Yeah we had a WWA this morning. This definitely warranted a warning. Especially considering the crap they issued WSW for earlier this year.

Enjoy the ice to the east ya'll. Actually it sleeted enough here to cover the ground.....visible in the shoveled sidewalk and patio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Pixee Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Will go out later and carefully try to get a night pic....really icy out here. Backlight looks great against coated tree branches. Streets half shiny half white. Even my walkout landing has concrete slush. Temp 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sernest14 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Generators for the win! Going on about 3.5 hours- roughly .55-.6” here on top of 6” snow (compacted down to 3.75” now) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Man, it's hard ice crust on the sidewalks. Need studded boots to walk up my driveway. Straight dangerous. My road was treated not long ago but the sides are getting crusty now anyway. Overperformer imo. Xray techs will be pulling all nighters in the emergency rooms. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Very solid ice event. Probably the best I’ve experienced in this area (been here since 2009). As others have noted if this occurred overnight, or perhaps earlier in the winter with weaker sun, it would’ve been better, but still nice for this region. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interstate Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Pretty much a non event up here in 21057 even at 25 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiscaster Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Been tooling around town and was impressed with the roads for the most part. Lee Highway is just wet, Lee Rd and Old Lee Rd are a little dicey, Lee-Jackson Hwy is just wet, and Lees Corner Rd was clear for the most part but had some slush on it. 28 and light freezing drizzle.

Same here, we're about 10 miles north of your QTH. Boring weather day for us! I have a few thousand board feet of trees to cut, need this snowpack GONE! But I don't like mud either. Can't win I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Sure enough, sun went down and it all froze up nicely. There is the faintest breeze, and you can hear the trees crackle. 27.3 and freezing drizzle. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Wow my road is a sheet of ice, I went to the top of our little hill and took a running start and I slid like a solid 10 feet or more on my boots lol. Driving has gotta be super treacherous right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BristowWx Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Steady drizzle. 27. Better enjoy this one. Things look a little dicey in the long range. This was a nice event. Enjoyed the temp staying below freezing. We’ll get em next winter. I just know it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I just did not get as much freezing rain as 3miles to my south. Dogwood tree is steady for measuring and it’s got 0.1 but not .2 on it. I think 1999 was .5. 1999 was eerie All that ice made it “white “ at night as it was pitch black all lights and power out. vey very quiet except for the awful splintering sound of huge tree limbs. Never heard such a painful to hear shredding and cracking sound. Like something living was being torn apart....because....it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
