cbmclean Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 So what us the thermodynamic mechanism where clouds cause the nighttime temp to rise? I can understand them slowing the rate of cooling, but how are they warming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpiemaniac Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Lest we forget, the Triad is expected to have up to 25 mph gusts in the morning and through tomorrow afternoon. So the damage effect of 0.25” of ice with those winds is about the same as 0.50” of ice with calm winds. We’re turning our backs to the supposedly dead villain when he could easily pop up and attack again. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the "pulling back on the reigns a bit" call maps have the triad and areas north of there with .25 of ice....thats nothing to sniff at. Its just not what has been called for for a while now. Which has kinda been the modus operandi this winter. But who knows what is gonna happen. Temps could tank and could still reach those totals. Everyone in the warning areas should be prepared for the worst and hope that mother nature hits us with a torch and nobody gets this destructive ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropping to 16 this morning I think is helping it stick instantly. Deck has that shiny look to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand them slowing the rate of cooling, but how are they warming? Once the sun sets, the Earth emits outgoing longwave radiation. A layer of clouds blocks that outgoing longwave radiation, trapping the heat in. As the radiation continues, temperatures can actually warm a decent amount. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tealsnowball Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Snow and Sleet has begun here in Radford. Started about 5 minutes ago via pinging against the window. Already coating the ground and cars in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Had sleet mix with the heavier band that moved through but due to the splotchy nature of the precip, I'm still at 34. It just isn't dropping much here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tullioz Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Precipitation started as rain at my location just west of Eden within the past ten minutes and the temperature and dew point have responded. Was: 33.6/23.1 at 1:50am Now: 31.5/27.6 2:15am Wind: NNE - 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullioz Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Since my previous post my temperature has dropped to 29.8 which is already lower than the lowest temperature reached during the last event which was 30.2. The dew point is at 27.9, so there's still room for the temperature to drop lower. There's a light glaze on all elevated surfaces already. Radar is filling in quickly and looks good down stream for some significant precipitation amounts in this area by the time all is said and done. This will no doubt be a more severe ice storm than the last one for my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxUNC70 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 32/30.5 in Mebane. It took forever to reach the freezing mark. Although I am a fan of all winter weather, hopefully this will not be a Dec. 2002 type situation. I still have horrible memories from that.
