T. August Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The bamboo forest is about to get annihilated. It is usually so annoying dealing with it in the warmer months, but worth it in the winter. 27.8F and rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windman18 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Freezing drizzle in southern carroll. Roads and driveway all iced up already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 It's dumping snow here now. Approaching 1/4 mi. vis. This looks to have saved LWX's 2-5" forecast here from a bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpc Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 heavy mist with intermittent showers is the best for ice accretion.if you're looking for us you really don't want anything to moderate or heavy because it will run off and the latent heat release of the heavy rains will cause the temperature to warm. Keep it exactly like this and everyone will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right-- looks pretty close to what the 18Z 4kNAM was showing: spotty just south of this band through 7 pm before a more consolidated band moves in again before 10 pm. (Yes, it's a composite radar, but was the easiest to load quickly.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to think this event might be pretty far from over. Cold definitely seems to be dug in. I'm pretty surprised with temps too. I fully expected to be above freezing shortly after sunset. Bad assumption this go around. I'm usually not far enough west to hold temps well but this is one of those infrequent times where many of us get ice accretion as opposed to the usual suspects. Ground is really cold too. Fun event for sure. I'm not sure anyone can say this is a subpar winter anymore. Well...except for NPZ...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I guess if you're going to salt it's ok. I don't ever use salt...don't want to pay for it mainly. The sun will eventually win that battle anyway.

Jebman Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I'd love hours and hours and hours and hours of heavy freezing drizzle. Ice is one of the best sources of happiness in my life. It's outright hilarious watching ppl walking like penguins trying to walk on ice. I just walk steadily past them on my jebwalk, savoring the cool, refreshing weather as I happily slide on the ice.

A respectable snow AND ice event on tap? Didn't see the ice part coming for us close in folks. We'll see how it shakes out but temps are starting off a good but colder than I was thinking last night.

midatlanticweather Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Stuck at 25 for last 1.5 hours - 23 DP - just light stuff with an occasional sleet.ZR flare up. Looks like one is about to come through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to get to 3 pretty bad but it would have been dishonest to claim it for my yard. It's slick out there. I shoveled my drive earlier and I would slide right to the bottom if I had the guts to try. Too old for that. Temp wobbling between 26-27 here Yeah, early this morning I was hoping for 4". I haven't shoveled yet. Let glaze stay on the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Was just outside for almost two hours. Was a consistent mix of sleet and freezing drizzle/light rain and even still had a few snowflakes mixed in. Turned to all freezing rain/drizzle just as we got inside. Nice glaze on surfaces.

Ian Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Still not that into the ice threat at least big wise. I think HRRR is overdone, plus it's running a bit cold at this point. Has colder temps at 10p in some spots compared to what we see now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
