Started as some pretty heavy sleet this morning, then went to freezing rain about 8:30. Trees are creaking with every movement of the wind. Temp is 31˚ at mi casa currently. Actually got a real weather station now, lol. Even with probably getting to or a bit above freezing this afternoon...tomorrow is going to suck. Alas, hoping for a little snow here as this thing exits stage right. Thankfully it's a federal holiday, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Rockford is at 33º and we're at 31.3º right now. We may go above freezing. smdh. Just a note about RFD, we strongly suspect it's been running warm the past few weeks.Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftfeuchtigkeit Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 ...And now the 18Z HRRR is showing I get an inch later this afternoon. First run that I have noticed where I actually got any measurable snow. It's just a slight shift to the NW from previous runs. If it comes true then NAM will have performed better in my area than RGEM/Canadian which had everything staying farther SE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Although there is dripping from the roof, I am not seeing that from the trees and power lines. Granted I am eyeballing out the window at some distance and perhaps a better view would be, well, better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Scattered power outages starting to roll in in northwest IN. Numbers are pretty small overall but most affected area looks to be in the zone from central/southern Lake and Porter counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlon62 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Legit ZR plus traffic plus the half inch of snow combined with that not quite enough there to send the plows out earlier has created a suitable mess of the roadways.Similar icy drippage from the power lines as well.Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Now that the main slug of precip has moved out of here, will be curious to see if this drizzly/light stuff can continue to accrete on certain objects/surfaces given the marginal temps.

mimillman Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 This would have been a great storm with any semblance of a cold antecedent airmass. Oh well. I get back to the city tomorrow after being on the east coast so maybe we can muster an inch of mood dust with tomorrow nights “event” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Had about 15 minutes of light snow at onset around 9am. Quickly shifted to sleet and a little freezing rain, and after about an hour of that it became all freezing rain. In a lull right now with drizzle.

Hoosier Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Went outside and there's definitely not any current dripping of the icicles from the trees and power lines. There were some decent gusts while I was outside so that would've blown anything watery. Still in nuisance territory with the amount of accretion here but wouldn't take much more to start causing some concern, especially if not much melts and we bring in some wet snow later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Perry Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Up to 32° per my weather station. The glaze on my truck and Jeep is melting rapidly. Don’t see much in the way of that happening on the trees as of now but at 32° and daylight and WAA, I suspect it will begin melting on the trees as well. Lots of run-off. Slushy pavement. Wind is picking up. One word. Dank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Thanks for all your good local reports Hoosier. As I look west out of my apartment window here in Griffith I concur with your observations. Am hoping that we luck out up here and not have concerns with wind and power outages like southern parts of the area are now reporting. Never had an accident in snow but have had one due to freezing rain a couple years ago down in Indpls. I see many reports of quarter to .3 inch of ice across central IL.

Natester Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 No precip at here whatsoever. The edge of the snow shield stopped just SE of Cedar Rapids. Not complaining since we got over 8 inches on Tuesday. In other news, no substantial power outages in Iowa even though the ZR got pretty far north (up to Johnson county).

Over 10k outages now in that swath south of us. Fairly respectable number considering it's mostly a bunch of small towns or rural areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
