EHoffman Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 What's the general ratio for sleet? Is it 3:1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to go higher but taking seasonal trends into account. I’m excited for the storm unless it turns into 35 and white rain for 8 hours (which seems highly unlikely :)). Still stings a bit to potentially get over an inch of frozen for so little snow, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdsofprey02 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 What would cause heavy ice secretion? I had steady rain and 29 last week and the ice was minimal. I figured it was raining too hard for buildup? Do you get more ice with lighter precip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A downpour at 31 degrees isn't going to accrete ice very well, it runs off before it has a chance to freeze. A steady drizzle to light rain at 31 degrees is much more impactful. 4 minutes ago, WhiteoutMD said: Ice for me could be really bad this go around hope it doesn't ice too much for you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I am a dang fool then. In the Severna Park/Pasadena area every storm this year has underperformed with either hours of pixie dust amounting to virtually nothing or a slop mess with little accumulation. I expect the same thing again for my backyard. Heck, I might change my username to Dang Fool... for wasting my time chasing what amounts to crap.

I expect little snow as this setup doesn't support significant snow at DC's latitude, but have an 80 foot pine bent about 35 degrees with the entire crown past vertical hanging toward my house. I'm hoping this is mostly sleet, like the last storm, but definitely very nervous. Of course this would be the year we get ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pines are notoriously shallow rooted and can come down at any moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they are trying to do the best they can with what they had to start with and prioritize. If things are improving with all of it then we just have to hope more and more will be allowed to get it and people stay healthy. thats all I care about. Are you saying you'd rather get COVID than not get snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine you won't crack 30" on the year from this, and I'd imagine three 6" events in any given year is an impressive feat in a Nina, even out there. Enjoy!! I've had 4 snowfalls here that have gotten me to climo this season: a 2" one, a 4", an 8" and a 12" storm. Last time I had 6"+ three times in the same winter was 2013-14. Need 3.3" tomorrow for my sixth 30" season in 15 winters at this location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Game table mostly done. Need to still add the gear pulls when I get them. It is a used IKEA table I got off of FB marketplace for $40. $30 worth of milk paint and black wax, sand paper, and my design with help from Mr. J on the gear registry. Chairs are those outside aluminum type that I got an amazing deal on. It is the first time I have used wax to protect let alone tinted. But it gave the paint a nice patina especially on the top. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple years ago I had a guy from up your way mill a couple oaks that I had taken down. Made some good furniture with them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
