harrisale Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I’m now getting a kitchen sink ZR/IP/SN mix. I have a feeling there will be a lot of p-type changes today so I’ll refrain from posting too many updates unless things really go south. Good luck to those under the gun!

Torchageddon Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 1 hour ago, outflow said: Don't trust some of the observation. I can tell by stepping outside that it isn't snowing in bad axe. sleet freezing rain mix with trees that are icing up despite temps right around freezing. It isn't even dripping anymore off the trees pretty much all freezing on contact. Winds are at 40 so this isn't looking good... This exactly. At times TWN has the wrong obs for my spot but is correct atm showing light ice pellets. Intellicast shows a bunch of locations as snow and way too cold; it sure isn't snowing. I don't trust the mix radar imagery line(s). I seem to have what you describe (ZR with PL). 49 minutes ago, snowcaine said: 12z NAM gives us nearly 2" of ZR tomorrow morning. Jesus. The power crews will hate that one! EDIT: Power is already starting to flicker...goodness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzardof96 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 11am update at YXU has 33/30 t/td. Winds gusting upward of 60km/hr. Things could deteriorate quickly if temps drop to 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely the outcome I least wanted but should be interesting. HRRR spitting out 0.5" of icing today and that doesn't even include tomorrow's ZR, which was looking like another 0.5" The 3-5" of pellets in the current EC forecast. I'll take the under.

MNstorms Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 Wow. Up to 18'' for me now? Could be a top 5 snowfall total ever for my area. Also in a blizzard warning now. In the heaviest snow yet and I can only see about 100 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outflow Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Mostly sleet around here now. Flooding ongoing around bay city mi as the wind forces the waters of lake Huron into Saginaw bay and up the Saginaw river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNstorms Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 Looks like they're upping the totals here expecting the system to last longer and temperatures are 5-7F cooler than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 It's a sleety mess out there. Did have a period of ZR but now it's pure pellets. Maybe even a flake or two mixed in from time to time. Roads are not great, even though it's afternoon in mid April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by looking at the Hydro One outage map there has been more sustained freezing rain in the London to Woodstock area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London snowsquall Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 A mix of sleet and freezing rain here now, and the freezing rain is beginning a light accumulation on shrubs and the trees. Roads still seem to be OK for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRRR says 12-18" for most of Southern Minnesota (with light to slightly moderate snow leaving the area after that) I just went out to measure and it wasn't easy. Somewhere around 3.5-4''. Most of the snow is blowing into the house and burying us in. Lots of drifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Milwaukee should expand their advisory southward. LOT may need one too for the northernmost counties although actual road conditions may not get that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_4184 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Man what a storm so far, not sure how I still have power. picked up over a foot of concrete since last evening. Finally got a lull in the action until late tonight when we get sleeted, then back to snow, NAM pretty aggressive with the amounts thru Tuesday of over a foot more. I need spring!

Snowstorms Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 The secondary wave tomorrow morning is looking more and more likely that it will be primarily freezing rain and sleet across the GTA as the surface retains the cold despite a warmer upper atmosphere. Should see a transition over to heavy rain tomorrow night but until then it's going to be dangerous and extremely treacherous across the entire region. I hope this is the last of winter as I've been ready for warmth for a few weeks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Perry Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Updated click and point is featuring .2-.4” ice accums tonight with possible higher amounts due to the convective nature of the ZR. Colder air is also filtering in earlier than models are depicting. Will be interesting to see how the local offices handle it - that amount of ice is definitely enough to cause some issues, especially with wind gusts over 40mph.

OrdIowPitMsp Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Absolute rippage right now, this is incredible to witness walking around my neighborhood. Upgraded to a blizzard warning with very strong words from the NWS. Easily 6”+ with lots of drifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKX in particular looks dicey/icy in the southeastern counties that aren't under one. Climo would suggest it's tough to get ice near the Lake Michigan shore in mid April but I think that will be put to the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly all short range guidance confirms that there will be atleast some accretion into northern Illinois - enough for impacts. The lake influence will definitely be the test.
