Chicago Storm Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 pretty shocking to see after the recent warmth. guess the dry/cold air feed from the east means business.Indeed.2” soil temp still in the upper 30’s here, and probably a bit higher down there...So I’d imagine any accretion is on elevated/colder surfaces.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 80/20 sleet/frz rain. Has turned into sort of an ice storm. Haven't seen snow in over an hour. As per usual WAA aloft can't be denied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Pouring rain and sleet. Elevated objects (wires, etc) are iced up, even with the windy conditions. 31˚/26˚ at mi casa. Good thing I got the day off. Time for a nap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Shifted over to heavy snow for about 20 minutes, but back to mostly sleet again. Snow rates were well over an inch an hour, as we picked up another half inch in that 20 minutes. If this thing could have stayed all snow we easily would have surpassed 6". Around 1.5" snow/sleet so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 We busted bad over here. Some of the models were pretty aggressive and DVN even upgraded us to a winter storm warning overnight. The result? 0.7" of snow. The cold air aloft was late. By the time it finally switched to snow, the heavy precip was already gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious to know how much qpf fell here, we've had steady moderate to heavy precip since 7:30. Guessing it's gotta be pushing an inch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, although I'm glad we didn't get any freezing rain since it was just barely above freezing right before it switched to snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
