Eskimo Joe Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 RIP, western Baltimore and Howard counties. Power outages creeping up there each hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolz1 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Just had a burst of heavy sleet come thru with a heavier band. A bit surprising....holding steady at 32.4 and trees are still accumulating ice. Power has flickered a few times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 been pure rain here and i'm glad. freezing rain sucks unless it's legit, on the street, ice hockey style, which is rarer than a hecs in the cities. gfs shows a thump of rain later. it's really impressive at this point how much precip we've had in general over the last year, and more precip to come in the next week or two.

BlizzardNole Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I was surprised to find my car crusted with about 0.2" of ice this morning. I have my timing for making the MARC train down to a science so I was scraping frantically. Then I get there and the train is 20 minutes late LOL. Trees, grass and cars were icy in Germantown, but roads just wet. It was right at 32. This would have been a really bad ice storm if it was just a couple degrees lower.

HighStakes Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Ice accretion continues despite marginal temps. Surfaces must be running a few degrees below air temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Going to be interesting if we drop back below freezing tonight in the areas that are currently under a warning. With some wind expected tomorrow it could cause another round of wires/trees going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 very noticeable change in the ice coverage from bethesda to columbia, especially once i got towards olney on the icc. pavement is wet here, but tops of trees have plenty of ice accretion.

Eskimo Joe Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Warning extended until 7pm for the northern zones...advisory extended until 4pm. Still getting reports of trees coming down in northern Montgomery and western Howard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainGeek Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Really hoping temps rise quickly so the rain can melt the ice before the wind kicks in....33 degrees with .3 to .5 of ice on the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Amazing how bad the ice storm has been in Howard, western Baltimore, Carroll and NW Montgomery counties. Closing in on ~100 reports and ~15k w/o power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hoping to avoid any additional ice build up as this has turned into a dangerous situation for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Stuck at 31 at the house in McHenry with freezing rain. Per my Ring security cameras, lots of ice on the trees but don't see any down (thankfully). Hopefully can nudge above freezing there soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hourly forecast from NWS has temps in the low 30's until the pre-dawn hours, when they dip below freezing for a couple of hours. Forecasted low for your area is 30. Winds are forecast to pick up considerably around dawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
