    Disappearing ice

    Well yesterday we couldn't walk or drive on our walkways and driveway
    As a matter of fact I busted my arse slipping on ice ! We also had icesicle hanging, this morning I walked out to check my mother in law and it was a whopping 15* and I had no ice any where, I thought it would need to warm up before ice would dissolve

    High winds cause water to evaporate, in both liquid and solid form.

      It sublimes in to the air as water vapor

          Well being a native Texan, I had no idea my last big ice event was in 1989 and I just don't remember the ice self dissipating so rapidly

            Exactly, especially when you have a super dry arctic airmass. Once the precip moved it, it was followed by very dry air that is like a sponge. Check your dew point, I bet it is in the teens.

              Doesn't necessary have to be high winds to melt the ice. Dry air will melt it as well.
