ajreich Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 We’re hovering around 24/25 degrees with a solid .3” of ice. Given temp is well behind models, looks like a mess of a morning at least. South winds just never really materialized - winds continue out of the east predominantly. No AFD yet, so looks like PQR are scratching their heads about what to do. 2 Quote Location 850’ NW Hills in Portland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerfylicious Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 I had to leave my car at the top of my driveway blocking the sidewalk. 1 inch of ice on a 5% grade is a recipe for my car to go through my living room window. Yikes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It rained lightly for most of the night, but it seems to have just iced up on what's left of the snow. School is on a 2 hour delay though cause side roads out here are still garbage.

We are done with the freezing temps for the foreseeable future. That will make it at least a bit more tolerable for those without power. Looking forward to some fifty burgers.

Andstorm Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 I know this is a washington-heavy forum but does anyone have thoughts on situation in Portland and the return of offshore Thursday. Most forecasts are calling for a cold rain with temps in the mid to high 30s. GFS continues to show temps below freezing and more ice accumulation thursday afternoon/night. It looks reasonably borderline. Temps have been slower to warm this morning. my concern is that if we only make it to the mid 30s today, it’s not going to take very much additional cold air to create problems. But forecasters still seem confident portland makes it into 40s today. Would love any input. Sitting at 28 right now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Defense Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Sitting at 30 degrees and about 2" of frozen precip. After the snow I reported last night, it switched to freezing rain, so we have a nice base of ice under all of this. It is currently some sort of snow/sleet mix that we are getting, probably 70% snow, 30% sleet. 3 Quote Britton Rd Bellingham Weather Station: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KWABELLI103?cm_ven=localwx_pwsdash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
