GramaxRefugee Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 33f dp 32 dzl. Just plain dzl Walked the dog and found certain shaded spots to be strangely slippery, but no glaze on trees, bird feeders, or any usual place... it is not an ice storm. School will open on time (snork) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wxdood Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Streets off veirs mill are completely covered in ice. Car tires are basically iced in. Ice on route 28 also west of Rockville. If it keeps raining schools will be delayed tomorrow for sure. I thought it would've stopped by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I was surprised to see ice on a few sidewalks here. Roads are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These ice things are one way I judge my station biases, especially at night.

We have temps over freezing this time and everything is icy. Not sure how close you/we are in Elkridge, but I’ll say it’s definitely treacherous. I’m sure HoCo will be delayed in the AM.

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Surprised how icy my property is given the air temp is 35. These are prime “bite it” conditions right now in Takoma Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingstonian Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I thought we had nothing (everything was just wet when I got home around 6pm), but when I went to take out the trash a few minutes ago I nearly wiped out on my steps. Cars, roads, even the main sidewalks are fine -- it's just my front steps (that get very little sun) with ice here (SSW Franconia/Kingstowne).

Everything, including the Carthage-level salted roads is a sheet of ice. Picked up 0.2” of sleet (and around 20 minutes of graupel) and, looking at the trees and cars, looks like 0.05” of ice accretion. 3 cars in ditches within 100m of the house out on the road. Nice nite out there but not one to be driving or walking unless your name is @Jebman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cae Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Rain has nearly stopped here, up to 32 degrees. The high-res RGEM thinks temps will be above freezing for a while, but the GFS, 3k NAM, and RGEM disagree. If the temperature drops later I'll go out for a walk.

Kinda surprised Fairfax only delayed. I'm honestly surprised FCPS had the cojones to delay. As @Kingstonian mentioned a few minutes ago, some shaded pavement areas have icy spots in this area, but I've encountered no other slick spots either on roads or sidewalks in SE FfxCo. Temps have risen 4 degrees in past hour or so to 37, and back edge of precip looks to be swinging through shortly. I've no doubt this turned out to be a much icier event from the MD/District line northward, but here it's kind of a nothingburger. I'd be a little ticked, too, if I were mattieg...except my kids have finally escaped the FCPS gulag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 The salt seems to have washed off a lot of the side streets, and some are getting icy. Bad out there tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinInTheSky Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I see other areas aren’t as icy but man, I just drove on ice for my first time in Gaithersburg and I was terrified. Did ok, but busted it on the sidewalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 At high for the day of 31.1, good 1/8-1/4 inch of sleet and freezing rain mix on everything and slick, slick, slick out there. Lots of wrecks in county and several roads have been closed. Looks like the precip is starting to slide SE out of here on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATreglown Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Prince George Va schools have not been open since last Wednesday and still closed tomorrow. Got to 45 today and had some light rain, but roads are still covered on the secondary streets here. Ground is very cold and the snow just wants to stay!!

Oh, I believe it is bad even 5-7 miles to my N & W. I was thinking earlier today (even though we'd be skating in Hades before it were even considered) that FCPS really should be split into two school districts, NW vs. SE. The entire district's delays and closings are typically determined by the worst conditions, the baseline for which is nearly always the far NW corner of the county. BTW, just ticked back down a degree to 36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
