stormy Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago The huge question this morning is, how much warming aloft on Sunday. The EURO is off the wall with possibilities for Augusta County. The Euro deterministic gives me 9.8" of snow, .89" of freezing rain and 1.5" of sleet. I simply don't believe that as it has no support with upper level thermals from the EPS, AI or AI ens. The AI ens. gives me 15.7" of snow with 850 temperatures at least 5 degrees colder... .89" freezing rain is hugely inflated over all other models that indicate zr amounts. 12z will be interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickinBaltimore Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago So, explain to this dum-dum lollipop here, how would we have freezing rain if ground temps are around 20? I understand warm air aloft and all, but wouldn't it still just become sleet at that point? In other words, how the heck do we get that much freezing rain in the teens/low 20s?

The solar light on top was an addition this year. Good for seeing depth at night from the window. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago With the watches going up overnight it hit me this morning that this is the first real biting storm with both of the girls not here. One in Southern PA on campus and the other in DC off campus. My mom mind kicked in and have been talking with both of them this morning about what to have on hand. Rightfully so the DC kid brought up the possibility of loosing power. And for that matter I also told the PA kid that could be a possibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTy Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Got a solid 9hrs of sleep last night. Woke up, ingested some coffee and am ready to track again. Model trends this morning look good. I'm leaving for DCL this evening with plans to drive back down from there to Calvert early Sunday morning. I have a colonoscopy scheduled for Tuesday morning but that may end up getting canceled.

Driving in this area with 1 to 2 inch per hour snow rates is taking your life in your hands lol. I don't trust anyone around here in snow to drive safely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freezing rain can definitely happen at those temps, but you need a crazy strong and shallow inversion aloft (I.e., very warm air just above the surface). We’ll see on Saturday what soundings look like. I think our area will mostly mix wirh sleet and maybe go to freezing drizzle at the end (which often happens as storms wind down and dry air starts moving in aloft). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1994 we had a devastating ice storm with 2 inches of solid ice. At times, we had moderate rain and 18 degrees! It was due to the cold layer being shallow enough for the rain to reach the ground as liquid despite such low surface temps. I this upcoming storm, hopefully the cold layer is thick enough to freeze the raindrops into sleet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
