North Balti Zen Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Look, to all the folks who cashed in throughout January - we up north are stuck around 11 or 12 inches total - so if we get a glaze of ice - that’s at least something interesting in the middle of what has been a really shitty winter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 i will say, i stepped outside for the first time today (work meetings start my day) and it's definitely a thick cold out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestrobjwa Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 A chilly drizzle annoyance here in the Towson area...phone app says 34...ack! But to this winter's credit, the "33 and rain" scenario hasn't happened too much...so there is that, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormfly Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I thought a bird flew by the window, looked outside and some of the biggest "flakes" falling down. Looks like ash from a big cardboard fire. Didn't last long, seeing smaller flakes mixing in. Brightened up noticeably as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 1 hour ago, 87storms said: i mean...honest question...how quickly will ground temps freeze after temps the last few days? we're also dealing with daylight mitigating a big drop in temps as well. i'm being imby, but i'm sure far northern and western md will be a different ballgame. With ice, it's almost never about the roads (bridges and overpasses the exception). More power lines and trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 35 and a mix of very light rain and some drizzle here in Burke. Maybe some mist, as well. Among the worst of weather. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolz1 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Current wet bulb temps across NMD 28-30. Surface flow out of the NNE should maintain these temps with the high anchored north of Lake Ontario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More power lines and trees. true, though i still have some doubts about the latter impacts for this storm. this event will make for an interesting case study. 60 degree temps for multiple days leading in with a dense cold air mass replacing it. we'll know tomorrow lol.
