Hoosier Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Man some of the roads are terrible. Was probably going 5-10 mph as I approached a stop sign and still started to slide into the intersection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen 2 jacked knife semis and 3 cars in ditches in a 6 mile stretch on I-57 in Kankakee County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I was driving like an old man coming home from work, Wait, I am an old man! Slid about one foot into the first intersection I stopped at. Drove the rest of the ay home at less than the posted speed. Probably did not make any friends but no one passed me so they must have thought it was warranted also.

CheeselandSkies Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Fell from a "high" in the upper 20s at 1 AM to 10 degrees on a stiff northwest wind, expected to "rebound" to 15 degrees this afternoon. Serious question for the promets on here: What exactly is causing this pattern of whipsawing temperatures every 36~ish hours with little to no precipitation/storm events to show for it? Is it a case of the pattern being too active for its own good, so every FROPA is moisture-starved? Are the cold air pushes too suppressive, so no real cyclogenesis can occur?

ILSNOW Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 12Z GEM still has a storm but trending weaker 12z 0Z 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 The snow has a shine to it now from last night's glazing. No more blowing snow from here on out. Euro tries to get a clipper system in here next weekend, but has the look of a one run wonder. My hunch is it will be a Michigan special on the next run.

Chicago Storm Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Glaze + for most areas around here yesterday/last night…Ice totals of 0.15” ORD, 0.18” MDW and 0.10” RFD.Some of the higher totals were 0.18” ARR and 0.24” DPA.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 UK/CMC/Euro all have a similar system at FH126. GFS has a clipper in the UP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnwx85 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Would be nice to have the models ramp up an event as we get closer for once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 00z Euro is still sw of the other models... really dives the energy south. It had looked like there would be nothing of interest for many of us for another 10-14 days. Now all models are suddenly on board a solid snow for some of us in only five days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malacka11 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 My earlier comment in the other thread was very pessimistic but not gonna lie, from a gut-feeling standpoint, this one feels good to me. It popped up late and there's plenty of spread still, with good hits on either end of the envelope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
