If there's a time to use the RGEM this is it.Looks like a half inch of ice in that corridor north of HFD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 The 2002 system was Nov 16-17. Pretty darn early for big ice. Was a perfect setup though. Elevation played a role too. There was definitely a lapse rate in the lowest 2000 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at about 500 feet but when you increased to about 1000 it was much greater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian5671 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 close to no precip at all anywhere in CT today...they moved the advisories down to the shoreline but nothing anywhere near us-same deal all day for most of CT-a scattered snowflake or sleet pellet but Winter weather advisories and early D for that?

BrianW Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I'm about a mile from the shoreline and everything is staring to ice up here pretty good. My road is partially frozen over.

40/70 Benchmark Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Its getting bad here....FRZ drizzle is no joke at this temp. 23.4/22...off a high of just 24.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I got out of there just in time. They nuked 93 with all sorts of de-icing stuff. I think I only saw 1 car off in MA. The freezing drizzle persisted to about MHT and the there was light snow for much of the rest of the way home. Took us about an hour longer than normal the get home from Boston. Back at home it looks like we got something like 8”-9”. The boy shoveled so I don’t have a proper measurement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
