I took another photo after dark yesterday of the rime on a dogwood tree. We’re getting some more light snow today.

Last night’s weather system brought a little bit of everything. Here are some rime ice formations left behind in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Rime Formations on Trees

Beech trees hold their leaves during winter and rime ice formed on the leaves.

Last night, we got 5/8ths of an inch of snow and sleet followed by freezing moisture that created some neat rime ice formations. We were below freezing all day. This photo was taken along the Appalachian Trail.

The Capital Weather Gang looks back at this tragic day:

The snowstorm of January 13, 1982 will always be remembered for the terrible crash of Air Florida Flight 90.

The death toll was 78, making it Washington’s second worst weather-related disaster; the 1922 Knickerbocker Snowstorm’s death toll of 98 ranks it number one for weather-related disasters…

Do you remember?
