BethesdaWX Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'd think that even if temps do rise to 32-33, the surface should obviously still be below freezing,so further icing could occur on trees at 32-33..maybe road conditions improve tho...and thats all that matter sreally in terms of morning commute. Risen to 29.3 now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 An even 30 now for me...this thread is dead btw...I guess no one cares anymore. Some people (read: most) have to get up in 4-5 hours. Granted, I only got 4 hours of sleep today, but the point remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 True..30.2 here. Mine says 29.4.. but Bannockbun, 2-3 miles away, has 31. Not good for winterwx lovers like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Road is HORRIBLE here and we got salted around 9:45pm and are on a dead end road. Got some pics that I'll put on my website (see sig). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I just thought there would be a little more action in here I mean shoot, theres usualy more action this time at night in a EURO discussion thread about a storm 180 hours out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 29.5, this is getting very bad very quick now, looks like over 0.15" ice accum, could reach a quarter inch or more at this rate in 2 hrs if temps can hold for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Can Bannockburn ES really be over 1 degree warmer than me? One of our stations may be a bit off,I certainly hope its not mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting..thanks...holding steady at 30.2 here for the time being probably because getting some lighter radar returns, meanwhile BWI is now up to 30.

Apparently it can happen, the one station im looking at is 30.2 while Martin St airport is 32, only separated by about 5 miles or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well even if it doesnt, you have received a nice little ice storm..Its probably best if things warm up and get better for the morning commute, that way maybe we wont be dealing with mass accidents.

BaltimoreWxGuy Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Thats quite the dryslot out east... Yeah, also precip is scooting off fairly swiftly Northeast...we may be done with the majority of precip by 6 AM...if its cold enough might still have freezing drizzle though.

caviman2201 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Sitting in the dry slot on the Eastern Shore right now... temp is 32 even... not too sad about the warm-up/dry slot because its less scraping I have to do in the morning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 How much Ice do you have? I imagine you'd be approaching 0.1" at the least... Yep...30 Sharp.. thats 1 degree in 30min Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No arguments there! It's getting bad here - attached a dark picture but it still gets the point across. Sheet of ice on my road here...not slush...SOLID ice.

Honestly I have not been outside but your probably about right...And looking at the pic yeah that does look pretty solid, you can see the glare.

I would still say that a lot of the schools west of 95 will probably call it quits for tomorrow if we can't get to freezing by say 5:30am. Ice doesn't spontaneously melt it'll still be around even after we rise above. This has been a decent storm - exciting too - not often we get good icing events here. and power here has NOT even flickered. PEPCO sure seems to have improved.

Chase Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Mid 20s at all the reporting stations around, except SHD. Snow in the early evening, to moderate freezing rain about 10. Freezing drizzle still ongoing. The roads are covered, but they were salted very heavily prior, so I'm not sure how much is sticking in the travel lanes.

Kmlwx Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The two Weatherbug stations nearest to me are both aroudn 28.2-28.6 so still a decent ways below freezing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll probably slow I mean I don't think anybody was expecting them to rocket upwards. Slow climb through sunrise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has deff slowed a bit for me, Balt martin airport has been holding steady at 32 for the last hour or two, I still think its kinda due to lighter precip returns over this way though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
