cyclone77 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Yeah, coming down well. Small flakes though. Hoping that area of higher returns between dixon and amboy tracks overhead You're gonna like that band. Good rippage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I just measured 0.2" of sl**t on my snowboard. It has now changed over to snow, with a little ip still mixing in. Yay! I might get some actual snow accumulations yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 You're gonna like that band. Good rippage. It's tracking well. DKB and points slight NE will be in line for some good rippage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Banding going to be fairly anti-climatic here. It's surging northward now this way (and wasted half of its residence on saturation). Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I wanted to get a few shots before it started to melt off here. Nothing too exciting, but the parking lot here is a little dicey. I do remember now why I despise winter 2008-09 so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Seems like the warm nose was slightly underestimated on earlier modeling around here. Not majorly but just enough to tip it from mainly sleet to freezing rain with sleet mixed in. Kudos to blue...he was on top of that...I should've known better as that's not an infrequent occurrence. If the HRRR is on the right track, it's mainly freezing rain (assuming temps don't warm above freezing) with perhaps a bit of sleet until around 11 PM or just after, and then a change to sleet before ending as snow.

WAA probably under-estimated by the models 9/10 times. Still, sort of an interesting event in that we did all of this with S/SW/SSW winds the whole time. As you stated before, not the usual or ideal wind direction in an icing event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Banding going to be fairly anti-climatic here. It's surging northward now this way (and wasted half of its residence on saturation). Oh well... I will say (being on the southern edge of the band) it's still spitting snow at a pretty modest clip. The flake size isn't impressive though. Have a couple tenths of a inch so far.

The warm layer seems like it was underdone by maybe 0.5 to 1C, but every little bit matters. Also, even though max temps are not that warm in the warm layer, it seems fairly thick and it's just not cold enough below to refreeze all of this into sleet.

cyclone77 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 2.1" here with some light snow still floating down. Real nice refresher. The snow pack has a nice glint to it again. Now about 6" on the ground after the original 6-7" from a few days ago had settled back to around 4". Went on a mini jeb walk a bit ago to drop off some mail at the post office drop box. Was pretty nice with the fresh snow, and flakes still floating down all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is painful, especially as the person advocating for this event. yeah my "fear" last night (with regard to original call) was the "rippin" band would set up from Peru to Mt. Prospect....although I didn't expect it to be in quite the transitory state that it is in currently.... that being said...we should have a solid mini-thump as the line works through our areas.... still sitting at just over half an inch here as light snow continues...trees are getting a nice fresh coat after everything had been blown off the other day...
