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. Yeah, right near the shore is tricky... It's possible it doesn't really drop below 32-33 there and so there's little/no accretion. But just a little bit inland, even a couple miles looks more certain to be problematic. A number of stations in far southeast WI are already 34-35.

snowcaine Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 NAM has 0.75" of freezing rain tomorrow, followed by heavy rain, and topped off with a 7" snowfall on Monday. Fat chance but wow it really is 4 different storms all packed into one monster. Monday is going to be a slushy mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Have had very heavy snowfall the past few hours, definitely in the 1-2”/hr range. Airport has been shutdown all afternoon and until at least 7pm. Going to estimate close to 10” here, we’ll see what is reported in about an hour.

I'm not a big fan of freezing rain, but I'm trying to look for a bright spot. I bought a new camera last year and I might get some nice icy shots tomorrow. Hoping I don't lose power, though.

If the warming aloft is less than anticipated, then it could actually result in a scenario where the better ice zone ends up along/just south of the WI state line.

April 1995 was pretty cold too so imo it might be the coldest since then. 1975 for now seems like a stretch. Mean temp for Apr. 95 was 39.3F vs. 37F in Apr. 75. Through April 13th YYZ is at 34F and the next 5-7 days are expected to be below 50F. Either way I hope May is warmer. May 1975 was way above average, lol. Getting tired of this now.

harrisale Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I suspect all of this sleet on the ground may actually contribute to the freezing rain threat tomorrow. Having a thick layer of ice on the ground may aid in keeping surface temperatures below freezing for longer. About 2.0” of sleet on the ground here.

mississaugasnow Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Today alone has been interesting. 1-3" of sleet across the GTA, roads are a mess and temperatures are solidly in the mid 20s now. The big question now is how bad does tomorrow get? The temperatures being in the mid 20s for 6-12 hours ahead of the next batch will cool almost everything and allow for greater ice accretion. Also how long do we stay in the 20s with the freezing rain? The use of "historic" in the warnings by Environment Canada might be correct if everything comes together.

snowcaine Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Winds stay fairly consistent in their direction tomorrow. The low really needs to go further north to raise the surface temps significantly. The ZR threat tomorrow has be pretty concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Marusak Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 estimating just under 10" here of a snow/sleet accumulation in the north end of St Paul between 22Z yesterday and 2340Z this evening, using a rough area-averaging technique, since my apt won't allow me to put up snowboards, rain gauges, and instrument clusters.

OrdIowPitMsp Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 MSP reporting 10.1” as of 7pm. Need another 1.4” to tie the monthly snowfall record for April. Band of moderate snow currently and with passing snow showers tonight and tomorrow we should achieve that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
