Still sitting below 32F here in Villanova. No doubt our elevation of about 480ft is helping us remain cold. Ice accural was about 0.2" after a couple inches of snow. Made for some pretty scenes outside, but now w/ the wind picking up, chunks of ice are falling from tree limbs.

Absolutely atrocious conditions here this morning. Rain now, but the glaze we had was one of the worst I've ever seen! Not saying much I suppose, but it still wreaked havoc... none of the roads appeared to be treated or anything.

From what I understand the decision to leave the snow on the roads initially was intentional, you get better traction on crusted snow than a thin sheet of ice on top of bare pavement. I drive 35 miles to Central NJ & based on my experience the roads were fine at 7:00am, now I wish I could say the same about many of the other drivers on the road. :rolleyes:

The low overcast is gonna make it hard for temps to drop much tonight. MOS guidance is holding many places pretty much steady through the night. Along and east of I-95 where temps reached the mid-upper 30s, I tend to doubt WWA's will be necessary.

well lets see if your right, i dropped a degree since you made that comment. but models didnt really pick up on the cold till last second with the last storm. things only need to drop a couple degrees to make the morning commute around 95 tricky.

32.0F the high at home. Drove down to Bethlehem and back. There was ice accrual on everything in the Bethlehem area, then as you drive north on PA 33, the ice diminishes to a small amount from around Stockertown to Wind Gap. Once you go over the mountain to my house north of Wind Gap, ice galore again.

As others have reported just went out and checked the driveway..... it's a sheet of ice again....skies have cleared some this is not good news and temps here in NW Chester County are now at freezing. Would expect temps to bump up a bit at onset of precip but it certainly looks like tough timing for the AM drive
