DAFF Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Freezing fog is often a precursor of snow..... 7-10 days away. Sort of like a Mackerel sky and rain within 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Its a shame when hoar frost are our best winter pics of the season so far....sweet shot though....nice view! temps seem to be responding nicely despite cloud cover finally....up to 30 here in the brook after dropping down to the low 22 early this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Drizzle here this morning...little bit of icing, but not bad. Everything is so caked with salt that the roads were fine. Looks like drizzle straight through the weekend. Someday the sun will come back out. Rapid City, SD was 71F yesterday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 There was dense fog up my way this morning too. LOT was mentioning that smoke stacks in parts of the area acted to seed clouds this morning, hence the reports of snow. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=lot&storyid=105671&source=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 A strange incident occurred this morning. A large bright yellow orb appeared in the sky for about 3 hours this morning, which hurt my eyes due to its brightness. Thank God the semi permanent stratus deck moved back in. There were at least four wrecks this morning due to icy bridges in our county, an unusual occurrence since we've had no precip, just a heavy coating of frost.

Geos Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Looks like there will only be 3 days above 40° after all. Today was originally supposed to be warmer, but clouds have been holding strong all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWS Chicago did a short-write up on the event here. My co-worker mentioned that is was snowing steadily and sticking in Naperville this morning. Check out this graphic/photo from the NWS (sorry for the size): edit - just noticed Geos posted this link too. Oh well, still a cool little unexpected event.

Would have been awesome to be on the observation deck at the time. On certain days we've had smoke stack effect snow at work as well. Not as extreme as what they saw in Chicago with the larger smoke stacks, but we've had them coat the parking lot and surrounding areas with snow before. Here's a few shots from New Years Eve last year. You can see some light snow falling out of the smoke stack plume as I drove in to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of the most fascinating localized events I've seen in my time in the NWS. That +9c was observed at 850 mb and nowhere below -10 even in the subfreezing layer down low makes it even more fascinating. The nuclear cooling pond effect snow that we've had at least has occurred in arctic air masses with the dendritic zone to the surface typically. Just so happened that MDW was under 1 of those plumes for a while this morning - it was down to 1/4 mile -SN for a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
