You all can party while I sit in the dark without power, and .5” of ice outside.
I’m concerned for this one down here. Too soon to a few days ago for it to happen again.
No, which is why I somewhat rescind that comment, I cannot see any soundings so I’m not sure what the precip would be. I don’t think RGEM has Ice maps either, but I’ll check other places...
Currently 39° with the WSWatch.
You all are lucky... you get to see snow, and I have to wait down here in Richmond for probably 1”... I’ll still take it, but wish I didn’t have to wait.
Would precipitation here be freezing rain? How shallow should the freezing air near the surface be in order to make sleet / freezing rain?
I understand for sleet the freezing air should be deeper near the surface, I just don’t know generally how much.
Is ice seeming like the more prominent thing with this next one than snow? I kind of get that feeling, but can’t really tell. 12z Euro was on the snowy side.
Looking icy for down here. This is going to be the one that knocks the power out... Or, the GFS is too warm and we get snow... Hopefully the latter. I want to go look at past ice storms that have happened in the area.
