Thread for 12/14 potential dusting, arctic air, and 12/17 potential slop

[WVclimo]

Looking upstream and at the temp trend, pretty sure precip shuts off here before we crack freezing.

[MN Transplant]

29.6 and rising now.  No sleet to my knowledge.  Slick, but drivable even on the hill.

 

edit - ice is starting to crack up and the surface is tacky now, so threat basically done here

[CAPE]

Up to 32 here. Just plain rain now.

[nw baltimore wx]

Might have been posted but winter storm warning Frederick county west through Alleghany. Also, fatalities in the tanker accident in Baltimore.

[smokeybandit]

Should be back above freezing within the hour.

[Eskimo Joe]

Decent little event.  Nice win for the NAM/RGEM.

[Stormpc]

At some point there was sleet here. Pellets on the deck clearly visable. 28.1.

[mdhokie]

Deck pic from Ellicott City!

 

[mappy]

30/29 still sleeting

0.3" of SN/IP/Crud during the MoCo lull here in Clarksburg, 27.8F/28F of a S "wind" of 0mph.

Joe - which traffic ap is that?  Looks good. 

Up to 30 now with just freezing drizzle.  Nice coat on everything.  Precip is about finished apart from some stray showers to the west unless something back builds, but that does not appear to be happening.

[BlizzardNole]

Up to 30 now; precip has stopped.  Looks to be winding down here which is good.  Got things to do!

OT:  Wow Mappy that is one beautiful back yard!  I have the back of a house like 30 feet from my back door.  If we're on our deck and they're on theirs, it's like they're joining us.

Someone got on video that tanker crashing and exploding ... need to click in the article to see it.

Thank you! Nice open acre lot, main reason we purchased the house.  

[CAPE]

Moderate, even heavy rain here at times, and temp back down to 31.

Still some freezing on deck and trees. Looks pretty with ice coating and little icicles on all the branches. Nice knowing it wont cause problems with the rising temps.

damn.  that is horrible

[nw baltimore wx]

25 degrees, raining, elevated road surface, 50 mph.

 

We are a stupid species.

[mappy]

2 confirmed deaths with that crash

[Interstate]

[ThePhotoGuy]

Just went out again. Light rain currently, hard to tell if it is "freezing" on contact. Decent amount of ice on trees. The driveway is a sheet of ice while the road looks slushy. Doesn't appear that we had any snow/sleet, just freezing rain.

Damn! Ice turned that tree upside down!

[WxUSAF]

All rain with this band.  Temp ~31F.  Ground is probably colder, so I'm guessing still a lot of this is freezing.  

[usedtobe]

Lights are starting to flicker, usually that a bad sign during and ice storm.  Our trunk line comes down from the north. 

[clueless]

27. Moderate ice.  Sleet on the road.  Dog made it down the patio steps and back up.  I'll pass on trying that.  

[mappy]

Measured close to half inch of snow/sleet with about a tenth of ice on top

Icing on the cake? 

 

Heard it's pretty slick back home near Germantown area. Thankfully my flight home tonight will see temps above freezing so I shouldn't have a delay, but we'll see. 

[poolz1]

After a steady climb in temps every hour....been stuck at 29.5 for the past hour.  No doubt the warming is on its way but every additional hour at these temps can mean a lot.  Radar shows a steady march of developing -ZR moving thru.

[gymengineer]

Even the cold-running RGEM's a touch too warm with this event. It's got that 1994 vibe to it
