ams30721us Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Suprisingly, those heavier echoes Here in the QC are producing sleet & snow. I figured we would be Frz. rain to start for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisWx Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 APX hoisted a WSW for my county. 6-10 inches expected from this evening until tomorrow evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary67 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 LOT just pulled the trigger on a WSW for McHenry Co. Maybe a case where extreme SE Mchenry not warranted for snow amts. but lumped in with areas further west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Precip blossoming. Still light into the Chicago metro area but this is the kind of stuff that accretes efficiently in a progressively marginal temperature situation. Also going to be losing any diurnal assist to the roads pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bl5585 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 ZR at a pretty good rate here. The temp has been stuck at 31.9 for about 15 minutes now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlon62 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Back to Woodstock. Everything glazed, although not enough to the point where you have icicles hanging from the street signs.Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEiowaWX Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Setting at 31 degrees here. Started as freezing drizzle switched to sleet for 15 minutes now all snow! Looks like we're in for another wallop here in SE iowa after days of less then an inch forcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 -SN here in Ames. There isn't the worst flake size at the moment. We'll see how it plays out this evening. Another thing to watch for us central IA folks is the passage of the 500mb low late tonight which produces some decent precip overnight - at least on the globals and now the NAM/RGEM to some extent. I'm not sure if that's legitimate - especially given how awful the trends have been the last day or so - but the signal is there to produce a couple inches even as we get towards the morning hours. Some decent banding right now which wasn't particularly well handled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConvectiveIA Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I think that right now the RAP and HRRR are too far southeast over our area with the cutoff as snow has already developed in areas northwest of it. The RDPS looks more realistic, or maybe something between but it’s slready snowing nicely here with 1/2 inch new snow so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuanis Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 20z HRRR is teasing us border county folks with some legit snow. Puts the heaviest band from QCA > Rockford > Racine once things get going this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 HRRR continues to dry out the main snowband here. Only 2-4" by 5 am tomorrow. Down from what was 6-8" on the 12z run. I smell an underperformer. Call for Iowa City? 4 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 IGQ at 32 now... using them as my guide since I'm close by right now. Looking outside, can see the watery glaze on the ground. Will be curious to see how much of a beating the snowpack takes. It was not on the wet side to begin with but now there is a minor layer of ice on top and it will be raining into it. As long as the surface low doesn't make a last minute move farther north, temps/dews shouldn't get too crazy. Whatever survives is going to be a glacier.

I still don't think this will amount to much down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoalCityWxMan Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Not sure what to expect in the Dekalb/Sycamore area. Cutoff should be right around here, could easily us getting >1” but could also see us getting 3-4”. LOT is going with 3-5” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I guess I underestimated the strength of WAA with this. Truly thought the snowpack would help mitigate the warming. The arctic air mass had definitely got more shallow as that high shifted east.
