Rtd208 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Temp is hovering right around frreezing here. Roads mainly wet but a glaze of ice on cars, trees, power lines etc. Current temp 32 with rain/freezing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Currrently getting moderate ZR and it's still bopping between 32/33 with dp 32. My anenometer apparently froze over around 3 am (saw it was encased in ice) and the station gauge tipper was already frozen yesterday. So far the mPING reports are instructive.

Albedoman Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 On 2/23/2022 at 5:08 PM, MGorse said: Zones overall match the county borders. There are some exceptions like Bucks, Montgomery and Chester counties which were split years ago to better define the more urban from the higher elevation areas. Splitting of counties/zones is a long process. Emergency Managers do no set the criteria. They review what is planned to be in place basically to provide feedback. The criteria is based in part on climatology. PennDOT is usually not involved because the criteria is not strictly for what accumulates on roads. That is very difficult to predict. Some adjustments for as least some areas to the warning/advisory criteria were made over the years. There is some wiggle room when it comes to winter storm warnings as combined impacts can be taken into account despite the individual snow and ice amounts being below warning criteria. Lastly, I had no hand in expanding the winter storm watch this afternoon. thanks anyway for the explanation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkd Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Tree branches are coated with about 1/8" of ice. Actually look really pretty. Road are just wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Looks like it might be wrapping up here. Currently at 33 with dp 33 and the gauge is finally unfreezing and I got a bucket tip (I can still get a reading from the Stratus though). I think this is the first time since I got the GRLevelX products that I saw the little "Ice storm" icons on the display. There have been some pretty rough problems this morning around the area (including in Delco and southern Chesco). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Got about .08 to .10 accretion here, not too bad at first glance, although the bamboo is not happy. Gonna have a little work there. Note the snow pile, it's been hanging in there! Honestly didn't think it would make it through Wednesday, but there it is, lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a seedling of the original snow pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for I think Sunday with a mini-warmup, it probably would be good to make it to March 1st! There was a plow pile not far from my house that had been at least 4 ft high but still had about a 1 ft tall x 6 ft long remnant before the upper 60s temps and this storm. Haven't had chance to see what is left from it now but it did still have some staying potential since what was left was probably glacial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 1/3" best I got. Looked like it was headed to tree popping disaster level in the early morning then the rates sputtered out and the temps edged up to 30F and that was that. 1994 lives in infamy. Radar estimates are only near .50" rain. Looks cool out and 33F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Currently 34.5°F and raining from the trees.

Ralph Wiggum Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Beautiful out now. Fun time of year. I dont think roads were impacted too severely in my area so it made for nice scenery without the travel headache....at least imby. Sorry for folks N and W who were hit harder.

The Iceman Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Crazy the difference 5-10 miles makes in these storms. Was pretty much just a cold rain storm down here in lower bucks. No real accretion despite temps hanging between 30-32 all night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonyweather Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Looking at reports seems anywhere from .27”-.60” ice accrual across the Lehigh valley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Well thankfully I had the Stratus rain gauge out there because only 0.01" was registered by my Ambient. Ended up with 0.91" of liquid between the rain and (melted) sleet. Had little or no snow other than an early rain/snow/sleet mix with this storm. So the models got the qpf down but how that translated into ptype with the temps, would have been tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
