stormtrackertf Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Getting dry slotted west of Detroit here right now. Was almost entirely straight sleet with some freezing drizzle mixed in before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wttnwx Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Back to the heaviest snow of the event so far, reduced visibility. All snow. 60/40 Snow vs Sleet in 53066 in SE WI. Accumulating on all surfaces, grass blades still visible. I've had nothing but snow from the start. 2 miles south of Watertown. ~1" so far.

Geos Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Came down pretty good while under 30 dbz. Tried to capture the size of the flakes with a few pics. Wind is keeping the car nice and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 first winterstorm of the sub that I'm not jealous to be missing...

cyclone77 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 It's a good thing the temp is slowly warming, as it's about to start getting pretty bad. Trees are accumulating a nice amount of glaze now, and the winds are very intense. Getting consistent gusts well over 40, possibly pushing 50 at times. Temp is up to 31.6. Should be above freezing in an hour or two. Good thing the temps didn't start a degree or two colder, or this really would have been a serious ice storm.

Geos Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 At times it's 50% sleet, 50% snow, others it's almost all sleet. 29° currently. People w/o 4 wheel drive or AWD are fish tailing up the hill on my street. Slick~ Low making tracks towards STL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Mainly been sleet here. About an inch of sleet with a light glaze near a tenth of an inch. Sleet has been torrential at times...gave me flashbacks to LAF in 2011. Would've been in trouble if this would've mainly been freezing rain up to now.

indeedinger Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Just drove from Lake Geneva, WI to Independence, IA. Left about 6:45am - got home around 11:00. Perfect weather would be a 3 1/2 hour trip, so a little delayec but not terrible. Hit sleet/pellets in Beloit about 7:15, then alternated between light snow, sleet, and freezing junk until past Dubuque. Mostly snow the rest of the way. Roads not really bad until the last 30 miles. Snow w/mixed sleet here - appears to be at least 3 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Think it might be trying to poke above freezing here. Was just outside and not really getting dripping of the icicles that have formed but the glazed objects seem to be getting more watery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Not a drop of freezing rain yet in Howell. All snow and sleet. With the huge hole in radar, we might not see anything for hours. The advisory is looking good right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
