I don’t want to fall and bust my ass like @mappy so I might send out one of the kids. They have softer bones. Yeah I had no clue it was misting, didn’t expect a slick driveway. Total sheet of black ice. So do be careful if you have to go out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we've had the snow climo discussion before ;-) So I guess I am just not right about that. I am not sure why I thought it was similar. Maybe living in Mon County in 2010 and watching DC colored my perception. Yea 2010 was a VERY unusual year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This little high elevation area northeast of Westminster stays cold. I’m regularly 5 degrees colder than Westminster. Often I like to drive around the area after a snow and it’s amazing how much more is on the ground a few days after here v Westminster or other parts of the county. I am on the SE side of Westminster bear Deer Park and Rt. 32...I am about 850 feet....what is your elevation and can you show some type of a map representation of where that height of the ridge is?

The Ole Bucket Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 We've had so much ice in CHO this year that I've almost burned through my first 50-lb bag of rock salt. Freezing drizzle here too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 4 minutes ago, WxUSAF said: At this point is probably not a warm layer, it’s just shallow stratus. Clouds aren’t deep enough to have ice nuclei available for snow crystals. So you get weak precipitation as fzdz.

Kmlwx Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Areas where I shoveled but didn't lay down some sand are REALLY icy. Almost took a spill while testing out a few spots. Elevated surfaces like fencing and plants definitely have a glaze. Still freezing drizzle - radar supports this as well. Looks to continue for a prolonged period as well.

You snow weenies need to head west. In jan of 96 when i lived in CO a group of us road tripped to alta during a storm cycle. 40" in 48 hours when we got there. Snowed all day and we hung out in the parking lot until it got dark. Then they closed the canyon... accidental interlodge. Stayed right in the base lodge. Next day the canyon and mountain were closed so we were stuck doing nothing with another 30" of snow on the ground. Ski patrol said they are doing control work and will try and open some of the mountain. Lifts started running at 11am but the canyon stayed closed until much later. There were literally less than 300 people skiing alta with over 70" of snow in 72 hours... You needed a snorkle. Literally. Amazing. We dropped cliffs everywhere and even if you landed flat on your face you would barely feel it let alone hurt anything. Damn man... those were somes times. I wish I could turn back the clock. Especially after another disaster of a storm here. Lol 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Even though it was sleet, pretty sure this is most white stuff downtown dc has had on ground all year, and now it’s coated in ice. Going to be lots of slips and falls tomorrow am. Very icy out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Pixee Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 30 degrees and all quiet in SE DC...icy snizzle still falling. Stuff's so hard cars don't leave tracks, people don't leave footprints. Plows came through 5 minutes after I took these pics. The scratching and crunching soothed my nerves, knowing they were out there somewhere caring for citizens. We had one radical put out the trash. Everyone else said ++++ it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
