I've been in ice storms and when it pours you can almost see the trees turning white and sagging. I remember in I think 1993 we had a real ice storm. Only one I've ever seen that didn't melt at the end of the storm. I remember 18 degrees and pouring rain. The cold snap that followed kept the trees coated for about a week. It was beautiful. That cold shot was the coldest I've ever seen in this area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a better chance we pick up a coating to an inch of snow first with this system. Also temps get well into the 20's overnight Friday into Saturday and it does seem to be juicing up. Never know with a zr. event. Should be interesting. At least it's on the weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst seems to be north again. 26-29 degree zr is also a different ballgame than the 30-32 variety. Even when we think we know what the zr and mixed bag events are gonna do they throw us curveballs.

TSSN+ Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Confused what the nws is looking at for this event here. Lwx and Ctp only show .10-.15” zr on grids with no snow or sleet really and mostly plain rain. I don’t think one model shows much plain rain at all for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 4 minutes ago, stormtracker said: NAM is like...some snow to start then zr? It also still looks remarkably cold through 18Z Sat. Surface freezing line is well south of the DC area, in fact the 30F line is south as well. I have a growing sense that this event might well sneak up on us more than it seems, and be a little more significant as well. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 This is a legit impactful event, I think. People will wake up to it tomorrow. Temps are a little bit on the edge but consistently sub freezing. Daylight hours are one of the things working against it, but I’ve already moved off my Saturday night plans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoCo holds the column until about 3-4pm before the warm nose kicks in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
