PWS in my neighborhood has barely recorded any precip all day which suggests to me it’s still iced up. Temp is recording 32.9 and it tends to run slightly warm I’ve noticed.

I was just going to ask this same question. I have a PWS and while there has been steady rain there is no accumulation recorded.

After a slow but Icy start, ice is really starting to build up in Clarksburg. Temp has jumped from 29.7°F to 29.8°F in the last six hours.  I am in DC so the only pic I have is from the local traffic camera:

Temp up to 30.1F.  Pic from home:

Frederick County west of US 15 really got a solid ice storm...multiple roads closed due to large trees down on them.  Several calls for transformers partially off the poles too. Saw a report from Thurmont of M0.5" ZR from an NWS employee.  One of these days they're going to have to split Frederick County into 2 forecast zones (east/west of US 15) because the weather is so remarkably different, IMO.

...Adverse Effects from the Ice Storm...

Ice accumulations around one quarter to one half inch occurred
across these areas. Gusty northwest winds are expected to develop 
behind a cold front between 4 and 7 pm this afternoon into this
evening. Gusts around 30 to 40 mph are expected through most of 
tonight. The strong winds combined with ice on trees and power 
lines may cause large tree limbs to fall...possibly leading to 
scattered power outages across the area. Temperatures will 
rapidly fall behind the cold front as well and this may cause any 
wet surfaces to re-freeze. Please use extra caution if travelling
tonight.

I am just East of 15 off of 340, Ballenger Creek Area W of 270 S of 70. We got a lot more here than I though we were supposed to get. The Frederick Scanner page is busy this afternoon. Close to 1700+ power outages in Frederick Co. alone. Currently have about .3 inch of ice on the trees and sitting at 32 deg. The winds tonight should be interesting.
