cyclone77 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 HRRR has us getting close to 60 early tomorrow afternoon with low 50 dews. Looks like renewed convection will fire east of here though. Should be an interesting day nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Very dense fog around here this evening, with vis down to less than 1/8M at times. ORD has been down to 1/8M off and on this evening as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Been really foggy here as well. Temp 42 right now with dense fog, but the warm front is heading this way. MLI has recently jumped up to 50 and their vis has improved up to a mile. HRRR looks like it's struggling with reflectivity based on what the radar looks like. Kind of looks like the heaviest rains will split around us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Only 0.08" so far with the majority of the heavy rains looking to slip off to the east the rest of the night. Looks like another event well under a half inch. Hopefully we can make it to the 1/4" threshold before the dry slot moves in. Hopefully we can nab a 0.5"+ QPF event sometime in Feb or March.

bowtie` Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 A lot of contrast in the sky here this morning in central Indiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Picked up 0.31" overnight/early this morning. MLI picked up just 0.21", and DVN 0.10" lol. So much for a wet system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Its been a white winter, but as we now enter the dead of winter, the snow depth has gone down to 0. Since December 6th, the only days that started with no snow on the ground at the 7am obs were Dec 21, 22, 23, & Jan 12. Unfortunately this one appears to last for at least a little bit. Winters return, be it cold clippers or whatever, cant come soon enough for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dense fog a short while ago and the temp has jumped a few degrees to 43. Should be in the mid 50s with sun and building cumulus in the next hour or so.

cyclone77 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Quite the dramatic change here in the last hour. An hour ago or so we were socked in with dense fog, calm winds, and some drizzle. Since then the fog lifted, the skies have cleared, the winds have really kicked up, and the temp has jumped 11 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of the meso models late last evening began hinting at a screw zone up through se and ec Iowa, and that certainly panned out. Fortunately, I was just far enough west to get some thundershowers with brief heavy downpours. I finished with 0.60" of rain. Parts of southeast Iowa will get through this entire big storm with ZERO precip... unreal! As the radar estimate shows, the heaviest stuff passed west of me. The Cedar Falls high school weather station received 2.24". It is also beginning to warm here. The warm sector will shrink away to the east as it lifts north, but I'm hoping we can briefly touch 50. It's in the low 50s in Iowa City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro shows the precip tonight swirling perfectly all around the DVN area, so looks like a T at best the rest of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Got some lightning off to my SW, and ASOS is saying to the E but I can't see through the cloud deck that way. Radar would definitely agree with ASOS though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Surprised that I still have about 60% of my yard still covered in icy snow. Neighborhood was still fully covered until this morning. I thought for sure that after temps mostly around 40 degrees with an inch of rain and dense fog...that my snow would be all gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Illinois Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Well this afternoon I had thunderstorms and some brief hail and currently I’ve got moderate snow might be able to squeeze an inch out of this band before it’s over Sent from my iPhone 8+ using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hi everyone, checkin' in. Mid-Winter up in the UP. Snow getting deep. 5-6' drifts on the roof. House is 16" on center so not too worried. Could see some impressive depths with the pattern setting up in Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a white winter up to this point but now it's bare. Not just here but no good snow conditions in lower MI right now. I didnt realize it was that good up there. Whats the depth?

I have 30-33” in my usual measuring spots. A very dense packed powder base on the ground. On an average winter, I’ll reach 4’- 4 1/2’ depth like ‘14-‘15 when it reached 52" in March.

SchaumburgStormer Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Holy slick conditions. Wrecks all over the county due to a coating of ice from freezing drizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Some flurries this morning. But sigh. This is day 3 with bare ground. Looks like after only 3.5 days from Dec 7 - Jan 22 had bare ground we will now have it for at least 10 days. Hopefully the pattern turnaround hits on schedule and hits everyone with snow.

IWXwx Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 We actually got a measurable 0.2" of flurries this morning, quite a surprise. At least it looks like winter out there again for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
