RU848789 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 With it being past 10 am (indirect sunlight), I doubt there will be much impact on any well traveled road. Local streets, driveways and sidewalks, however, could be impacted in areas in the far NW suburbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 HRRR insists that this event lasts 1-2 hours at the very most. Wonder if we get some rumbles of thunder with the dynamics moving northward. My gut tells me that will stay south of Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 My guess would be a winter weather advisory.. Well I'm asking because winter weather advisory criteria is for 2" or more of snow and or a trace or more of ice accretion. Not sure either one of them has been met here.

chietanen Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 What type of an advisory were you looking for? We've had 3 hours, at least in my area, of moderate to occasionally heavy rain, sleet, and snow with surface temps in the 20's. To me that would justify a short fused winter or freezing rain advisory. But almost the entire Albany county warning area seems to have had mostly snow from this, so maybe that's why they didn't issue one. Here's a pic from a short while ago, the roads are a mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongBeachSurfFreak Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Upton should issue a flood advisory here. While rates may be just shy the melting and lack of drainage is causing road flooding here currently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
