BTRWx Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Believe it or not the NAM was the first model to lock into this solution and it was hour 72 and beyond when it did. NAM + cad = W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Believe it or not the NAM was the first model to lock into this solution and it was hour 72 and beyond when it did. yeah it definitely seemed to adopt the idea early. nam is certainly believable (or leanable) on the temp side in these situations but precip is often another matter.

WVclimo Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Up 1.5 degrees last hour. Now 29.6. That rate of increase has been steady the past several hours here, and would get the surface above 32 before the sun starts to decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 30 degrees with a long lull. Top of the car is melting big time. Road in front of my car is melting. Driveway is very VERY slippery, I really enjoyed sliding on it. Sidewalk is very icy. There looks to be a quarter inch of ice on the driveway. Man oh man I LOVED sliding on it!!!!!!! I can only hold out hope that I get more ZR after 4pm. If I don't, well it was fun, on to the massive warming on Tue-Wed. If I do, tonight will be eminently fun, especially with heavy ice on trees then winds from the cold front late tonight. There's a reason why major ice events are rare in eastern Prince William. I really ENVY all you guys who live in far northern and western counties who will get to enjoy the full ice storm with zero mercy and get to have heavy ice on trees and maybe get to enjoy power outages with the winds with the frontal passage later tonight.

PhineasC Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 real deal out this way. temp 28 and frz rain. went for a phineas walk (similar to jeb walk, but with fatter midsection and more cynical mindset). cars encased, sidewalks very hazardous, and side streets very slippery. should be fine once temps get to 31/32 Be careful out there.

SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Warm enough now that more melting than freezing is occurring, if we can stay around 30 after dark things will get slippery again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Very crunchy and crusty out there. Kinda nice, even tho I am not a fan of ice overall. If I am gonna get an ice storm, rather have it in March where its somewhat impotent. Dont believe it will build up on the trees during the day to where it will cause major problems. Kinda pretty at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoshanaz Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Just travelled from Rockville to Baltimore via 495/95/695 Mostly sleet at the start, rain for most of 95. Temps (according to my Prius outdoor temp) were 29 to 32 the whole way. I-95 was mostly clear with slush between lanes. Other roads more slushy, but we didn't encounter any serious ice on treated roads. The car was covered with frozen rain, though. Not pleasant driving overall, Speeds were about 40 mph most of the way, 50 on 695. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Light rain here. Glaze on all roads and sidewalks. Oddly enough, trees and raised surfaces not much of a glaze. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needbiggerboat Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Be careful out there. Worn bedroom slippers and pajama bottoms are not the right equipment for shuffling to the end of a slick driveway! I did have PJ bottoms, although covered by my patagonia climbing pants. wore hiking boots instead of slippers. may need to put the crampons on for next walk outside, at this rate. although dc split seems to be rearing its head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grothar of Herndon Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 28 and steady freezing rain. Roads mainly wet. Parked vehicles and pine trees have most ice on them. Sidewalks a distant 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
