25 here and whatever is falling is very light but might be freezing rain. I8z 3km NAM keeps us below freezing(other models have been to warm to this point) with pretty significant icing.

This is gonna be one crusty ass glacier tomorrow lol. Water logged snow and sleet

26.6 now and definitely freezing rain. Seems freezing line is at Federalsburg per mesonet see how fast that moves northwest

Same here. Looks like we stay below freezing per guidance and updated forecast from Mount Holly. They are thinking up to a quarter inch of ice...Nam suggests closer to a half, but not sure I by that.

Have been getting absolutely crapped on by freezing rain. Lost what sleet was left about 45m-1hr ago. 29F.

27.5 now, some of the best rates all day with the precip...we shall see if we break the freezing mark, what time was the colder air supposed to filter back in, 8 to 9 pm?

Temp should mostly stall or only very slowly rise once the winds flip NW. Hour or two?

Mount Holly lowered the high temp here to 31, which aligns with guidance, which has the high between 30-32. Been rising fairly quick though the last hour or so. 28 now.

I was just outside cleaning/chiseling off the jeep and put a tarp over the front half. I need to be out early tomorrow morning. I really do hate freezing rain. We will have a glacier that will be around for a month lol.

Temp seems to be holding pretty steady at 29 now.

Yeah took awhile to go from 28.8 to 29.3, I would imagine we go a bit higher, but looks like wind has shifted on the western shore so not much more time before colder air filters back in. Hopefully schools plowed today, tomorrow morning will be interesting. Easton plowed my road around 1230...so I am fully expecting a sheet of ice when I wake up tomorrow.

3Km NAM has a high of 31 before it starts to fall. Its done the best with thermals today.
