MillvilleWx Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Was a steady 30 at the house before I left. Driveway was a little slick, but main roads were fine. Icing on trees aren’t as bad as last event. Deck was a complete disaster though. All the bird feeders encased. Birds were not pleased . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good assessment on the jackpotville then...thought it might've been some sleet trying to mix back in but alas no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinInTheSky Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Temp surprisingly went down to 31 again. I'm not getting any accretion though on the tree branches to speak of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinInTheSky Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Getting real accretion on the branches now. Sidewalks and roads seem fine, but all elevated surfaces and powerlines appear to be glazing over. Still at 31 degrees, temp is sort of bouncing around.

MN Transplant Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 33.6. The tipping bucket is recording, so things aren't iced up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 30 and significant accumulation happening on elevated surfaces. Would like to submit an ice report but forget how to determine amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high risk Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 So, it looks like we're going to be playing the game again overnight determining whether the winds and drop in dew points are able to dry up the wet spots before the temperature plummets. Worried about another round of school delays tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinInTheSky Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Glazing/Icing still happening. 31 degrees. Reminds me of Sunday. My highs are lowering and I was supposed to be above freezing by now. Wonder how long it happens this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worried about another round of school delays tomorrow. Would it be similar to Sunday where fog could develop too and add to a possible icy situation or will winds really just inhibit that aspect?

Seems like the drying out will start earlier which should reduce the threat of fog and increase the potential for rapid drying of wet spots. On the flip side, the drop in temperature should occur much earlier than it did Sunday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Just got a call from NWS as I am a spotter, asking for a report on conditions in my area. Reported a 1/8-1/4" of ice accumulation.

Haven't measured accretion but everything is solidly encased Lots of accretion now. Just plain nasty out. Would've have really been terrible out if we picked up a couple inches of snow first.

Really wasn't looking for this work, and will miss that tree a lot. I can't tell how big that is, but if I could limb one or two of the unbalanced branches and stand that sucker up, I'd try staking it and see how it does. Willows propagate like weeds.

das Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 After a slow but Icy start, ice is really starting to build up in Clarksburg. Temp has jumped from 29.7°F to 29.8°F in the last six hours.

Willows propagate like weeds. Thanks for the suggestion. When the weather improves I will get out there and try to see how much of the root is above ground. I think it stood between 15-20’ high. There was a second willow across the yard that Sandy brought down. That one really uprooted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinInTheSky Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Woah. Second time today this happened - rain got heavier and the temperature dropped back to 31. Getting really significant ice accums now on the trees. I'd say matches Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 PWS in my neighborhood has barely recorded any precip all day which suggests to me it’s still iced up. Temp is recording 32.9 and it tends to run slightly warm I’ve noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
