Stormfly Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 10 minutes ago, Yeoman said: Any power flickers yet? 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...

Same principle applied to citrus growers in FL when they spray water on their produce during freezing threats. The water helps protect the citrus from freezing. Very counterintuitive.

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 The modeling on this event was pretty good for the 12z-18z phase, but most models missed the dry slot and also over did the QPF bigtime. Overall if you had taken a blend of the snowfall amounts from the euro/nam/gfs you would’ve ended up with a good forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve25 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I have a fun fact. BWI has recorded 20+ inches of snow in March 4 times in the past 135 years. All 4 times BWI was below climo for the season heading into March. Last time was in March of 1960. Some may look at that and say it's super rare, I look at it and say we're DUE lol. In all seriousness, I enjoyed this storm and it got me to 15.5 inches for the season. So one more moderate snow or a couple small ones and I'll get to climo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Just measured ~0.15" ice accretion on tree branches. About the same on top of the snow cover. Pretty cool to break ice sheets off the top of the snow. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Shenandoah national park has had two terrible ice storms this year but that's a pretty different climate with most of it above 2500 feet. But yeah, they're still cleaning up trails from November. It was the worst ice storm in a long time up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
