SchaumburgStormer Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Snow is picking up here and it's cooled off a bit. 32.5°. 1.8" of snow. Getting sleet screwed here. Hopefully better returns will cool us off and get us some snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Ground is starting to turn white here with sleet. Still just a bit of rain mixing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Upon further, more detailed inspection of the precipitation- its a majority of sleet. A few snow grains getting spit in here and there. Sleet is coming down pretty good. The accumulation here right now is about .2" of pure sleet. its sticking to the less traveled pavement, ground, and cars. Main roads just look and are wet. Didn't see any evidence of graupel here. There were some bigger chunks of sleet- but they were bits of pure hard ice pellets not soft and mushy like graupel typically is.

hm8 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Despite decent radar returns overhead, there's nothing actually coming down. Sitting at 36* atm. EDIT: I look outside and see no precip, type this out and post it, and then look outside again and stuff is coming down lol. Looks like pixie dust snow/drizzle.

Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'm hoping Environment Canada scores a coup here. I well remember March 2001 when what looked like a non event the night before turned into 20cm for Toronto. I also remember December 9, 2008 when Ottawa ended up with 32cm when the night before they had been calling for it to turn to rain with the temperature forecast up to 45F!

Snohio Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Webcams out of Toledo area show a blanket of snow already down. Snowed very hard for maybe 20 minutes. Starting to pick up again. I would guess we have about half an inch on the ground but I haven't measured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
