How ‘bout it ha. Heck, how about least snow in the entire Northeast or Mid-Atlantic. Got to be close to that title eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't see that happening no way this is non-event with the amount of precipitation coming up and we're supposed to be below 32° essentially for half the event the first round is going to be rain we know that. But the second event it's going to be at least moderate precipitation with temperatures lower than 32° and I'm shown to be under 32° by 7:00 p.m. tomorrow night that's on at least three models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point, it's hard to ignore what the models are saying could happen. Lots of people could be put into danger on the roadways if the word does not get out properly on this ice.

At that time, I probably wouldn't be able to call the boss man and say the roads are bad and it's icy...because they probably won't be, so I'll have to roll, then get into the icy goods about an hour later. At this point, I hope the cold press is faster, and we go to ice about 3am, so that when I wake up, everything here is a skating rink, and I have a legitimate reason to stay home. HRRR is reliable approximately from 6 hours out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, have to see similar depictions from other meso's. Nam has you in the 50's after midnight but faster press of the cold air. Rgem is closer to Hrrr with mid 50's well into Friday am pre rushhour.

CarlislePaWx Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 1 hour ago, Bubbler86 said: GFS Ice Just remember what I said back around 7:00pm...I said that I cannot see how CTP doesn't issue at least WWA's for the majority of us. Is 0.25"+ criteria for Winter Storm Warning? I keep forgetting if it's 0.25" or 0.50" threshold. I'm pretty sure it's a quarter inch as that alone would be a ton of ice on everything. I'm not rooting for this outcome, mind you. At the same time there is definitely a hidden level of excitement over what might happen. We're not going to find out until we're in the middle of it. Again, I am predicting Winter Weather Advisories for nearly all of the LSV most likely in tomorrow morning's forecast issuance. They have to provide 24 hours advance notice for this kind of event. And, as I finish typing this at 12:17am I just looked at my weather station and it says that it has just started to rain here. Temp 37.4 degrees. I guess that last time we had any rain, it was freezing rain at the end of the Sunday 1/16 snow>sleet>freezing rain>rain. Ok, another tick on the gauge with 0.02" of precip so far. See you all in the morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Festus Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Well there’s a WWA both north and south but zippo here. I know it won’t change what actually will happen but you’d giving folks a heads up on upcoming hazardous weather would be prudent. Isn’t that one of the NWS primary functions? Maybe we can start a petition down this way to secede from CTP and join Mount Holly. At least they have their shit together. (Aside - can you imagine going door to door with such a petition? I’d venture 99% of folks would have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, lol.) Edit: WWA issued! All is well in the world once again.

TheDreamTraveler Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 5 am and everything is sloshy outside. Ground was super wet but I'm guessing it's like that because the ground was kinda frozen and its harder for it to absorb all the rain. Also it being 38 degrees at 5 am feels so nice lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa Clause Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Has there ever been an Ice Storm Warning that didn’t start out with them downplaying it as nuisance ice event? Every time we go ice storm warning it’s 2/3 through event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time we go ice storm warning it’s 2/3 through event. I actually think its one of the harder parts to forecast, as ground temps play into that part of the forecast and that's not really "weather". I'd think it better to play it safe, but we all know you'd hear b!tchin either way....I sorta feel for them in icing events. its 33 and plain ol rain here...what a bust vs. its 32 here and a skating rink....why weren't we warned.... boy I wish i was headed to the cabin tonight. They ARE gonna get a shellackin. My son is headed up w/ friends tomorrow mornin. Told him to take losta pics. Good chance at 20+ OTG after this event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahantango#1 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 My high temp is supposed to be 40 today. A few days ago it was supposed to be 46. So a definite downward trend in temps. Currently 34. I wonder if we will be headed to ice sooner then the NWS says we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats whats working against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasnownut Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 @mahantango#1here are 850's for same time stamp. And fwiw, i'm not saying this is correct in the end, but it clearly depicts what we have to overcome thermally to get those precious frozen varieties. and after storm is largely past us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Joy Snowman Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 A low of 38 here and about .2" of liquid already as we begin our long-duration rain slog. Based on the totality of model guidance and knowing my microclimate (i.e. I sit very low and do very poorly in marginal icing events), I am predicting an absolute nothing burger here. Would be thrilled to see a trace of ice but doubt even that, and as always, I hope to be wrong. Just not our winter thus far down here in the land of Amish. Good luck to those who do get in on some action and especially the northern tier, where they should have one hell of a snowpack after all this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
