Chicago Storm Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Had mostly rain here, but there was a light glaze for a short time on a few colder surfaces this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 The roads and sidewalks have iced over. I nearly slipped in the parking lot at Parkdale Plaza. Flash freeze? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Moderate to heavy rain here for about 20 minutes. 32F though, not quite enough for freezing rain, although theres a lot of water around which could freeze up quick if temps drop over night. Â EDIT: My mercury thermometer is now showing just below freezing at 31F, so anything else that falls tonight should ice up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Sleet storm out there right now with the temp hovering just below freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 MKX's FRA has been extended for the third time today (until 8pm). I can imagine the roads are not pretty in the areas that are getting trained on by freezing rain/sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Was out finishing up some Christmas shopping, haha. But in the last hour or so, all the puddles have begun to freeze up and theirs been some light freezing drizzle as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mississaugasnow Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Wow what a difference going on throughout the region. Im still sitting at 1C and just mist/light rain. No icing or slippery spots here south of the QEW. If you guys don't mind, whereabouts are all of you in the GTA. I know Harrisale is dundas road region. It will be good to know during this event because I feel like GTA will have varrying degrees of temperatures/precipitation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Thunder reported in Grimsby, ON. Nice. Â In Hanover, we had periods of freezing rain on and off. The precip. around 11:00 am looked strange, between small snowflakes and rain. It was coming down as fast as rain but was white and dense (not ice pellets, sleet, etc.). As of a few hours ago, got some more freezing rain with the tops of cars being glazed and the snow. Will post until power goes out if and when. Can't believe this could be worse than April 12 2013. I had a feeling we were going to get another soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thermometer has a reading of -1.4C currently. Your area must be in a really cold sector currently, damn. Sidewalks, roadways and trees have a layer of ice on them. Almost fell like 5 times today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrisale Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 You guys are a bit colder than me. I'm at 31F right now, not too thick a sheet yet but its been freezing drizzle the last hour. No radar returns but its accumulating slowly and in these very marginal freezing situations I think a freezing mist can be more effective for accretion. Â Went for a walk, it was like strolling through a cloud, I was soaked. Tops of 15 story appartment buildings were not visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Was a mixture of -zr and -rn here. 0.26" of liquid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Not sure how much precip fell here, since some of the measured precip reported in my gauge came from the last of the melting snow in the gauge. I'm guessing a tenth or so of rain, followed by around a tenth of glaze. Basically a non-event here, but was enough to cause many issues on area roads.
