Just picked up my daughter from work in Elizabethtown and didn't encounter any ice on any surface. Nothing frozen here either - just mod to heavy rain. if it were July I’d be happy.

MAG5035 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 C'mon back edge, I see you out there between here and Pittsburgh haha. Miserable night, basically an all freezing rain affair and temps remaining right near the 32ºF mark. I'm glad I salted the driveway this afternoon. Probably a tenth or so in the trees/railings/etc. The lack of a high pressure to the north shows... a decent snowfall is probably the primary impact of this system over a good part of our region with one given the track of the low. We've really wasted a lot of potential this month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatheadsickness Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Here is some weird shit for you. I got to my home form having to work outside in Downtown Harrisburg about an hour ago. Street and sidewalks there where only wet but Accretion on other objects began there by 9:30 Pm and was obvious by 10:00 PM. Sleet was mixing in at times the whole time I was there. There must be some crazy micro climates form one block to the other in the Burg. Funny shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatheadsickness Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Bty Some how there was also a dusting of snow for half of Downtown Harrisburg a few day ago but not the other .Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Ice on trees, wires, cars, and anything else not blacktop or concrete. Strange ice event. My sidewalks and street are just wet with no treatment having been applied, neither before or current... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 It's still raining and there's water everywhere. With so much focus on the snow prospects from round 1 and how much frozen we might get from round 2, I completely ignored the QPF projections overall. This was a very wet storm.

pasnownut Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Little bit of ice accrestion here in ETown. Nada at home, but i really was never in part 2 so its all good. What shame this couldnt be snow, but it's mid december, and looks like 80N is snow/ice and maybe back to some snow. Oh well...onto the next one.

Oh well...onto the next one. Last night when i came home from company X-mas party i had some ice building up on the power lines in front of my house. This morning around 515ish on my way to work a truck with a ladder rack past me and honest to god the icicles were 5-6" long. I almost wrecked because i was staring at them lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meso's were suggesting more frozen, and while the snow part didnt work (which it usually doesn't in situs like this), we do tend to hold the cold a little better than modeled and that to seems to be the case. We were close to a good one, but it looks like we now have a boring period coming up thru Christmas as the red n blues on the 500's say take some time off and see you after Christmas, as the pattern looks to start trending more favorable around the 26th and beyond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't bother getting an exact measurement when I left for work at 5am but eyeballing the gauge was around 1.25". The Susquehanna in Marietta has come up 5' since last evening. Looks like MDT was significantly less than my location as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
