Shows icing here in nothern Delaware and I can tell you we are already at or above freezing. The rain is dripping off my car. Maybe far far north western areas, but even there, the cold is going bye bye. Yup. Not happening near 95. I do have tree ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 CLI report says DCA recorded 2.6" today. At 16.6" for the season now, there are only 6 winters in the past 31 years with more snowfall than this year at the airport. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice is building on trees and shrubs down this way (NW of FXBG) not so much on roads/sidewalks. Temp has actually fallen back to 30.8 on weather station.

WEATHER53 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 When I shoveled at 3pm the slush on the bottom came up easy. Now it’s icy on the bottom and that not the ground radiating out. 31.8 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 0.78 of liquid at 7 am on 4.1 of snow. An insane 5.3 to 1. Course it snowed here for about an hour before it started sticking, so that skewed the numbers a bit. Today I picked up .5 of sleet and I changed gauges when the rain started....0.20 liquid, that is 2.5 to 1. Crazy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 mPing report of flooding 10 miles to my south... has just been dumping rain. Would've made a helluva thump or a closer, if things had been a little colder. This banding is totally atmospheric memory for the next storm... or something 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I'm stunned there is no FFW. It's raining almost harder than it has been the whole time I've been in Charlottesville, and with the snow there is the addition of runoff issues. 32 and raining cats and dogs. 50+ dbz returns to my W and S.

wolfpackwxDC Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Flirting with 32 here - 31.5 now. Pavement that was cleared, salted, etc is just fine but the areas that were not touched by plows on the neighborhood streets are starting to ice up real good. Just played musical cars to get my car ready to leave first for work tomorrow and my wife's small SUV basically sat on top of the sheet of ice covered snow when I moved it to the street.

We're way overdue for that report to come in Not here but we're sensitive to it and with the ZR headed our way accretion is going to hit the 1/3" range on trees. Last time we had that category of ice would have been 2014. We got clobbered with that storm and a lot of folks along the MD/PA line were without power for a week or more. BGE is our supplier and they are decent with maintaining 10' clearance on overheads but with the mix of pines and oaks up here a Y split down the middle bringing half a tree across overheads is game over. EDIT: Winds are very slight so still a lot of snow on the spruce trees. When the wind starts to kick up with ice covering the forest it's one of the neatest sounds of nature hearing that crackling noise. Of course it can be dangerous too if you're too close and a big piece comes down on you! Such as this! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round Hill WX Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Steady, accumulation freezing rain in Round Hill. Temp just hit 31. 6.25” snow/sleet total today. Brings me to an even 30” for the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
