cyclone77 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 0.87" rain so far, which is more than I figured we'd get. Also some glazing on the trees about 30ft+ up, but none below that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Power outages rapidly increasing across N IL. You don't even need to look at the radar, you can just look at the outage map to see where there has/hasn't been ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Before and after the main show started earlier this afternoon. Wish I could have stayed on the slopes longer, but I don’t want to chance it with the roads going downhill. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Chunks of ice are hitting the east side of the house as the wind is now starting to knock off some of the ice from high up in the front tree. Glad temps weren't a degree or two colder or we'd have been hit pretty good. Hoosier's point about the dews being a bit lower than freezing is interesting, never thought about that. Up to 0.90" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen trees and other elevated surfaces glaze up while the ground remained liquid, but never this sort of elevated glaze like today. I'd imagine if I took a short trip north it changes pretty quickly to more of a "traditional" glaze lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Models pulled the rug on MSP. Hate to see it. Still a solid storm, but what might have been. Also, models were awful with temps looking at LAF. They're at 39˚ currently. Most models had them in the 60's right now. 12z Euro had them in the low 60's all afternoon. Woof. EDIT: zone forecast for today. TIPPECANOE- INCLUDING THE CITIES OF LAFAYETTE AND WEST LAFAYETTE 328 AM EST WED FEB 22 2023 TODAY SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. NOT AS COOL WITH HIGHS AROUND 60. SOUTHEAST WINDS 10 TO 15 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 MPH, BECOMING SOUTHWEST 15 TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH THIS AFTERNOON. CHANCE OF RAIN NEAR 100 PERCENT.

Up to 0.90" Not totally sure, but it seems like it makes sense. All else being equal, something like 32/29 seems like it would be better for accretion than 32/32. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seems the models usually underplay temps when you're on (close to) the line. LAF went the other way. Bad beat for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The effective warm front is still about 30-40 miles south of me. Haven't been out of the mid 30's all day, while IND set a record high around 4 PM of 71°. Predicted high in the upper 50's. At least I got a t-storm out of it this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Storm total of 5.5” as of 6pm. That amounts to 1.4” from round 2. The NWS office was up to 6.5” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're like Hoosier and rode the 48 hour HRRR and RAP. Tomorrow's quick torch looks like a non-event too. What a miserable system on the cold/wet side.

frostfern Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Only minor ice accumulation on the trees. The watery sleet bounces off tree branches but it certainly stuck to the car. Crust doesn't come off so easily. It's basically sleet glued together with clear ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't checked the gauge, but I'm sure that we're over 2" and still pouring, all while in the 30's. I was going to mention yesterday that the warm front often ends up on the northern envelope of guidance, but I'm glad I didn't because it sure didn't happen this time.
