Hoosier Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 No report from LAF yet, but a rain gauge at Purdue has reported 0.24" already. 12z NAM QPF might be going down. Yeah, I think convection being involved is probably going to enable us to come in on the high side. This early stuff helps. Nice changeable day on tap tomorrow. Start off in the 60s and maybe a little snow by late afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luftfeuchtigkeit Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 50 degrees, fog, heavy rain, few rumbles of thunder. The slushpack in my yard is getting torched right before my eyes. Looks like late March out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Lol^ Got a lake breeze pushing in! Down in the upper 40s in Kenosha. 60s are about to be extinguished by incoming rain and the breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 weenie vision Yeah, I had glanced at the radar and was excited about the cell I saw coming towards my house... Then I remembered that LOT radar is on roids at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 This rain has also slowed our temp rise though I would still lean toward slowly rising temps. Been bouncing between 57 and 59. But yeah, we'll get to 60 or more eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Temperature is still below freezing at my place. Has been all day. Few degrees above here. That's a fairly tight gradient. Have you been accruing ice or have the showers been missing you to the south? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been accruing ice or have the showers been missing you to the south? Yes, we've been accruing ice. Ice has built up on some of the tree branches. There wasa period of steady freezing rain around 11am this morning, with a temperature of about -1C (31F). Sidewalks have been icy all day. Temperature is still -0.4C (31.2 F) at my palce at McCowan and Steeles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 High 62° here today, but now the cool off starts. 0.55" of rain so far. Probably pick up an inch at least between now and midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The warmth of earlier is a distant memory. Down to 44 with steady stratiform rain. 0.62". Probably pick up close to another half inch, but nothing like the 2-3" models had previously advertised for here. Less rain, but perhaps more snow.

michsnowfreak Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 57F today at DTW missed the record by 1F, tomorrow we will smash the old record (it is unusually low at 53F), then Thursday we will be colder than normal. Icy dirty plow piles of snow remain in parking lots, but thats it. The ones at my work are actually rock hard from so much water content will be interesting to see how many survive lol. Also heard some thunder earlier. Lots of little shortwaves the coming week, flakes a sure bet...accums a bit more uncertain. Much like last time when our beautiful snowcover was torched away only to get cold again....I will settle for white again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
