WVclimo Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Things getting rough on the highways here. Multi-vehicle accident caused by icy roads at the I-81 bridge including three tractor-trailers has closed the northbound lanes. Multiple other accidents up and down the WV stretch of 81 also. Then there are difficulties like these on secondary roads: Hampshire Co 42 Fire, 1 / Multiple vehicles stuck / Cumberland Road at Harriotts Hill. Mineral Captain 37 on scene requesting FD to shut the roadway down advising multiple vehicles stuck. DOH is on location 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolz1 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Im not one to get too hung up on whether I have a warning/advisory imby but to have nothing right now seems odd. Steady freezing drizzle with the occasional flake. 28/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowed all day and we hung out in the parking lot until it got dark. Then they closed the canyon... accidental interlodge. Stayed right in the base lodge. Next day the canyon and mountain were closed so we were stuck doing nothing with another 30" of snow on the ground. Ski patrol said they are doing control work and will try and open some of the mountain. Lifts started running at 11am but the canyon stayed closed until much later. There were literally less than 300 people skiing alta with over 70" of snow in 72 hours... You needed a snorkle. Literally. Amazing. We dropped cliffs everywhere and even if you landed flat on your face you would barely feel it let alone hurt anything. Damn man... those were somes times. I wish I could turn back the clock. Especially after another disaster of a storm here. Lol They call those country club days. Only folks on the slopes are those that were stuck there. Little Cottonwood Canyon is something else. When they get a big cycle, its dangerous af w those steep canyon walls. So many slides. Those two resorts and Alyeska in coastal Alaska are my fave spots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real snow accumulation but some frosty rime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Precip transitioning to snow grains now. Looks like at least a frosting coming for the glaze of ice. High today was 26.9, low was 22.4. Beautiful winter day all around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Latest (01z) HRRR is much less aggressive than prior runs with getting meaningful precip into the DC metro. Nonetheless, I'd expect the freezing drizzle stuff to continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Pixie dust falling now. Wont add anything to the accums. But its better than more ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Just went out for a quick jebslide and the freezing mist has certainly made itself known. Interestingly though, where they salted roads in the neighborhood, conditions aren't too bad. Still icy, but with lots of little bits of exposed pavement. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDreamer Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Also lethally slippery down here near Springfield. I had a tiny coating of sleet post-shovel which has turned into solid ice on my sidewalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestrobjwa Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Shoveling this stuff earlier was like cleaning off wet Domino sugar that dried and got caked on! Powdery on the top...rock-hard on the bottom, lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love cruising around topo maps, and even though you're MD based, I figure there's still no one better here to ask about maps. Sure! This is from USGS, national viewer. https://apps.nationalmap.gov/viewer/ The legend drop down gives you lots of options. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had a good H5 vortex passage it would work, but we don't, so the only decent vertical motion will be with convection offshore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the type of stuff I wish I understood about weather, but don't. 0z NAM showed the possibility of a sliver of precip making it up here by morning, but I'm not counting on it.

AceDoc Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Slush in the morning. Some slippery roads, but fortunately not as many power outages as last time here in the RIC metro. Did make for this interesting pattern on the road, though: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psuhoffman Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 3 hours ago, schinz said: I am on the SE side of Westminster bear Deer Park and Rt. 32...I am about 850 feet....what is your elevation and can you show some type of a map representation of where that height of the ridge is? Thanks Sure. So everything inside the purple line is Parrs Ridge region and generally above 600 feet and does well compared to all around. But the 3 ridges in the zone I circled in blue are around 1000-1100 feet and is a maximum even within the larger maximum. Always gets a little more snow and holds the snow longer. There is often a pretty drastic difference between here and Westminster. Note the little blue dot on the avg snowfall map right about that spot.
