Winter Wizard Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Switched over to sleet in Annapolis. Looking at 0.25-0.30” of ice accretion in the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAOS Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Also worth noting, my lights have NOT flickered... but then again, I never flicker. Though I am fairly certain we will hear from some flickers about their flicking lights. For me this storm is a flicking failure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ji Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Starting to get impressive out there. Icicles have connected with the ground under my wifes car. My truck sits much higher but even those icicles are trying to connect. Street is crust covered. Not bad for daytime zr/sleet in mid FebThat's why im sad about the disaster on Tuesday. How did we lose our 13 degree cushion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osfan24 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 No ice on the trees at all, but some sleet and freezing rain seemed to start accumulating on the driveway and sidewalk over the past couple hours. Definitely a sheet of ice now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Pixee Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Ice snow still falling/accumulating. You can see the slush tracks in the street now. Temp stubborn at 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a while though. The roads are fine though. A tad slippery in the suburbs and backroads, but anything used with decent frequency is just wet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Just took a walk with the dog. Sidewalks greasy but not slippery, if that distinction makes sense. There is a glaze on all elevated surfaces, but nothing significant. Maybe 1/8”. This would have been a big deal if it happened overnight. 29.2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 This might be the worst case scenario ...light precip, well below freezing and continuing after sunset. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayyy Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Wifeys car is an ice sheet. There are icicles connecting the ground to the bottom of her car. Pretty impressive. Rates are perfectly light for accretion. Going to be an ugly night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure DC had more precip than us today, but there was precip here. It just seemed like it melted in the middle of the day. Maybe the cloud deck wasn't as thick here because the precip wasn't as heavy and that allowed the mid February sun to do some work? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure. Beginning to wind down right as the sun goes down. Without further accretion there's not enough standing water to create problems on the roads. I'd think this has to hang on till 7-8 to cause real problems, and radar doesn't show that to be happening. Worst case scenario would've been if this all started just a couple hours ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Those pixie flakes have to be the drizzle version of sleet. No way a pixie flake is surviving the descent alongside raindrops and pellets. It's backwards logic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
