WVclimo Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I measured a total of 0.76" of liquid from the 5.7" of snow that fell this a.m. That's a ratio of 7.5:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really looks like significant Ice later west of the 95 corridor. 90% of the total qpf is ice I don't buy it. Shows icing here in nothern Delaware and I can tell you we are already at or above freezing. The rain is dripping off my car. Maybe far far north western areas, but even there, the cold is going bye bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osfan24 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Looks like we are out of the woods here in terms of ice. Drizzling outside and 32 degrees. Went outside and everything is melting and no ice on the paved surfaces. Whether we get any tree ice accumulation remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourseasons Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Went out and scraped off the car in the FRZ. Even with the expected temperature rise overnight it may be a good idea to do so if you haven't already, since at least where I am (near KDCA) it's pretty heavy.

WEATHER53 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 When I shoveled at 3pm the slush on the bottom came up easy. Now it’s icy on the bottom and that not the ground radiating out. 31.8 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 0.78 of liquid at 7 am on 4.1 of snow. An insane 5.3 to 1. Course it snowed here for about an hour before it started sticking, so that skewed the numbers a bit. Today I picked up .5 of sleet and I changed gauges when the rain started....0.20 liquid, that is 2.5 to 1. Crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 mPing report of flooding 10 miles to my south... has just been dumping rain. Would've made a helluva thump or a closer, if things had been a little colder.

NorthArlington101 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I'm stunned there is no FFW. It's raining almost harder than it has been the whole time I've been in Charlottesville, and with the snow there is the addition of runoff issues. 32 and raining cats and dogs. 50+ dbz returns to my W and S.

wolfpackwxDC Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Flirting with 32 here - 31.5 now. Pavement that was cleared, salted, etc is just fine but the areas that were not touched by plows on the neighborhood streets are starting to ice up real good. Just played musical cars to get my car ready to leave first for work tomorrow and my wife's small SUV basically sat on top of the sheet of ice covered snow when I moved it to the street.
