SnowenOutThere Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Went from freezing rain to sleet and is sleeting heavily hopefully we could get some more cooling in the upper levels to turn it to snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCAPS Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 1 minute ago, BristowWx said: Almost like snow Yes! That's what we've got here in Haymarket, just 3 miles north of Haymarket on RT 15. The ground and now the roads are whitening. I wasn't expecting that. Luckily, it's all sleet here after earlier starting as freezing rain. At least it's pretty!

I drove from work in Maryland back to Charlottesville through 81/Shenandoah that evening. Almost got stuck in a couple spots and had to take several detours because of downed trees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vastateofmind Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 30.7, FZRA. Roads/sidewalks are fine, probably because it's a steady rain right now. Not much accretion yet on taller trees, some on shrubs, and definitely on exposed metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetbulbs88 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I don’t know where I moved to but it’s even worse than DC. No precipitation in my window. What have I done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osfan24 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Just went outside and none of the paved surfaces are icy at all. Just wet. And even the cars, while they have some ice on them, it's not really hard. You can take your hand and easily wipe it away. Pretty surprised. Maybe it's the mid-February sun angle doing its job? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BristowWx Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Sleet might give better traction but still ice. Imagine when the ZR hits it and the sun sets. Should be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Legit freezing rain near Downtown DC. Cars, all metal objects and unsalted brick sidewalks coated in ice. Street and salted-sidewalks seem just wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukeblue219 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Can anyone explain to me why my car and my kids' Cozy Coupe are covered in solid ice with 6" icicles all over, but the trees and shrubs are not? Basketball goal and net are just wet with no icicles. Is it raining too hard to accumulate on hanging items so it only ices on stuff with large flat surfaces?

Probably more surface area for the water to sit on a cold surface as opposed to a small tree branch grappling with sun angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Guinea Road on the way to Target: Know those hills on Guinea well from our time in W. Spfld. Lawyers road where we live is somewhat similar envioronment and atm treacherous. The fzrn coating as a base for the sleet is going to compound things. Based on the looks of the radar and the inbound precip field, this has the potential to over perform up here. Either way, would rather have the sleet than fzrn - far fewer power outages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
