Juliancolton Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 31.5F with steady light rain in central Dutchess. A very tenuous glaze on elevated surfaces, but water is mostly running off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(While I have no delusions that my PWS is sensitive or precise enough to reliably track temperature to tenths of a degree, the jump above 32 did seem to correspond to the end of ice accretion.)

wdrag Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 Wantage NJ 4sw: Freezing drizzle...32F at 430AM. Everything well iced except some of the driveway. We'll wake up to glazed trees. STP At least 0.21" freezing rain...glaze thickness unknown but estimated 0.1"? Not easy to see branches at night. Walt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HVSnowLover Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 The icing did seem to hang on pretty long inland last night. It’s also still in the 30s in the city so colder than modeled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 Ice pictures from a nighttime 0.2"+ freezing rain event with estimated radial thickness of 0.12". Pix at 715AM This icing followed a max daytime temp of 34-35F and occurred at 31.5 throughout the night til the 430AM ZL- 32.0. This in my mind, counters an argument that we need 20s temps for a good freezing rain event. Nighttime I deny that. Treated surfaces wet but I think we need to be careful about dismissing dangerous icing for pedestrians at night at temps of 31.5F. Was a good advisory throughout inside I95 and maybe I95 itself. I will stand corrected with any science that says otherwise. These pix I think help my concerns about icing at 31F. off my pulpit for now and will listen to counter arguments. Can redistribute as you wish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Wet wet wet. I had some sleet but it barely accumulated other than on the remnant crusty piles leftover from the storm a few weeks ago before changing to rain. Now it's just dense fog. Next... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossbowftw3 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 By my eye testing we got about .2” ice here as well. Roads look just wet but trees are obviously glazed over. 35/34 now with some melting occurring. Hopefully most of this melts before tomorrow’s snow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 That’s how you run a freezing rain event IMO, .2” coating, treated surfaces had no issues. It was a beautiful site earlier driving around with just enough ice to make for some gorgeous sights but not enough to case major issues. Now it’s raining under all of the trees as it melts away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
