    Yeah been freezing for a little while now. No sleet yet.
  2. cyclone77
    Moderate rain and 33 here. Temp has dropped about 4 degrees in the past few hours.

    That RAP run was a beaut Clark. Let's lock it in.

    First call from last evening still looking on track. Regular rain may hold on a bit longer than how it looked last eve, but should still get a good period of sleet/freezing rain. 2-5" snow call still looks okay. Yesterday's near 60 degree warmth is a distant memory.

    I guess it wouldn't be as exciting if we didn't have all this model madness up until 6hrs before the onset of the storm.
  6. cyclone77
    16 consecutive hours of sleet here with that lol. Hawkeye buried in snow.

    From a snow perspective, I just want to see at least a brief period of rippage before the sun sets later Saturday. Would love a warning criteria snow event, but that isn't in the cards with this 1-2 punch system. If we can get an inch or two of sleet, and then add an inch or two of snow then that would make it look pretty wintry to be sure.

    Both waves.
  9. cyclone77
    This is gonna be a sleet storm for the ages for the QCA.

    Almost 60 today as it hit 58 at MLI. Without technology an icestorm would not be something you'd expect in 24-30hrs.

    Didn't here, but there were numerous reports of outages around the area. Luckily only had 0.2" of glazing due to temps near freezing during the event. If it had been a few degrees colder it would have been very bad considering the 50mph winds that hit after the event.

    Point has 7" of snow here/QC, but to me it looks like sleet/freezing rain will be the dominant type till about sunset late Sat. Gonna take some serious rippage with that tail end snow to get to 7". I'll go with 2-5" snow as a first call, with a lot of sleet/freezing rain before that.
  13. cyclone77
    1st-world problems lol.
  14. cyclone77
    Yeah and then you have low 20s just north over the northern half of lower-Michigan. Pretty impressive.
  15. cyclone77
    Euro would be a major sleet/freezing rain storm here, with perhaps a few inches of snow at the end. After such a long and dull period of weather I could get down with a good sleet storm.
  16. cyclone77
    Kind of feel the same about this area. Tomorrow's runs will be fun to watch come in.
  17. cyclone77
    12km NAM showed 2.70" of precip falling as freezing rain in southeast IA near Burlington. Even if 1/3 of that actually glazed up that would still be very significant. Luckily it only has us at around 1.5" of freezing rain lol.
  18. cyclone77
    Gee, thanks lol The amount of QPF being generated on many of the models is extremely impressive for Jan.
  19. cyclone77
    Very nice. That would have made for a nice time lapse with the big city lights lighting up the snow squall rolling in.
  20. cyclone77
    Tonight's model runs that followed the NAM had a tough act to follow to be sure. Wintry side of the storm seems very thread-the-needle like, so it's going to be a few more days before I'd feel comfortable about how things will lay out on the wintry side of the system.
  21. cyclone77
    Hooray, a storm thread! Hopefully me bashing this storm last night jinxed it in a good way lol.
  22. cyclone77
    These positive tilted/southern stream dominant systems always underperform with cold sector precip. Cold sector precip is narrow/fleeting where it occurs. Without a northern stream component to phase with this will be a non-event except for maybe a 25 mile wide area that gets a quick 2-3" of slop.
  23. cyclone77
    zzzzzz
  24. cyclone77
    Was thinking about starting a poll thread asking when will the next storm thread be needed/created. Could just set the over/under for Jan 25 I guess.
  25. cyclone77
    Wasn't keeping stats back then, but I remember that winter being very benign for this area. Come to think of it, just like this POS winter lol.
