Warm Nose Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I'm still confused ... so It doesn't like the ice storm idea but thinks today's snow is better than anticipated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GFS has a discombobulated nonsense system that gives nobody in NOVA/MD significant anything. It does, however, support snow this evening for parts of NOVA. Spoiler alert: it’s probably wrong about this evening based on the EURO/NAM/PARA/HRRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler alert: it’s probably wrong about this evening based on the EURO/NAM/PARA/HRRR It spits out a tenth of an inch of freezing rain which would actually still be impactful with a temp in the upper 20s. The GFS is the driest solution by a long shot at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormfly Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Last time we had a verified ice storm warning was Feb 04, 2014. Accretion on various objects can be beautiful for sure. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 GFS showery/light precip look is probably what you wanna root for if you like accretion. It’s not gonna be cold enough for heavy rain to accrete I’d think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjammin Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Wait wut....lol What year is that from?That's funny but it's always better to walk in the snow than on the sidewalk that's usually icier.Sent from my motorola edge plus using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not gonna be cold enough for heavy rain to accrete I’d think. It will still accumulate on everything (particularly at night) if the temp is 31 or below even with heavy rates, it just won’t be as efficient at accumulating.

Warm Nose Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Need a refresher of the use of "accretion" versus "accumulation" I think for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
