Yeah could explain while the icing here was up higher where the wind was probably a bit more frisky. If dews would have been up closer to the temp we probably wouldn't have had any glazing at all given the marginal temps. Very interesting event to be sure.
-
Just had a brief downpour pass through. Up to 1.07" for the day.
-
Hopefully RC chimes in later with some met input on this.
-
Don't think I've ever seen it like that before. 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.
-
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"
-
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.
-
33 with light right here. Looks like around a half inch or so to fall in this area.
-
As we near midnight we have widespread 70s with decent humidity as far north as Oklahoma, and -20s and -30s just north of the US/Canadian border. You can definitely see why we have such a powerful synoptic setup in the making.
-
If I was in the ice storm zone I'd have the cams set up to do some time lapse action. Catch those trees slowly drooping/breaking. Would be a pretty sweet time lapse to be sure.
-
Ice misses by about 20 miles from here according to that. That probably means we should nestle right in the 33-34 degree range during the event. Definitely gonna be a miserable day tomorrow lol.

March gonna come in like a Lion and go out like a Viking? -
Kinda wish NCEP would fire up the old AVN model. Would bet money it was more accurate than the GFS has been the past several years.

12z Euro had a 969mb low going through Iowa next weekend, with it being primarily a rainer for most of the sub. Even though from a snow standpoint this winter has been beyond abysmal, at least it has been active for the most part. -
He's been too busy manipulating the space heaters into different positions around the palms to keep them evenly heated.
-
It will be more of a runny rain in CR as opposed to a freezing rain.
-
That graphic that showed a 90% chance at 18" there kind of cracked me up. A 90% chance at a 4" for northern IL would be like winning the lottery at this point lol.
-
That's def a bump south over n IL.
-
The models seem unusually consistent so far in the placement of the heavy snow swath from MN to MI. Why can't they be like that for us poor folks further south?
-
Looking like a 34 degree rainer for the QCA. Wish we could fast forward to May.
-
You can tell Hoosier's excited for this system lol
-
If we're not gonna get warm enough for storms I'll take a raging sleet storm. At least it'd be interesting.
-
Take it to the bank and cash it, this is money right here.
-
After yesterday's snow, Dubuque has 20.9" more snow this season than MLI. Pretty stark contrast between the northern DVN cwa and the central portion.
-
DVN slow to issue their final tally for MLI/DVN. Guessing due to their warning busting badly, again. Was under a warning here as well, but failed to reach even a 3"/advisory level event.
-
Pretty sad lol. We need Geos to move back pronto
