on_wx Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 -RA picking up in Hamilton. Temps haven't budged since 3pm. Stuck at around 2°C. Seeing tweets of rain/snow mix on the mountain and heavy ice pellets in Brant County. Won't be too long until it starts to precip here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1vek Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Radar trends looking better for Chicago and points north. Dryslot filled in nicely and the pivot has the bands moving more east-west than north south. I have no idea how it is accumulating downtown or in Lincoln Park, but out here in Lincolnshire it has been pretty solid thus far. Somewhat glad my drive home wont be for a few more hours to let traffic clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be too long until it starts to precip here... It's hard to tell from my apartment but I think it's all rain here. Coming down decently too. We might have a few ice pellets mixing in but I'm on lower ground so we'll likely stay a bit warmer for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Snow has let up some here. Snowed quite heavily much of the day. Picked up a little over 4" of very dense cement.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Snow just began here. No rain or mixed precip as far as I could see You're going to get absolutely murdered there. Please take lots of pics. It's definitely going to start as RA or RAPL/SN here. Question is how long does it take to change over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Even if I get my predicted snow total of 3-5 inches here in Dunlap what I will remember about this storm is the mix.

Chicago WX Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Dual pol suggests it may be flipping over to snow in the NW corner of Tippecanoe County. Actual reports of it doing so, just to the north of there. Down a degree to 34/33 at LAF with -RN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
