 I'm wondering if that is the same thing that will happen here. They actually closed DTW airport due to icing right now

I am also curious what ground cover will look like 24 hours from now. I really really do not want to go into the deep freeze without snow on the ground.

REA FORECAST DISCUSSION  
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE, IL  
856 PM CST TUE JAN 22 2019  
   
UPDATE  
  
856 PM CST  
  
NO BIG CHANGES TO GOING FORECAST PLANNED THIS EVENING, JUST A BIT  
OF FINE TUNING TO TEMPS AND PRECIP TYPE. CURRENTLY, THE RAIN-SNOW  
LINE IS FAIRLY CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH I-80 WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY   
OF FREEZING RAIN REMAINING. CONTINUED WARM AIR ADVECTION FOR THE   
NEXT FEW HOURS WILL PROBABLY RESULT IN THE RAIN-SNOW LINE LIFTING   
A BIT FARTHER NORTH, ESPECIALLY ACROSS NE IL. DESPITE THE BRIEF   
RESPITE IN PRECIP, THE WINTER STORM WARNING AREA STILL LOOKS ON   
TRACK TO GET ANOTHER 3-6" OF SNOW OVERNIGHT WITH TEMPS EXPECTED TO  
REMAIN PLENTY COLD ENOUGH TO ACCUMULATE.   
  
REGARDING HEADLINES...  
  
GROUP OF COUNTIES SET TO EXPIRE IN A FEW MINUTES LOOKS REASONABLE.  
KENDALL, NORTHERN LASALLE, AND NORTHWESTERN WILL SHOULD CONTINUE  
TO SEE SNOW FOR A BIT LONGER, BUT WITH TEMPS NOW INCHING UP JUST  
ABOVE FREEZING, ACCUMULATIONS SHOULDN'T GET OUT OF HAND DESPITE  
THE BRIEFLY HEAVIER BURSTS OF SNOW OCCURRING. SHOULD BE ABLE TO  
ALLOW COOK AND DUPAGE TO EXPIRE AS SCHEDULED AT MIDNIGHT AS WELL  
AS RAIN/SNOW LINE INCHES NORTH AND TEMPS CLIMB A COUPLE DEGREES  
ABOVE FREEZING ENDING THE MEANINGFUL ACCUMULATION RISK.

Minus the optimism.

I think there are quite a few optimists on the board (myself included) so it is nice to have someone to ground us which most often than not aligns with the ultimate outcome. 

*This message was paid for by Chicago Storm :D

 

Jokes aside, thank you all for your contributions and knowledge shared! :thumbsup:
