Stebo Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Well this is an interesting wake up, I was expecting it to be raining right now as we got the shaft. However it is sleeting with snow mixing in and about 5 degrees colder than what we were expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimChgo9 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 It has now dropped to 31. Still a pretty fine snow at the moment. Flakes are getting a bit bigger, but nothing is sticking yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Our main snow was going to be with the deformation band. I believe this is still WAA wing snow. Be patient. Rain/snow line creeping north. Temps questionable. I think I might be safe but the metro area. Idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Well this is an interesting wake up, I was expecting it to be raining right now as we got the shaft. However it is sleeting with snow mixing in and about 5 degrees colder than what we were expecting. 850's have actually cooled to below freezing here from +1C earlier this morning. Could be affecting p-type. We've also been running a degree or two cooler here as well at the surface. True nowcasting event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I had a mix 1.5 hours ago of IP and rain but changed over to an odd type of snow. Around noon the rates of pure snow started picking up but has since slackened to nothing at all. TWN showed me recieving 30 cm of snow or more...I don't think so and would be surprised if we got over 20 cm. There would have to be a spectacular period later on for me to even give this one credit, I think its going to suck (because the low started weakening already 3+ hours ago (radar gave the hint)) and I'm taking a big nap to snooze through this mess. Use imgur and post the link here. I'd like to see what's going on down there (or anywhere really). It doesn't work, nothing I try will post the image within the post - just the URL appears. I posted in the Help section an example of it and no one has responded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 You'll be fine. Radar returns still heading north in north central IN. Southern Porter/northern Jasper looks like a good area to be... been sitting under 30-35+ dbz for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btcs31 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Fantastic out here. Wind is blowing a lot of the snow. Shoveled a path out the door and within minutes it had a thin cover of snow again. Visibility is prob under 1/4mi with occasional whiteouts. Roads are in rough shape and will only get worse.

Stebo Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Rain mixing in now here, need the low to start moving east some and get the cold air moving back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I changed back over to freezing drizzle 18 mins ago and now its nothing again...all the while sitting under moderate dbz returns. There was a nice heavy band coming north towards me that had 46 dbz returns that just vaporized as it got to me... Clouds moving rapidly. EDIT: I can hear the birds chirping outside during this so called winter storm, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vortex Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Snow is blowing around more than I thought it would have considering we are near freezing. I was thinking the same thing here. 4 inch report from Grant Park in northeast Kankakee County. Don't know how accurate that is. Snow having hard time accumulating on the roads around here.

The amount of blowing seems like it's helping the tree/powerline situation some...trees are plastered to some degree but it's not that heavy caked look on every single branch.

Snow having hard time accumulating on the roads around here. Radar estimated precip over .5" there, so it's probably accurate. I'm over 3" and they had better returns down there earlier.

Chargers09 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Rn/Sn line basically draped across Detroit according to Obs. Draw a line from Adrian to Ypsilanti to Mount Clemens. Solidly rain here in Midtown, however it looks to still be SN+ back home in Livonia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive rates I'm hearing out of northern Oakland.Any chance of over performing just went right out the window. Oh well, it was nice to have some hope.
