George BM Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I should have mentioned this before the melting but... When measuring ice accretion on twigs/small branches remember... Measure the amount of ice on top of the branch and also the amount of ice (not icicles) hanging under the branch add the two measurements up then divide by 2. Ex: 0.2" ice on top of twig with 0.1" of non-icicle ice below the twig gets you (0.2+0.1)/2 = 0.3/2 = 0.15" of ice accretion 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 This thing went pretty much where models said it was going to go 10 days out. Gotta be one of the most boring systems I've ever tracked. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormfly Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 0.20" accretion here. Best (ice) event since December 2020 for us. No impact to travel, roadways remained wet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Another reminder of how sensitive these borderline icing events are to solar radiation, even on cloudy days. Having a night event is such a huge plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate it! I am certainly no photographer...It was just a quick shot with an iPhone 13. Wish I could get Imgur links to work like they used to in here. I had to really reduce the resolution to get it to upload.

Thx again for sharing. The iPhone 13 line (as well as most recent Google Pixel generation phones) are SO capable of capturing the more challenging lighting situations like this. In fact, it just hit me what your pic reminded me of -- a 1988(!) album cover for a Windham Hill new age instrumental collection called "Winters Solstice II." I'd argue that yours is even better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potvinsux Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 After heavy rain, grass showing, snow guns are running again, snow falling, Temp 24 and dropping. Even in Snowshoe, the winter has been bad. This time last year, about 20" of snow pack. They need one more storm in March to keep running through April. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
