CAPE Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Best guess is about 0.20" of ice so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhotoGuy Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Just ponding/slush on the roadways. Decent amount of ice on the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourseasons Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Arrived from Hampton Roads a little under an hour ago. Drove through freezing rain all the way, with a bit of sleet added in between Richmond and Fredericksburg. Roads were wet and the only slowdowns were to gaze at the occasional car that had spun out. The rain was occasionally heavy south of Fredericksburg and combined with the road spray made for some reduced visibilities. The front of my car and mirrors are coated with a good layer of ice. But I can't complain, because I made it back here safely in about 3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Anyone in northern Carroll getting sleet still or has it changed to freezing rain? It's mostly rain here, some sleet still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wawarriors4 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Sitting at 30.2 in Spotsylvania with mist.....the mist is icing up on everything much more than the actual rain drops that' we have had Edit: have about 0.2" of ice on trees, cars, bushes......very little slush on roads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 29.8. Rain is steady enough that the tipping bucket is working. Not cold enough to freeze the big drops. How are you a whole 1F warmer than me? I still think this ice is fairly meh-worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOfClimatology Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 How are you a whole 1F warmer than me? I still think this ice is fairly meh-worthy. Same temp here, 29.8/28. Probably elevation related, I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 How are you a whole 1F warmer than me? I still think this ice is fairly meh-worthy. Has moved to the upside a bit more in the last hour. Agree on the meh-ness. Without much on the trees it just doesn't seem much like an ice storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. August Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 This event is terrible. The ice isn't even doing much. .3" of snow... Great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 DCA up to 32. About 30 here probably. I think we've peak iced other than potential refreeze tho the whole area might warm slowly into the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 This event is terrible. The ice isn't even doing much. .3" of snow... Great. Its icey and crusty here. I am enjoying it. Pretty harmless overall. Not seeing puddles anywhere other than the roads. And snow....lol who was expecting snow with this event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 This event is terrible. The ice isn't even doing much. .3" of snow... Great.Pretty good amount of ice here. Pine tree in the yard looks like it's ready to break. Temp up to 31 now. Won't be much longer until it goes to non-freezing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Random Chaos Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Just measured the ice at 3 points I could get to without falling flat on my face: 0.1" on vegetation 0.2 to 0.25+" on deck and other larger objects. Hard to tell for sure. Likely higher totals because sleet melded with the ice on these surfaces. Also, I see a lot dripping off from the rate of rainfall. My tipping bucket has now measured 0.18" rain, but no clue how accurate it is and whether there is an ice coating on the buckets themselves. Temperature is still 29.5F and the sun angle has dropped to the point I probably won't warm any more from radiative heating. I wonder if I will break 30 before the storm ends.

WVclimo Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Temp rise leveled off the last 90 minutes here. 30.6 with a mix of freezing rain and sleet. Snow from this morning is very crunchy now. A glaze has formed on cleared sidewalks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 27.3F in Clarksburg. Looks like between 0.1" and 0.2" on the trees and the pines are starting to sag. Icicles are approaching 5". Edited to add: winds have gone completely calm for the last 40 minutes. I thought the anemometer had frozen but went out and looked. It's still spinning freely. Temp looks to be dropping as well (down a full degree from the high today to 26.9F) now that the declination of the sun is low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOfClimatology Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Pine trees starting to look like willows with needles on them, I'm enjoying this. Temperature holding here, 29.7/28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnis Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 27.4 here with steady rain. Ice beginning to build on trees...my driveway is an ice rink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Well, our front walk and driveway are basically impassible. I walked in the snow to get to the street. Places that have been driven on are fine. A little slick towards the sides. Water is running in the gutter. 29.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GramaxRefugee Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 The bird feeder always has the best icicles, so... Gonna try to insert photo (been awhile...lessee here) eta: Guess it worked. Aint they cute little fellas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vastateofmind Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Holding at 31 for past two hours. Accretion between .1" and .2"? It varies, depending on surface, and it's hard to get a decent pic right now without a too-light background. Most mature trees starting to like this around my house, pine trees getting especially droopy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peribonca Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 really treacherous on the sidewalks in Petworth/Cohi and some on the side streets are very slick. Icicles covering all the car. 30F. Overperforming ice here so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 It's pretty legit here at this point. Roads still ok but sidewalks are close to impassable if they aren't salted. Places that don't warm might see considerable disimprovement as the sun sets at least in less traveled spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
