on_wx Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Temps are down to 0.9C in Waterloo. First round of rain came through in the last hour when the temps were between 1-1.5C. No freezing rain or freezing on elevated surfaces just yet. Hoping to pull off a semi-decent ice event in KW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elevated surfaces icing up here with a temp of -0.1c. Pavement is mostly wet with some icy patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Moneyman from EasternUSWX, our previous board...on which he was banned for spamming fantasy sports leagues upon members. He lives close to Fon du Lac, WI. wisconsinwx may or may not be related to him. Anyways, 0.28" of rain here in the LAF today. Wet. Ah, man why'd do that? I was drinking a Pepsi when I read this, now it's all over my keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppsRunner Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 It got up to 48 here. Not nearly as impressive as last year, but I find it funny that it will be freezing cold in a couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Martin Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 It got up to 48 here. Not nearly as impressive as last year, but I find it funny that it will be freezing cold in a couple days. I am hearing of a few inches of snow with blowing and drifting here in NW Ohio late this weekend appsrunner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if you're above freezing now, you're likely done with icing. lalalalalala...I can't hear you It hasn't even started. Looks like the dang freezing line runs through Wellington County to Halton Region...and I'm right on its edge at 33F and with 34F in Kitchener. We're talking about only 10 miles or so! Where's the justice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherpsycho Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 And another looks like another .12" in the next hour....close but looks like we'll fall short EDIT: And now another .14"....so we're .01" away? Based on this they almost tied it: 0.31" for the day as of 6:53PM (0.02" away). http://www.crh.noaa....story/KDTW.html I think it could be broken with this batch of showers moving through right now. EDIT: As of 7:53PM DTW got an additional 0.02". Officially it should be tied now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 And another looks like another .12" in the next hour....close but looks like we'll fall short EDIT: And now another .14"....so we're .01" away? .25" has fallen between 4 PM and 7 PM. Before that, .06" fell. So .02" to go for Detroit to TIE its wettest year on record, and .03" to go for 2011 to officially become Detroit's wettest year on record.

Powerball Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 As of the 8PM observation, Detroit did receive an additional .02", so 2011 will tie with 1880 as the wettest years on record. What's very interesting too is for Detroit's previous top 2 wettest years on record, one (1880) was followed by the snowiest winter on record and the other (1881) was followed by the 3rd least snowiest winter on record. In any event, the task now will be getting the additional .01" for 2011 to completely claim the #1 spot. That'll probably come from the light showers upstream.

Stebo Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Officially we broke the record with 47.70" of rain. We received the .01" of precip about 3 hours ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
