Chicago WX Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 But yes going back to the original idea, the snow/sleet pack is dense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMIweather Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Radar filling in nicely here. TwisterData soundings suggest we could change over to snow within the hour. I'm about to go take more OBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeenerWx Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 That wretched RUC keeps throwing me closer and closer to a dry slot. Not liking it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 6z RUC... I would happily take that. And with that image in my head I'm going to call it a night so I can rest up for the all nighter tomorrow. For those under the gun tonight, enjoy!

cyclone77 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I keep telling myself that's it I'm going to bed, and then think of something else to look at lol. I'll be gone all day tomorrow until at least 5 or 6, but should be here all night tomorrow night. Won't have to go to bed early cause there's no way I'll be able to make it to work Wed morning anyway. Good luck everyone and see you guys tomorrow night.

Hoosier Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 The Chicago guys will know this but Chicago has only had 2 storms greater than 20" at whatever the official site was. If there's at least 20" at ORD, this would be the 3rd and considering climo, it would be pretty impressive to "only" have to wait 12 years between such events.

B-Rent Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Well I made it home from work. I cant tell how much but we have a ton of sleet with a nice coating of ice on top of it. Have a glaze on all surfaces also. Probably .15-.25in of ice so far. Waiting to see how tomorrow goes. This is a situation where you dont believe it going to be as bad as they say, and you wont know until its occuring. Ive never encountered a big ice storm...So im in the wait and see mode here 20 miles N of IND. 2004 was a doozy. I was staying at a friends house while the collge was on winter break.... he gave me his garage door opener as a key. Guess what? Power went out. I had no place to stay for 4 nights.

dilly84 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 It's absolutely hammering the zr over here.. I've got to be close to .25 already.. Everything outside is a glaze of ice.. Hopefully we can stay full zr tomorrow since there isn't a chance of snow. Might as well make it a night to remember.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMIweather Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Best way to describe Norman right now is 2/3rds snow and 1/3rd ice pellets. Here are two current images of Lindsey Street, the main road that bisects the OU campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilly84 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 35-40 dbz.. it's definitely accumulating quickly. Looks like it may wanna change over to snow for a bit according to radar, but I'm doubtful it does.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 6z NAM brings the dreaded 3C aloft through LAF...still a lot of cold in the lowest 100 mb but this run is definitely gonna bump or expand the zr potential north compared to 00z.

ukrocks Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 6z NAM brings the dreaded 3C aloft through LAF...still a lot of cold in the lowest 100 mb but this run is definitely gonna bump or expand the zr potential north compared to 00z. That doesn't shock me, because my high was supposed to only be in the mid 50's but it's already 55 here. Warm air might be coming north quicker than expected? It's certainly good for the northern part of the PAH CWA because this will cause there ice accumulation to be lower. Wonder if this will affect the folks that are just near the freezing rain.
