Jonger Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Picked up about 5" over night of cement, when I left this morning for work it was a mixed bag of sleet snow and even a little Frz Rn. Tonight should be good for 8-12 more. Puts the range right where I expected it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 looked like there was some bright banding on radar, might have been a stray flake making it down under the heaviest returns either way, that band of 2-4" isn't going to materialize Except right at the higher elevations of Mt. Geos 15z run of the HRRR definitely wasn't too excited about it. Going to be tougher to get accumulations after the soaker this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Based on the 850 mb temps on SPC mesoanalysis that seems unlikely. Should have said far northern McHenry. Was looking at this page in Hebron. Reporting light snow at freezing. https://www.wunderground.com/webcams/ILWSstateline/1/show.html BUU was reporting snow at 11:35am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowcaine Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Going to be a real nail-biter around here. HRRR keep temps below freezing for nearly an inch of precip. Seems hard to believe but looking at surface obs the temp actually fell between 9 and 10am to -2.5C (27.5F) and we're still sitting at -2.2C (28.0F) at noon. Thankfully temps are rising really fast across southern Ontario right now so we should be out of the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrisale Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Thankfully temps are rising really fast across southern Ontario right now so we should be out of the woods. YYZ will probably be fine but areas up on the escarpment and to my NW may have more trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Bit surprised central IN is placed by SPC in a slight risk this afternoon with all the cloudiness and rain we've had this a.m. I'm thinking much better chances for later next week.

josh_4184 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Tonight should be good for 8-12 more. Puts the range right where I expected it. I would say another 6-8' is a good bet, snowing heavy currently in Bellaire where im at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outflow Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Saved by a degree here. Temp at 32 with heavy rain too heavy for any freezing. About 2/10 of an inch of ice with a few branches and a bigger limb here and there down. It could have been a lot worse with just a degree or two difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwx Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Trees are pretty well glazed over here, roads are fine though. Had about a half inch of sleet/ice/snow on my car this morning. Unfortunately i live downtown in an apartment so reliable measurements are hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwohweather Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Parts of the line in NW Ohio at 55 DBZ with velocities over 50 mph on radar. LFC is better to the east as well with small amounts of CAPE around the I75 corridor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Should be into the metro in time for rush hour. 0.89" of rain since yesterday. Solid spring storm for me. Nice boomers last night, with a deluge this morning, and some backside heavy snow on the way. Picked up 1.21" so far today. As has been the story time and time again this winter, somewhat disappointed to not see anything close to the big totals advertised up north.

Paulie21 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 About 20 minutes ago witnessed one of the more impressive bursts of snow here in Dekalb. Some half dollar sized flakes were falling in the heaviest band here that just moved off to the east.Flake sized went down as of now, rates still impressive with ~half mile visibilities. Cars covered and grassy areas quickly started going white while it melted on sidewalks and roads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
