They actually closed DTW airport due to icing right now I am also curious what ground cover will look like 24 hours from now. I really really do not want to go into the deep freeze without snow on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 It's funny how even our good snows, it's always slow and steady; it seems our peak so far has been half an inch an hour rates, hoping it picks up later. We've seen a couple inches or so to this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janetjanet998 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 REA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE, IL 856 PM CST TUE JAN 22 2019 UPDATE 856 PM CST NO BIG CHANGES TO GOING FORECAST PLANNED THIS EVENING, JUST A BIT OF FINE TUNING TO TEMPS AND PRECIP TYPE. CURRENTLY, THE RAIN-SNOW LINE IS FAIRLY CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH I-80 WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF FREEZING RAIN REMAINING. CONTINUED WARM AIR ADVECTION FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS WILL PROBABLY RESULT IN THE RAIN-SNOW LINE LIFTING A BIT FARTHER NORTH, ESPECIALLY ACROSS NE IL. DESPITE THE BRIEF RESPITE IN PRECIP, THE WINTER STORM WARNING AREA STILL LOOKS ON TRACK TO GET ANOTHER 3-6" OF SNOW OVERNIGHT WITH TEMPS EXPECTED TO REMAIN PLENTY COLD ENOUGH TO ACCUMULATE. REGARDING HEADLINES... GROUP OF COUNTIES SET TO EXPIRE IN A FEW MINUTES LOOKS REASONABLE. KENDALL, NORTHERN LASALLE, AND NORTHWESTERN WILL SHOULD CONTINUE TO SEE SNOW FOR A BIT LONGER, BUT WITH TEMPS NOW INCHING UP JUST ABOVE FREEZING, ACCUMULATIONS SHOULDN'T GET OUT OF HAND DESPITE THE BRIEFLY HEAVIER BURSTS OF SNOW OCCURRING. SHOULD BE ABLE TO ALLOW COOK AND DUPAGE TO EXPIRE AS SCHEDULED AT MIDNIGHT AS WELL AS RAIN/SNOW LINE INCHES NORTH AND TEMPS CLIMB A COUPLE DEGREES ABOVE FREEZING ENDING THE MEANINGFUL ACCUMULATION RISK.

cyclone77 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 About 1.5" so far. This snow is very opposite of the last one which was dry, powdery, and blew around. This one is very wet and there's almost no wind. Trees and powerlines are really caking up. Rain/snow line not too far south/southeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totsata Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Beautiful fat flakes here (border of Lake and Cook counties) as well. It is so calm and peaceful outside. Doesn't get any better than this! Still think will transition to rain overnight for a bit, but this band made the whole event worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Pouring pixie dust here. Think it may be mixing with a little rain as well, can't be sure. It's very slowly, but steadily adding up. A bit over 2" now. Temp has been hovering at 31 for 6+hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelmantis Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Had a few minutes of the huge flakes ChiStorm posted about and from the radar I look to be about 5 miles north of the rain/snow line.

I think there are quite a few optimists on the board (myself included) so it is nice to have someone to ground us which most often than not aligns with the ultimate outcome. *This message was paid for by Chicago Storm Jokes aside, thank you all for your contributions and knowledge shared!
