re: Louisiana Ice Storm Thread *Winter Storm Warning*

This is probably wrong but I think as long as the wind is blowing it won’t freeze
Probably an old wives tale

I mean if it stays above 32 it won’t freeze obviously and it’s not supposed to get below that which would mean no freezing.

every surface would have to stay above that. Just from looking outside, I can see that ice on my roof is melting and dripping. Across the pond, the trees that had defrosted when the sun was out are turning white again from refreezing.

The temperature hanging around the freezing point isn't ideal. Need it to bump up several more degrees to be safe. If the atmospheric temperature is higher, then the rain will be warmer and help to continue to raise the temps enough to prevent further freezing.

Finally seeing some drips from ice in the trees in S BR

What a mess on top of what was already a mess.

Good riddance to winter 2021. Looks like a few more days then back to Spring in about 8 days.

Went from light sleet to absolutely pissing freezing rain so my butthole is on the tight side

holding at 28 degrees at AEX and .11" of rain has fallen in the last hour

part of a carport awning collapsed on a house across the street from my complex

not a good day for those people... looks like there is a car under it

Hey baws. Scheduled for LASIK in BR this afternoon. If I left New Orleans at 1:30, could I take I10 the whole way? Says it’ll be low 40’s and thunderstorms the entire way. Will all the bridges along I10 be iced over?

It's in the 40s from Nola to near the EBR line so you shouldn't have any problem getting to that point.

Hwy 71 all the way from 190 to Alec is open. Frozen but open.
