine tree in the background. I wish I knew how to post pictures. I'm not sure if it's possible with a phone? According to weatherbug I've dropped from 31 to 29 in the past 30 minutes. Very icy out this way. Best I've seen in this area in some years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOfClimatology Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Pouring again, probably will only take another 0.1" to start damaging the pines. Their branches are pretty much perpendicular to the ground. 29.9/28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Was just out in the woods walking around and had some larger branches falling down. Most likely ones that were already dead but a sign the ice is building. Impressive out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Can't be, must be total precip. yes total precip. do agree we're on the cusp of starting to see tree issues based on imby viewing and local reports. will be interesting to see if it can keep rolling a few more hours esp with sunset. after questioning wsw seems it will probably end up justified even in the city.. climo gets me again. eta: dca up to 34 now..

nj2va Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Sidewalks are basically an ice rink. Light freezing rain and 29 degrees. Losing the sun now too. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/01/c6253f05ca2b41d1350e9ad57ae604f2.j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Chaos Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Starting to hear cracking outside. Figured I'd post a few photos of the ice. First, here is where I measured 0.25" of ice on the tree. The measurement was from the branch top to the top of the ice, ignoring the ice below the branch: Second are two vegetation samples showing the spectacular nature of an ice storm: And finally a picture of just how frozen the Chesapeake Bay is just north of the Bay Bridge. The lighthouse in the photo is the Baltimore Light, and is entirely encased in ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Pretty significant ice accretion in my neighborhood now. Pines bent over, sidewalks and side roads glazed. Best ice event I have seen since moving here in 2009. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Looks like the precip is back building again. Couple more hours of this and it could be lights out in some areas. I've noticed quite an increase in ice over the past hour. temps aren't going anywhere right now. I'm really enjoying my ice! Jebwalk time lol.

hosj III Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 30/29, been stuck at 30 for the past few hours. Ice really building up on all surfaces except roads. I'd guess around .25" on tree branches or a maybe a little less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
