cyclone77 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Glazing continues. Moderate again. Still 30.7 degrees. Wish I knew how much precip has fallen. Davis gauge is froze up. Still says 0.00" lol. A few crappy pics shot through the window, so not good quality... http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/266/0127131.jpg/'>http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/37/0127132.jpg/'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natester Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Little cell moving through Cedar Rapids. It's pouring rain with a rumble of thunder and a bit of sleet or hail. It was hail. Only lasted a few seconds but it was WAAY too big to be sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 still nada That's surprising. Some 45 dbz base reflectivity returns just passed over YBY and some 55 dbz returns on composite reflectivity returns are nearing you. It was hail. Only lasted a few seconds but it was WAAY too big to be sleet. 2013-01-27 13.36.25.jpg 2013-01-27 13.36.53.jpg GR signatures were correct then.

Hoosier Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Forecast soundings had been showing the potential for the entire column to drop below freezing with wetbulb cooling so not very surprised by the snow/sleet reports in northern IL. What would be surprising is if it lasts very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 18z NAM looks like it'll be a smidgen colder than the 12z run for YYZ. Judging from upstream reports, it looks like SN was reported across IL/WI even after the mid levels had warmed above freezing thanks to dry air and evaporative cooling. Since the cold air will be deeper here, I'm thinking SN persisting longer is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I would prefer snow from freezing rain, that's for sure. You thinking 2" for the Big Smoke? Same here. I think 2" is good followed by some icing (maybe 0.1" or a bit more). I'd push even harder with the snow but I'm concerned we're going to end up in a bit of a precipitation minima between the llj driven QPF to the south and the frontogenesis to the north.

michsnowfreak Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 12z GEM has very heavy snow in SE MI this evening before switching over.
