Herb@MAWS Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 When you consider we didn't even get the main storm but rather the WAA out ahead of it, I can't complain about approx 5" while the main storm went to the Lakes. We can thank the strong HP (strategically positioned) to the north for that. This was an energetic, spring-like system, with plenty of GulfMex juice. While I noticed temps rose toward the end of the snow, the temp has remained quite steady around 30.6 for the past few hours. Just a bit of sleet IMBY as the snow slowly fizzled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The high is shoving things due east to ese. Lower pressure isobars are stacked along the mountains but not making much progress and until and unless that high eases to about 30.10 then we won’t see anything other than very light.

jnis Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Looking at the radar, I would think in 2-3hr central MD will be greeting either rain or freezing rain. Currently very light zr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdhokie Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 5" in 4 hours during the day on a weekday, no complaints here. Bonus, so far it hasn't been washed away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChangeYourScreenname Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hrrr is trending colder. It really looks like significant Ice later west of the 95 corridor. 90% of the total qpf is ice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usedtobe Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 If you want icing, hope the precip stays on the light side, otherwise the freezing on contact will reolease too much latent heat to get you the icing you crave, 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowCane Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Getting a little freezing drizzle in Gaithersburg. A few small icicles on leaves and street signs but nothing major. There's actually running water on the edge of the streets where it's melting on the roadways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I measured a total of 0.76" of liquid from the 5.7" of snow that fell this a.m. That's a ratio of 7.5:1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osfan24 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Looks like we are out of the woods here in terms of ice. Drizzling outside and 32 degrees. Went outside and everything is melting and no ice on the paved surfaces. Whether we get any tree ice accumulation remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourseasons Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Went out and scraped off the car in the FRZ. Even with the expected temperature rise overnight it may be a good idea to do so if you haven't already, since at least where I am (near KDCA) it's pretty heavy.
