Ice Storm in Central Coast, Washington

Ice Storm February 12, 2021 – February 13, 2021 · Central Coast, Washington

What the National Weather Service wrote

During the overnight hours on February 12th, reports from the public began to come in regarding significant (at least 1/4) ice accumulation on many surfaces. Areas from around Ocean Shores to Pacific reportedly received the highest amounts of ice accumulation. Precipitation would then move more inland/to the east during the later morning hours, ending the highest chances for ice.

The wider storm

A significant winter storm impacted all of Western Washington during the overnight period on February 12 and continuing through the morning hours of February 13. While most of the Washington lowlands experienced significant snowfall, the Washington Coast experienced freezing rain and ice accumulation as a layer of warmer air over spread the very cold arctic airmass at the surface. This would prompt the second ice storm warning in Western Washington history.
