hlcater Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 It’s pretty boring here. Y’all aren’t missing much. The lightest pixie dust I’ve ever seen. Like 0.1”/hr stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McHenrySnow Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hoping to get a decent burst before the dry slot arrives. Returns to my south around Aurora look good, hope it translate north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 There’s just no cold air. Light snow all night but temps stayed above freezing so doesn’t look like much if any accumulated. We might have lost snow depth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 exactly. Rarely, if ever, recall a closed upper low in mid January not generate a stitch of cold air. And to project this further the aftermath of this still leaves us in a seasonal temp regime despite a northwest flow pattern. Not a good look, or what I anticipated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Some real nice bursts of snow here this morning. Snow globe at times. Everything covered up.

Drove under one on the way to work, rippage with huge flakes. 1/2 mile or less visibility and instantly coated the road. Bodes well for the rest of the day. SPS going out now.

mimillman Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Back to the overcast look I've grown accustomed to the past 26 days. Very dangerous road conditions for pedestrians with puddles everywhere from the light rain last night. Hopefully the city gets this cleaned up before someone gets their shoe wet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McHenrySnow Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Gotten two heavy showers thus far this morning with flurries in between. Maybe .2" out there, nothing to write home about. Slightly above freezing. The good part is at least it sticks to the glacier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
