am19psu Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 another batch of zr popping up along 95 in MD and DE lifting into Chesco and Delco. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some IP mixed in with the strength of those radar returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phlwx Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Nevermind, it just started dumping here I'm watching 10.2 (248 on Comcast) and they had a reporter at 1/202. Yuck...looked awful. Going to suck when I have to head out in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbs Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 28F moderate/heavy freezing rain. Looks like 1/4 or so of ice accretion. Can confirm that those heavy returns are all liquid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 A solid pack of snow and ice out there Current Wxsim has temps going above 32 for a couple hours late AM and early PM but then unfortunately back below freezing by around 3pm and staying below freezing till tomorrow morning with some additional lite ZR and even some IP by tomorrow morning. Could be a bad evening commute and then another poor commute tomorrow AM Some heavier precip approaching on radar Temp up to 28.4 Wind NNE 3 mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Storm's over. No ice accumulation. Yup. Pretty much dodged a bullet up/out this way. It looked much more ominous last night. Currently, very light freezing drizzle. Not much in the way of ice accumulation though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisNJ Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 All rain here in Eatontown, NJ since I woke up at 0500. Had about 0.5" inch of snow/ice.

Keith O Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Currently 19.4 and sleet, about 3" of snow/sleet on ground. Much colder than I thought it would be at this time, don't think we go above freezing by 10AM as was forecast. How close is the freezng rain to southern Sussex County, NJ? Hard for me to tell from the obs I am seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpantz Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Figuring on another slug of light/moderate precip here in the Lehigh Valley - at least the eastern parts - between now and 10 AM, based on radar trends. There's been a very light freezing drizzle falling here for some time. I'd say the pinging stopped right around 6 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Like the Wxsim was indicating...JB is hitting tonight and tomorrow (Wed) AM rush as a real potential problem "BEFORE THE THURSDAY-FRIDAY STORM, WORRY IN I-95 CORRIDOR TOMORROW MORNING!""Obviously, the icy mess after the snow worry was fine in these areas, but something as sinister lurks tomorrow. There is nothing worse than the "minor" event causing major headaches, and this is a tough one.
