tamarack Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 After the ZR/IP/SN mess Sunday, GYX is talking 2-3" RA Monday into Tuesday - still enough pack in the mountains such that RA/melt could cause significant problems. First we freeze, then we flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 NAM is even colder. Unreal. Dendrite may be onto something. Airmass is deep enough to keep ZR and latent heat processes away for the initial Sunday push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 NAM is pushing the cold enough south that SW ME dries out and warms up into the low 30s on Sunday while interior SNE rots in the 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 That sounding could even produce snow at BOS if there's Low level lift...given its -10C at 900mb. So ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, it looks as though we could have more sleet and snow, than freezing rain. I'm starting to think the major icing is further west/southwest in Northern Mid Atlantic and Upstate NY.

It looks like it goes from a freezing rain advisory to a winter storm warning for serious icing. It looks like the NWS has kept the ice storm warning and also has the winter storm warning for icing as well. I just don't recall seeing and ice storm warning, but I could be wrong.

That 87 degree day was better in some regards Ha! Nope. 37 and rain is far preferable to even 70 for most runners. You can layer for cold. You can't unlayer for heat. If the NAM verifies and it's 42˚ and barely raining it will be downright nice. 2015 was a much better year for running (44, rain, headwind) than 2016 or 2017. Tuesday would be far better (50, cloudy, tailwind) but beggars can't be choosers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You start to risk hypothermia and you can’t get warm. It took me two days to get warm after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because our warning criteria for icing is really high. Half an inch of accretion. That's very rarely reached. I think the last time anyone reached it was the dec 2008 storm...outside of maybe some very isolated occurances. The criteria should probably be a quarter inch because you start getting a few power outages at a quarter inch and then it really ramps up around 1/3rd to 3/8ths or so.
