Hoosier Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 It's very thin but it's a sheet of ice out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 WWA for 2-4 here tonight, looks good in my book, maybe some freezing drizzle to end it tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 34 here now. As rain moves in it will certainly be a skating rink on these cold surfaces. Then a forecast of 1-2 inches of snow and tenth of an inch of ice. Keep those reports of observations and traffic problems coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Light freezing rain continues here. Haven't seen any sleet for awhile. Probably a good tenth of an inch of glaze out there. The fresh looking snow from the past week or so is now crusted up and glossy on top. Temp has reached 30. CC from DVN shows the melting layer holding at over 2000ft, so thinking we won't see any flakes here. Snowflakes that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 WWA for 2-4" snow. DTX hasnt been aa gun shy this year, there have been a lot of winter headlines so far this season. A few warnings, several advisories, & numerous wind chill headlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Had a few snow showers early this morning, with a dusting. Since then have had some FZDZ and -FZRA throughout the day. Nice glaze on all surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimillman Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I must say we have had very little precipitation here throughout the day. Radar returns looked promising for something earlier on, but everything that makes its way into the area seems to have fizzled out. Will not be surprised to see KMDW and KORD as precip mins.

Not big accumulations, but when I put my trash can out it slid right off the driveway. Thinking any untreated surfaces are extremely hazardous. Edit: saw your in the Loop. Urban heat island repels all frozen precipitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Guesstimating we had a good 0.15" of precip fall in total, with a little over a tenth of accretion. Small amount of sleet, and zero snowflakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 My takeaway from this event is don't underestimate WAA. The NAMs/RAP/HRRR were obviously on right track and still not warm enough with warm nose. It's a good learning lesson. As someone with a public safety responsibility involved in forecasting, I do regret not hitting the freezing rain threat harder when I had forecasting responsibility for the event. We did trend in right direction this morning but still not quite hard enough. But that's how this is a learning experience that will help with the next similar situation.Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OHweather Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 After a brief period of sleet now over to light ZR here.

michsnowfreak Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 2.3" of snow overnight. There is now a thick 7-8" carpet of packing snow on the ground as it is 34F. I cant imagine the snow forts that could be built today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Close to 2" of snow here in Toronto. Looking out the office window, it's pretty much stopped now. A thin layer of fresh snow on-top of the ~4" of plaster on the ground, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
