CheeselandSkies Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Back side of the snow seems to be clearing Madison now, heavier rates definitely missed us to the west/south. Doubt we made warning criteria totals here and points north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 A steady moderate freezing rain continues. Glazing has been pretty efficient up until now with temps below 30. If this were to continue all night we'd have a real problem on our hands. Luckily temps should get up to near melting by 1-2am. At the least it should slow down the efficient accrual. The combination of the 4.5" if snow and almost 1.5" of sleet makes for about 6" of snow/sleet on the ground now. This has definitely been an entertaining system I'll give it that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwohweather Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 What did you get on Christmas? TOL only reported 1.0" but they are west of Toledo I believe we had 2.5”.

Radtechwxman Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Went above freezing here earlier than expected. That dry slot was a killer. Temps rose a lot with no precip and strong se winds. I thought with dews in the mid to upper 20s that once precip resumed that we could drop a bit again but nope. Got a little over an inch of snow and a glaze at best of ice. Hope this next storm fairs better here. Team gem till the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t believe a WWA never went up, roads are garbage and it’s easily 1” an hour rates here Yeah, I love winter. That is why I come back to MI for DJ and some of F.

hawkeye_wx Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 My snow total is 8.5". The 12" report just south of me sure seems like a lot. This was the most satisfying snowstorm in years. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Here's a NAM forecast sounding from around here Fri morning. This is a pretty classic freezing rain look. The warm layer aloft in depth/magnitude is more than enough for complete melting of precip into liquid, while the near surface cold layer is rather shallow and not super cold. The obvious question is how long can the low level cold layer hold on? Eventually it should lose out (barring a significant shift southeast) and cause a flip to plain rain even while the sfc flow is east or slightly northeast, but I suspect it will be a laborious climb given the wind direction, time of year, and ongoing precip. Could envision quite a few hours of 32-34 degree temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIstorm97 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Picked up a quick 1.0" of snow as that band moved through. Looking solid for a glaze of ice later tonight. Sitting at 10.8" for the season now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlcater Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Final total of 9.2" taken from average of snow boards around the yard. Well forecast and very respectable event. Quite a bit of FZDZ out there currently and it's quite nasty. Should end up with solid glaze by morning. Temp 30. Honestly the first event I can remember where I'm left thinking ... Damn did the canadian do a good job. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Cudos to those that got the hammer. Those that got the sink, models seem to be giving you a second chance SE bump with wave 2. Looks like there will even be a moisture starved wave 3 that could toss those of us in the orphanage an inch here and there maybe Sunday. NYD is forecast to be the warmest at KIND since 2000, ROCK! There's plenty of consistency over the next 10 days from the models... for absolutely nothing. WTF do they know! lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 ZR is ongoing, with a real nice glaze forming on everything. If there was wind of any significance, we would have some issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly the first event I can remember where I'm left thinking ... Damn did the canadian do a good job. I was surprised how well it did (at least against itself) with the tropics this year. It was pretty tight on the H5 anomalies over the summer which could've made it look good tropic wise especially with GOM tracks. To be honest, this past summer the H5 setup resembled what's going on now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Temp up to 32 with freezing rain still holding on marginally. Guessing at least a good 1/4" of glaze here on top of the other stuff. Wondering how areas just south did on glazing, in areas that didn't get the crazy sleet storm and had less snow before the changeover. Wouldn't be surprised if a fairly serious area of glazing took place just south of here along that northeast/southwest axis. MLI picked up 0.82" of precip after they changed over to primarily freezing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if a fairly serious area of glazing took place just south of here along that northeast/southwest axis. Way way less sleet, but way more freezing rain accretion. Judging by storm motion, my area would follow that same general SW to NE line. So I assume somewhere to the NW of me got your epic sleet storm as well.
