sauss06 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 23 minutes ago, Ruin said: your employer is responsible if any one is in a accident since some employees feel as if they dont show up they are fired. or will be written up etc. i had a job who tried to force me to come in saying you better find a way. mind you this was in 2 feet of snow. I was like look here 1 your not my dept supervisor 2 I dont have a vehicle that can drive in snow up to my doors. 3 if i feel like im forced to come to work or ill be fired and if i get in a accident cause of it your held liable. so unless your going to pick me up in a lifted truck you better calm down. with that said id rather drive in 2 feet of snow vs ice. Mind you this post under is more about snow. but if you did drive to work and get in a accident do to no fault of your own but because road conditions were not safe. Also does any one remember when a state of emergency meant if a cop pulled you over you got a ticket if you were not essential personal. https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/legal-and-compliance/state-and-local-updates/pages/snow-lawsuits.aspx I’m not sure that is correct, You’re employer isn’t responsible. And most people have no idea what. State of emergency is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 We continue to have occasional snow flakes mix in when the rain gets heavy here...probably related to the elevation. Solid ice out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I looked at the column hours ago it had retreated way north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

State of emergency is. Yes if you feel as if they forced you to come into work or they will fire you. it was a law that was passed in the 80s now that law has changed here and there. but I was even told by a friendly employer that called all the employee's and even stated this to us. saying I understand we are having a blizzard if you feel pressured to come into work dont your are protected by the law.

Once the heavier precip came back in I shot up from 27 to 32 on my backyard station and 31 on my weather app. I can't see us holding on below freezing at the surface for much longer considering such a rapid rise.

MAG5035 Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Down to some light freezing rain/rain now with maybe a pinger or two and temps at 32ºF. Have measured 0.8" of sleet that's had some freezing rain on it as well. Don't see anything noteworthy in terms of ice accrual on trees/powerlines although I'm sure there is at least a bit and I'm heading out to do some more cleanup. The sleet brings the storm's frozen total to 5.6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just not what models forecasted. We are about to get a FRZ storm for 20 mins and that’s it. All good. It is ice out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I'm not a spotter and I'm not going out to try and measure a tree limb, but I'd say we're close to 0.25" with actual icicles forming on the wires and trees around here. Just had a heavy burst of rain which took my backyard station up to 33, but I'm not sure if that's just latent heat from the rain on my sensor, or if we have indeed gone above freezing. Weather app still says it's 31 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruin Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Unless the radar fills in after the temps warm up above frz. All forecasts will bust with the rain over night. infact we didnt get the real heavy slug of moisture models hinted out over night at all so far. mod to mostly like frz rain or a mist for a few hours.

MAG5035 Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 Welcome to the freaking Ice kingdom Only got about a tenth ice on the tree branches but the rain on the nearly inch of sleet earlier really made a mess. Overall snow depth with the double ice layer is 8”. Temps still at freezing and freezing drizzle still lingering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djr5001 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Ice definitely got close to .35-.40” range here but temp now 33 and some melting is trying to start. Clarksburg WV is currently at 58 degrees at midnight so the warm air is aloft waiting for some wind to start to mix it down to the surface.

But it almost seems like we had more ice over home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
