Now that the main slug of precip has moved out of here, will be curious to see if this drizzly/light stuff can continue to accrete on certain objects/surfaces given the marginal temps.
-
Scattered power outages starting to roll in in northwest IN. Numbers are pretty small overall but most affected area looks to be in the zone from central/southern Lake and Porter counties.
-
Although there is dripping from the roof, I am not seeing that from the trees and power lines. Granted I am eyeballing out the window at some distance and perhaps a better view would be, well, better.
-
Thankfully it's a federal holiday, right?
-
How far are you from KGYY?
-
Come on Kankakee crew, we want some obs.
-
Surprise stat of the day.
-
Things are glazed over here. I do see dripping off the roof though.
-
This band coming through now has pretty good precip rates. Low quality pic out my window. Can tell it would be no fun walking around.
-
GYY being at 30 that close to the lake shows that precip rates have been sufficient enough to counter the marine influence, at least for now.

-
Yep just enough snow/sleet for a coating here.
-
Primarily freezing rain now. Temp is 30.
-
Will be interesting to see what happens about 5-10 miles south of here as far as ice amounts.
-
Now more sleet than snow in the past few minutes.
-
Have gone over to primarily a snow/sleet mix here.
-
LOT expanded the Ice Storm Warning, and imo, you could argue another tier or two north/east of the current warning may receive Ice Storm Warning criteria amounts.
-
Gonna be a tight one. If you do break above freezing, I don't think it will be in time or by enough to prevent some issues.
-
Down to 12 at DPA. A little unclear on just how far north the more sig ice gets since sleet looks like a player, but we didn't have temps like this in the hours immediately before 12/28/15 or 2/11/19. Untreated surfaces will be a nightmare.
-
Precip rates are always something to consider, but they are probably even more important in the daytime. If your rates are light, I have a hard time believing it would struggle to accrete even at 31-32.
-
Any thoughts on this RC? Fairly cold look for the LOT cwa at 21z.
-
If any daytime marginal temp ice event can work, it's one that is only a week and a half after the solstice. At least you have a morning onset of precip.
-
Strictly in my backyard, this ice setup is at least as good as the one on 2/11-2/12, 2019... imo. Some factors were more favorable in the 2019 event and some look more favorable in this one. We had the massive arctic outbreak about a week and a half prior in 2019, but the immediate lead in (as in just hours before precip onset) is actually colder this time.
-
I was all over it before it was popular.
-
Even ORD, a place that has a hell of a time radiating, has dipped to 20. Would be interesting to do a 00z upper air analysis compared to models to see if this is just a surface temp thing or if the 925 mb layer is running colder than progged.
