cyclone77 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 33.0°/32° here currently. Seems like most of the moisture is heading NE/ENE. Just skirting by. Yeah some of the models end up breaking the deformation side of the storm completely off from the main slug of moisture this evening, leaving a weird dry slot. Almost like two separate storms.

Hoar_Frost Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Went out to pick up a pizza about 45 minutes ago. The less treated roads are starting to get a bit icy -- hard to say if that's due to accretion from the rain that's currently falling or due to re-freezing, but the latter probably isn't far behind if the former is occurring.

Justin Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 that dry slot is really punching northward through Eastern Kansas... that better start filling in over the coming hours or we are going to have some problems achieving the snow totals being forecast currently. Cyclone...on satellite it really is starting to appear as two separate systems, I'll be honest it really does... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Yep its evident on some maps. Im still hoping the cold air makes a big enough push down to the lake. ZR is overrated. I was just outside trying to enjoy it. Beh. It ain't no snow. In fact, I think pellets are more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Winds turned onshore a few hours ago and were up to 35 now... Should be short lived. The storm will start to drop those 850mb's and squeeze out that boundary layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just something somewhat historical happening. So so far it sucks to be sitting on the sidelines. The freezing rain has made some progress the last hour, only maybe 500 meters away judging by some maps haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Plain rain here. I take that back. There's some accrual on trees, but that's about it. Temps are marginal and precip rates are too high for much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMADreamer Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Loud outside. Tree branches making very odd creaking noises One of the most interesting "weather" experiences I've ever had was probably 10 years ago or so now when we got a pretty hefty ice storm and all day and night I could hear limbs falling from trees. It was this odd muffled crashing sound as they'd hit the ice below. Almost what I envision a bomb would sound like from miles away. That night I opened my bedroom window for a while and just listened because I figured it might be something I'd never experience again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxman1952 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Officially at the airport, 28.9°. Some mix here and colder than I think they expected, by a degree or two. Hoping they are wrong on the amount of ice expected for me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot more ZR than we had expected today along the I-55 corridor in central Illinois. Freezing Rain Advisory has now been extended until midnight--and maybe longer. Hasn't gotten above 32 here in Springfield as had been expected. Lots of icicles on the trees and powerlines now--and just had one of my friends report on Facebook that she just lost her power a short time ago. The roads seemed OK (at least the main ones) during the day, however. One of the latest storm reports from ILX--reports of trees bending at their office. Would not be surprised if ice-related power outages become more numerous than thought in this area tonight.
