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. 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...

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.

RDM Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 28F here just NW of Vienna - up a degree in the last hour. Still a steady freezing drizzle. Just came in from checking Lawyers Road in front of our house. It's an ice skating rink with interlaced wet spots. Even with all the salt they dumped today, walking on the treated asphalt is a delicate endeavor. Difficult to differentiate the wet spots from the black ice. Tomorrow morning is not going to be fun around here for those who can't WFH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinInTheSky Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I'm getting some light freezing drizzle in Germantown. Not much on radar though. I hope all of you have shoveled already - this stuff has settled and is now basically packed ice that cannot be shoveled. The plows created these ice mountains in front of cars - I feel so bad for them tomorrow lol... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you'll be forced to walk like a penguin, or else slide around on it like a lemming as you try to descend hills. I remember 1994 all too well. Those ice mountains in front of the cars, will have to be picked thru with a pick the hard way by tomorrow morning. You could also use a Jebman Shovel........

Wetbulbs88 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 5 hours ago, diatae said: My 38lb dog just scampered across the sleet covered grass without leaving a single paw print. We're officially encased. 27/27 La Plata Took my dogs out to pee before bed. They slipped everywhere. It was kind of cute but also scary because of the porch steps. There icing is worse than the ice storm the other day. This warrants a WSW far more than the sleet from this morning. It's outright treacherous. 28 in Chevy Chase, and it feels very cold with the mist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clouds aren’t deep enough to have ice nuclei available for snow crystals. So you get weak precipitation as fzdz. Seems like a total roast job right around 850 reported around 7PM. But what you said would still stand right? Could formation be shallow enough to 'bypass' that layer? Sounds kind of outlandish since it would be like, fog drizzle, but I'm not really familiar and might be reading this all wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Light snow has added up to an additional 0.6” overnight so far. Up to 3.9” storm total. 7” of frozen snowpack on the ground. About a tenth of an inch of ice accretion also. It’s been 26 degrees since yesterday afternoon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GramaxRefugee Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Out with the dog at 6:10 to freezing mist, same as last night. 29f . Glaze all over, but no icicles or significant accretion. Road condition is pretty poor due to lack of maintenance (AACo ). About 1.5" of slush filled with tire tracks that froze solid, then a glaze of frz dzl added on top.

EastCoast NPZ Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Picked up almost another 1/2" overnight of rimed-flake sand. Whitened up everything and layer down some traction over the layer of ice. Wasnt expecting that this morning. Pleasant surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Trees have a bit of a glaze this morning due to freezing drizzle. Roads are a skating rink. I might not be able to do my mile run this morning because of it. 27 degrees. Hopefully the temp stays below freezing today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Went out to walk the dog and there is substantial black ice on sidewalks. Still some freezing drizzle and it looks like a new band of something is forming over us on the radar. I salted the heck outta my sidewalk and stairs but a lotta people didn’t and it’s a skating rink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Pounded freezing mist all night, so the sleet was concrete this morning. Car was completely coated and our side streets were a pretty decent mess. Secondary roads were fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
