I don’t care I the trees are getting a little ice or the railing lol I agree, but if it's raining and the temperature is below freezing it's still considered freezing rain lol. Just because it's not glazing all surfaces doesn't change that. It can snow and not accumulate. That doesn't mean it's not snowing lol. The original reason for my comment was to say that I think some people think freezing rain means literally frozen rain, like ice pellets, which is just not true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve25 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 A lot of regular folks not in the weather field act like weather should be black and white. It's either this or it's that. The reality is that weather is complicated. Things can melt when it's below freezing. Snow can fall but not accumulate. It can snow with temperatures above freezing. Those types of things aren't logical to the basic thinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notvirga! Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 When I was in Westminster an hour ago the cloud cover wasn't as heavy even though it was snowing moderately and the temp rose to 31; snow was accumulating on snow only. Back in Owings Mills now and cloud cover is actually heavier and here and at least for the moment it's a little colder, at 30. Roads are worse here too (secondaries). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol YET! Yeah it's strange how we've been in a bit of a Grand Canyon with these past couple storms. Screw zone north, jackpot south (and now vice-versa). Let's see if things change around if next week materializes! IF it does...I think we'll be happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't mean to be negative but a 2-4" event isn't really payback for missing out on 8-12". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
