cyclone77 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 If temps at the surface were just a bit colder this would have been a decent icing event along the I-80 corridor from Iowa into Illinois. This cold rain kind of sucks, but it beats sleet lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Cedar Rapids reporting Light Snow.. Hawkeye might be able to squeeze out an inch.. Yeah hopefully he'll do good with that second surge of precip early tomorrow. That's the one that should give Des Moines several inches. Big cold rain drops falling right now here. I'm guessing these are from the melting of very large flakes aloft. Sure wish DVN had the dual-pol upgrade right now. They're slated for late March.

hawkeye_wx Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Cedar Rapids reporting Light Snow.. Hawkeye might be able to squeeze out an inch.. Got about 0.15" of rain this evening, but haven't gotten much recently as the band shifted south. I haven't seen any flakes. Maybe tomorrow morning.

Maybe tomorrow morning. Could get interesting for a short time up in your neck of the woods. Hoping we can squeak in at least a short period of snow, whether it accumulates or not. This system is a cruel tease for northern Illinois and points north and east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Posted this in the Feb discussion: we're about 80/20 RN/SN right now. I wonder if the higher returns on KLOT from Yorkville to Merrillvile is bright-banding from sleet, or just enhanced precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 0.3" fell in MBY before turning to a rain/snow mix here, while just to my north (FWA), it looks like 2"-4", thus further widening the gap between FWA's official snowfall total and mine. It's amazing what a difference 20 miles can make sometimes. I can understand this in the LES belts, but this has been mostly synoptically induced.

GordoFabulous Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Muncie saw a pretty good band of sleet come through last night around 4am (+/- the effects of beer-induced time dilation). Whatever landed on the ground melted almost immediately, but there was enough to coat the cars for a while before it turned back to all rain.
