gakmsg Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 1994 ice storms I had ZR with temps in the teens never had anything like that since took my Christmas tree down in January, put it in the back yard, and there it stayed until mid March....frozen solid to the ground. Little snow but worst winters ever for ice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soadforecaster Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I was young during the ice storms during 94. Man I would love to be in the teens and see freezing rain. That must be a once in a life time event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattMal88 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Moderate zr here. Street looks like an ice rink by the sheen coming off of it. Sitting at 29 degrees currently which is up 1 degree from the past 3 hours. Definitely more ice than I expected to have around here. The LV and Pocs are gonna be in trouble overnight if the low level cold holds up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyDabbundo Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Until we get above 37 we won't see any real melting either with ground temps so cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Up to 30 here but steady freezing rain. Tree branches have a noticeable bend to them. Neighborhood road is a sheet of ice right now, luckily we should be over to plain rain soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenmsav6810 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Until we get above 37 we won't see any real melting either with ground temps so cold Is there any basis to this rule of thumb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Is there any basis to this rule of thumb? I don't think there is any basis. Much like it doesn't matter how warm the ground is if you get good rates for snow. Once it rains steady above freezing it melts regardless how cold the ground was leading up to the event.

Once it rains steady above freezing it melts regardless how cold the ground was leading up to the event. I'm more concerned about morning rush here. If it's 35 degrees during the rush and dry (models suggest it's dry) then we will still see plenty of ice down especially on the backroads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
