  1. I'm not sure what you do as a forecaster right now. Day after day prior to the storm we have excellent model agreement across the board showing a major, perhaps historic, storm. Even if you slow play the hell out of the messaging, eventually you have to alert the public to the potential. The modeling has been somehow horrendous but in lockstep.
  2. A good amount of melting has already occurred here, with many trees down to just a minor glaze
  3. My tippy bucket apparently froze over very early in the storm, so no idea how much liquid I received. My power has popped back on with 100,000+ still in the dark, so must have been an easy fix. Fog and temps above 32, let’s hope wE melt enough to avoid more power failures.
  4. Was that the storm that supposedly had reports of 5” ice build ups?
  5. Finished with .25” of ice today, trees and power lines down everywhere. Significantly more impactful than I assumed it would be
  6. Outside getting the generator started and it is eerily quiet with the occasional loud crashing of a tree branch coming down
  7. Like 2,000 individual outages too. Some folks are going to be without power for awhile
  8. LOT probably could have expanded that ice storm warning another tier of counties.
  9. Power outages are on the rise, 4,000+ out right now in IL
  10. Been holding at 31.7 on my backyard station since 7am. Any drop will not make things any better. Only positive is that it is raining heavier now which has slowed the accretion a bit.
  11. Wind starting to pick up, really seeing the heavy trees sway
  12. Definitely primed to get something dirty riding the warm front.
  13. Ice is readily accreting. This could be an issue if we can’t get off the 31 degree hump
  14. Heavy freezing rain falling at the moment, stuck just under freezing
  15. Minor glaze on elevated surfaces here, but temps are on the upswing. At 32 on the dot currently.
  16. Sucks when they trim the floor down to a total that still exceeds most of our season totals...
  17. Would be an insane and catastrophic ice storm for the metro. Im planning for some sort of brief frozen precip, but with the WTOD routinely over performing, I’m not sold on extensive ice across LOT
