ORH_wxman Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 27 and steady ZR. Everything glazed pretty good. But I think we should avoid major issues with qpf staying relatively modest...and while it's cold now, we're ticking up and during daylight hours it does help mitigate some of the accretion.

CoastalWx Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I know the interior laughs, but this may be the most ice I will see since 1995. Usually it's just minor glazes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HimoorWx Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Up to 28 in Randolph after a low of 26. Everything has a coating of ice. Walked out back onto the patio to feed the birds, and could have used skates.Sent from my SM-T713 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night does not differentiate between the big dogs. It can merely help, but it's pretty minor this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 Very weak sauce for those hoping for anything more than eye-candy on the trees. 25.6*, expect I'll be raining before 1:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 29° -FZRA. Actually not too bad out. There is a glaze on everything but roads ok and no tree limb sag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkO Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 31 minutes ago, wxeyeNH said: Same here. Rose 4F past hour to 27F. Light freezing rain. Decided to stay another day up north. It was still accumulating last night when I went to bed around midnight. I "think" is was about 18 deg. Currently 24.6F and we've got a glaze on top of the 8-9" that fell yesterday. Davis in Lowell says it's 26.2F. Appears it's going to be a decent glaze down there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ice accretion is slower during the day with solar insolation, today being about the shortest day of the year might help in that regard. Sun angle is lower than about any other ice storm day...

That's probably less a case of cold being scoured out than me just being colder at the onset. I bet I'll pass you in the race to freezing. 25.8* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun angle is lower than about any other ice storm day... Clear sky solar is so low this time of year and when combined with thick overcast I doubt it has much of an effect on inhibiting icing unless you’re on the cold side of 32F.
