RyanDe680 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Clinton is roughly 5 miles away If this does happen it'll probably flood parts of route 10, 48 and 54 which cover the Lane, De Witt and Weldon areas Okay yeah that sounds about right. Been a bit since I was down that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Total of 2.5" of sleet here along with a light glaze. Even though I was complaining earlier about the cold rain, this storm had some interesting aspects that don't make it a total waste. Can recall very few times where I had sleet that flipped to a significant amount of rain (usually has been sleet to light rain, or it flipped the other way -- rain to sleet to snow). The sleet aspect snuck up at the last minute here as it originally looked like the warm layer would be too robust to support anything more than a brief period of sleet. Ran for some groceries and it's such a slushy mess...standing water everywhere. Parking lot actually had several inches of slushy water across the entire lot.

RyanDe680 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Things have subsided here. About 2.5-3" of slush. Complete downpour of rain near the end has really flooded the streets with the sewers being trapped with slush. Driving was terrible with ice and slush and water all over. Shoveling this is horrible as well - very, very heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Estimating about 1/2" of snow down. Impossible to accurately measure with the winds. I can now make footprints in my driveway though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Chitown Storm, how much are you thinking for the MSP area? I'm over in Excelcior, MN. Seems like we are good for a solid 6-8" by tomorrow afternoon but it's been painful waiting on this WAA band to get here. Sent from my iPhone Western metro is going to get the lower end of that total it appears. East and south of there will get 6-10". That band is absolutely crawling north. Ugh.

Geos Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 What's falling outside now is almost like pixie dust snow. It's definitely not sleet anymore and not rain. 5.0" of accumulation as of 5:45pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Power was out for over 2hrs. Went out right as conditions started improving. Picked up a good 1/4" glaze before it got warm enough for the glaze to cease, and most of it already melted off the trees. Probably 1/3" of sleet. Quite a bit of regular rain the last 3hrs or so, but recently changed back to all sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I just drove 40 miles through a 35 degree "tropical storm" lol. Huge drops and heavy sideways rain for more than 30 minutes.
