mimillman Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 It’s really bad out. Side streets and sidewalks totally iced over. Could barely walk the dog. If this continues overnight it’s going to be really dangerous for tomorrow morning commute and I don’t think people really get it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main roads were okay. Pull up to point B and the second my feet hit the ground I fall out of my car onto the ice-covered ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIllinoisSnow Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Sitting at 32.9 here at the moment, temp got above freezing around 1:30pm and never went back down, luckily avoided what looked like could have been a relatively significant icing event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxMatt21 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Currently 36 at FWA. Areas south and west/east of here all in the mid 30s. Expect some cooling as the heavy precip moves in, but it has been way warmer than modeled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnwx85 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Looks like about a tenth of an inch of ice on ground level surfaces. Looks neat on the snow. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Cold surfaces did work, wish it was a bit colder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimillman Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Sidewalks and side roads are awful. Ironically they are the only thing with ice accumulation since I guess the surface of things like tree branches and parking signs and cars not sustained cold enough. However in my opinion makes it more dangerous. Very rare to see it like this here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Just plain ol' rain here. Picked up about 0.30" so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Absolutely YUCK conditions here. Sleet and freezing rain. Side roads are a disaster. Bonus is I get to WFH today!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Warmed up just enough to keep most of this rain here, thankfully. Where it was colder though the roads especially side streets were slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWMT30 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Yeah all rain here in Canton woke up at 330 to see the temp outside and it was 33.3 I was happy we avoided anything to nasty here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 12 hours ago, Frog Town said: If my temp is 34 in Toledo and dewpoint is at 32, we've essentially hit our wet bulb max, correct. Not much more room for evaporational cooling is there? HRRR seems to be verifying too cold. Any chance you were out and about this morning there? I was also worried in the evening when I saw the warm surface temps, but I saw a lot of schools closed and I saw some reports of very icy conditions. Curious to hear how bad it actually was or wasn’t. TOL never got below 34 degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillsdaleMIWeather Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 In an odd localized pocket of freezing rain like the event last year, hoping it switches over to regular rain soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Looking good for 2-3", locally 4", across most of the GTA away from the lake, assuming temperatures can stay around the freezing mark or below. @mississaugasnow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most side roads I saw still had a coating of ice/slush at 10 am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 We got a bit of freezing rain this morning, but the snow part is a dud. It briefly switched to snow and dusted the pavement, but then switched back to light rain. We were counting on dynamic cooling, but the precip is too weak.

michsnowfreak Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Didn't get that icicle look from freezing rain, as it was 32-33 all night, but the ground was cold enough that pavements were slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to hear how bad it actually was or wasn’t. TOL never got below 34 degrees Sure enough surface temps of 30-31 did us all in. Glazed up everywhere and was an easy call with schools this morning. Just so different than the normal ice storm set-up(NE dry feed, 3M temps below freezing, etc.) Really made me second guess the eventual outcome. Thanks for chiming in though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Ended up being fairly uneventful around here. The ground (Roads/sidewalks/etc) glazed up, due to the residual effects of the recent cold. However, ice didn't accumulate on any other surface, due to marginal temperatures and dew points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Personally, when I went outside around 6 am I thought driveway and walks were as treacherous as I've ever seen them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomp2mp Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Flew into DTW on my way back from Pensacola yesterday (was cold AF down there but that's another story) and our flight was delayed by about 30 mins so they could top off the fuel just in case we had to go into a holding pattern. DTW was reporting FZRA and the captain said our diversion was CMH (to booing in the cabin lol). Luckily we had a brisk tailwind and only arrived 15 minutes late, and DTW switched to just rain. roads were crap heading Downriver around 11:30PM, but my drive back to Waterford this afternoon entailed just wet roads.

Had some fat partially melted flakes slapping the windshield on the drive in to work this morning, but otherwise was a 100% rain event here.
