cyclone77 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Up to 39 here. Lots of dripping outside, and the occasional crash from large icicles colliding with the ground. Down to about 2" now, with some grass blades starting to show through in the thinner areas. Should be patches by Wed. Could be the last we see snow cover for a few weeks.

michsnowfreak Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Roads full of black ice this morning. Snow is dense and frozen but thaw awaits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 The point for tomorrow night has temps rising into the lower 50s by around 3am. That will be nearly 70 degrees warmer than Saturday morning!! EDIT: Checked the point for Sterling and they have the same. Since they hit -24 Sat morning that would be 75 degrees warmer lol. Wednesday Night A 50 percent chance of rain after midnight. Areas of fog. Otherwise, cloudy, with a temperature rising to around 51 by 3am. South wind around 10 mph. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Freezing rain left an ice rink this morning but its now above freezing. Snowpack hasn't budged yet but it's coming unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 Snowpack is getting devastated with temps in the 40s and high dews. Sun is the only thing that is lacking to speed it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 A nice 50 degree gradient from north central IL to northern IA. This is going to be fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground definitely frozen lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground definitely frozen lol The roads around here have really gone to the crapper the past few days lol. Lots of heaving on certain roads from the frost, and of course pot holes popping up faster than pimples on a adolescent. You guys may have a shot at 60 tomorrow due to optimal timing of the fropa. Think even here we have a shot at the mid 50s before we tank into the mid 20s by sundown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knock knock. Would prob lean just a bit lower than that for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 I just love days like tomorrow. You go from full on spring to temps dropping below freezing no more than 50-75 miles behind the cold front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll already be down into the 20s before the front reaches you guys. I can't wait to see how warm it is at Sterling around 7am. Sterling was -22 at 7am Sat IIRC, and MLI was -16 at 8am.

Chicago Storm Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Up to 56 at ORD, which is even running a bit ahead of the warmest of guidance. That record of 61 is very much in play by the looks of it.Mild temp/DP combo quickly did work on the snowpack today, with only piles left by this evening. Shouldn’t be anything outside of the biggest of piles left by tomorrow evening.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmillzz Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 probably would be into the mid 60s if we were to see any sun, which doesn't look to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmillzz Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Long range GFS does look mildish at least. No doubt in my mind we've already seen the coldest air of the season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 One week ago as Wed turned to Thu at midnight it was -4/-9 with a wind chill of -14. Midnight tonight, 51/48 and no wind chill at all. Amazing turnaround in conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
