Accretions seem to be melting a little but if the temp starts dropping that might not last. Latent heat perhaps. Don’t think the roads will freeze.

Rain and slightly smaller icecicles on the trees points to melting. 32 degrees points to freezing. Its night time and we never hit our high so there’s that too. Been at 32 all day. I’m under blues on RadarScope. Looks like we still have a LOT of rain coming our way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Picked up 0.87" of pure rain. 34-36 degrees the whole time. Too bad it wasn't 33 and rain. That would have been awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paxpatriot Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Ended up with 3.1 inches here. Gotta say, really nice surprise from what I was expecting. It was pouring snow for a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely some icy spots in the moanin. I just went out and scraped up what I could off the sidewalk and made a narrow path down the length of my driveway then threw down salt in the places I scraped. Hope that will put a good dent in it overnight. Temp right now is around 33, 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 0.66" of liquid for a storm total. 0.19" was snow, 0.04" was straight sleet, and the remaining 0.43" was rain/freezing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I took another eastern W VA storm chase tonight. Low clouds all the way, then after I dropped down the Rt 9 exit off of Rt 7, noticed an inch of snow/sleet on the ground and ice on trees everywhere! This place is a winter wonderland! CONGRATULATIONS! Roads are wet but in great shape up here. You should get to do this all over again in a few days, but with more snow this time. I will gladly take lots of rain so that the western crew can enjoy snow. It will take lots of work, but we WILL get the NW and W Crews to about 140 percent of normal climo. At the same time, we will conquer the Dale City Drought with lots of Gulf-derived rain. You got to watch that ridge that Rt 9 tops just before dropping off into Wild, Wonderful West Virginia! DENSE CLOUD LAYER! Had to really slow down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get out, TOO MUCH FOG, both at the ground and in the mts lmao! I really hope that COLD FRONT gets here soon and sweeps out the fog layer. This is one time I do NOT want a freak snowstorm lmao! Wouldn't that be the thing, if the fog refused to lift, and it started to SNOW LOL! Yeah, I'd panic.

Nalanthi Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 So, I haven't been out, but anyone have any observations to show that HoCo closed for weather and not super bowl hangovers? Seriously though, Is it worse in western hoco or what? I'd be happier about the day off if it wasnt coming out of spring break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
