Monday February 5 2018

I hope you saw my report before the Super Bowl because it became obvious that the temperatures were staying cold and the big thaw was not going to happen. Ice build up enough for some trees and power lines to drop and there have been power outages. In addition the road surfaces are colder than the air, which is right around freezing in many areas. The coldest happened to be Anne Arundel County Maryland since they cleared out sooner, but many areas are catching up.

Many area schools have delayed their openings. Please be careful if you have to drive to work. Even if your car thermometer is above 32ºF, there may be bridges and overpasses that are icy.

A push of arctic air is on the move, so in addition to the cooling that took place with some clearing skies, we will all get into an air mass that will drop into the 20s today.

Hourly Temperature Forecast

The big question is where we will thaw in daylight. This may take longer than normal due to the thick ice and widespread reports in the 20s. It’s going to be a COLD DAY!
