Chicago WX Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Oh my 6" call looks Hideous. Pretty bad call dude. All sleet at the moment, not a flake to been seen. Lousy a** winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Pretty bad call dude. All sleet at the moment, not a flake to been seen. Lousy a** winter. Many snow reports southwest of you. Would think it should very quickly go to snow. When it does it's gonna flat out rip for awhile. PRG was down to 1/8 mile in very heavy snow an hour or so ago.

blue60007 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I should get in the car and drive 15 minutes southwest (blue dot is aprox my hood). sleet.png I'm hoping that 40dbz band to the SW stays all snow. Looks like a quick change over back to sleet after it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fickle Heights Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 This the most sleet I've seen since GHD. Nightmare fuel. It's already pretty slick on my street and sidewalk after 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're screwed. At least there's a few flakes mixing in right now, but they're few and far between. Time is running thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 KLAF reporting light snow at 0054z, with 4 mile vis. Still not a flake here. It's on the westside, so it's possible, as it's happened before where I've see sleet and it's snow on the other side...but the 4 mile vis is a tip off for SNPL mix. Springfield IL almost doubled their season snowfall to date with this storm (was 5.5" heading into today). 0600 PM SNOW SPRINGFIELD 39.78N 89.64W02/21/2013 M5.3 INCH SANGAMON IL OFFICIAL NWS OBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Looks nothing like I anticipated. Figured we would get hit with strong band of WAA snows and then over to freezing drizzle after 2-3 inches. Sure, not looking that way based on radar trends. Would be odd to get our accumulations from deformation band in western iowa . Concern has always been dry air and weakening system. Maybe the moisture will feed back in from the southeast as radar implies slightly. Still, tough to do in weakening storm, but agree its early.

csnavywx Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Got about 6" of snow that consists of 1/2 fluffy and 1/2 salt-like snow, bookended by 1/4-1/3" of sleet/ice mix at the start and an ongoing 1/4" crust of sleet/ice/rimed flakes/needles. Was an absolute nightmare to try and drive on the way home tonight, especially with a new sheen of ice on everything. During the middle of the event we were getting every kind of snowflake imaginable, including lots of needles and fat, rimey aggregates. Very unusual event to be sure. Wierd to see a solid 6" snowcover with the trees iced up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
