| Notes: |
On 1/25/2026, at 7:10 am, it was still pitch dark outside my front door in the South Slope of Downtown Asheville. There was illumination from the front door exterior light and from street lights and s shop window across the wide street. The street outside was visibly covered with ca. 2 millimeters of ice on the ground, visually estimated and recognized by the reflection from the lights. A few steps on the sidewalk pretreated with “salt” granules confirmed slipperiness, preventing us from attempting to walk the approximately 40 steps to the rain gauge down the sidewalk sloped in two directions, as the untreated areas had a visibly continuous ice surface. No precipitation was falling at that time. Temperature was approximately 28F and it appeared windstill there. Ice accretion report not submitted, though considered, as I neither had a photo nor an exact measurement to provide, as I had not read the information and instructions ahead of time. |
