cyclone77 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Cold rain has been falling all eve here. Temp hasn't budged from 33 since just after sunset. Existing 2-3" snow cover looks used and abused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Still 4" solid here. Just a hair above freezing now. 33° tomorrow and then down goes the temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Snowpack is getting destroyed here. At least the dirt piles are melting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFF Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Removing piles of snirt from properties this am before the become water logged glaciers. This weather sucks. A few degrees colder and all this would be more snow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few degrees colder and all this would be more snow... That is the worst part. 50s and rain/t-storms are easier for me to take than 33-34 and plain cold rain.

Chicago WX Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Cracked a window open this morning...torching with some -RA. Landscape went from winter to spring overnight. Sad times, but obviously not unexpected. Still better to have received... We'll do it again some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Haven't been outside yet, but judging by the fact I watched my neighbor skate down hr driveway, I am guessing we have a nice glaze of ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitelakeroy Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Well I guess I can hope for a quick 1"+ LES Lake Michigan on the 24th for a possible White Christmas. It has happened before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 We have a minor glaze on the driveway/road, but it appears it is "breaking up". Plain rain here at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Icy here. Just watched a neighbor fish tail their way up their driveway. Yeah, looks like I am right on that magical border temp. I am showing 32.2 right now. I would expect to flip back and forth this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Skating rink here as well. Very thing glaze of ice, but it's very slippery. Still freezing drizzle out there with a temp of 27. The ice sort of sucks, but it's nice to get rid of the 33 and light rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Wow STL up to 67/56. Just had a pretty good burst of freezing rain. The 2" of snow that is left has a thick crust on top now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Thermal ridge is trying to bulge back in here a bit, but not really winning. Have gone up to 28. Still some bursts of freezing rain from time to time. STL now up to 68. Some pockets of sun downstate with those mid 60s. With dews in the mid 50s it's gotta feel pretty springlike down there.

weatherbo Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 pretty respectable snowpack for Christmas. The bottom of my fence is 18-19". snow is getting deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slow poke Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 pretty respectable snowpack for Christmas. The bottom of my fence is 18-19". snow is getting deep. 122013.PNG[/quote Heading up this evening to play in the snow for two weeks. Looking forward to it and leaving all the ice and melting snow crap behind down here. Christmas in northern MI is the best, almost always white with snow to play in. Snow lovers that live south of West Branch n MI are all to use to the snow, rain/rinse repete cycle all winter long. Head north and enjoy all the white gold to get your snow fix. Happy holidays everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Torching here...now up to 56. Gonna be pretty chilly with a lot of rain tomorrow and then a possible brief spike in temps if the low goes far enough west. Very changeable weather.

Geos Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Hit 34° here today, but that's it. Back to freezing rain currently. Most of the ice during the day was visible on trees and shrubs. Ok. I made a map showing where the 6" storms have occurred so far. If anyone from Ontario knows that information on their side of the border, I will put it in.

Windsor got 9.6" with the Dec 14th storm that dropped 8.4" imby and 7.7" at DTW, but not sure how far east the 6"+ totals spanned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 We are now at 32 hours and counting above freezing, after being over 13 days below freezing. Still a full snowpack, but its down to a very very heavy 3" overall (several 4" spots). The snow depth pre-warmup was 8". Really wishing for an ice storm tomorrow night so its not fully washed away but my hopes arent high. The many large snowbanks will remain and with all the water that will be added I suspect it may be a case similar to last March where they will be mountains of rock-hard ice.

There have been several close calls around 5" but nothing officially over 6" on the west side of town where the airport is located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
