[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was concerned about the possibility of power outages due to freezing rain bringing down tree limbs and power lines. But as of right now (knock on wood), any changeover from snow to mixed precip seems like it would be sleet for us rather than freezing rain. Sleet bounces off trees and power lines and doesn’t accumulate on them like ice/freezing rain does. The models and maps are having a hard time differentiating between sleet vs. freezing rain. Freezing rain seems to be more of a concern right now on the eastern shore as well as south and west toward Richmond and other points much further west like in Tennessee and Arkansas and such. Snow changeover to sleet would lessen our snow totals though but we will still get a lot of snow before the changeover happens. [/quote]
Don’t we usually get sleet around here because we hover around the freezing point during winter events? Will the impacts of sleet be different because the temperatures will be in the teens?[/quote]
