Chicago Storm Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Still raining, but not freezing anymore with a temp up to 34 now. Backside of precip area will be moving in shortly. Gonna finish with close to 0.15" ice accrual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Perry Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Fortunately the temp here is 34~35° even though local station says 32°. Regardless it looks we will stay just warm enough here for rain throughout the night. Lightning off to the NW and SW of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a mess out there. It must be neat to experience a zr thunderstorm. Yeah I need to get an old fashioned manual gauge for a backup for situations like this. Radar estimates between 0.50-0.75" fell from the QC right up the I-88 corridor. To be honest I wasn't all that excited about this event, but it turned out to be a fairly memorable event. 12hr radar estimated QPF. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun little event, icing potential really was knocked back by rainfall rate. That level of moisture spread over a few hours would have been quite the ice storm, but tropical style freezing rain in February is a solid fallback.

Hoosier Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Earlier was the hardest I've seen it rain at 32-33 degrees since at least 12/28/2015 and maybe longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppsRunner Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 We've picked up a glaze of ice and a trace of sleet so far, but it's still icy. Round two is looking like it could be a heavy burst of snow tomorrow morning/afternoon across Iowa, though the NAM isn't fully onboard yet. The rest of the models look good to at least get the grass white again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Based on reports from LOT, it looks like there was a band of about .10-.25" ice west and north of Chicago. Somebody in Dekalb reported .25" and the Waukegan ASOS had 0.28" as freezing rain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we had an extended burst of sleet at some point, so secondary roads were an iced over slush mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Another ice threat for some areas tonight. Might be a decent NNE/SSW axis that runs up around DBQ as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterStorm294 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Ended up with ~0.10" of ice, along with probably .75 of sleet. Based on power outages, it looks like GRR had more significant ice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 A few thunderstorms are rolling through eastern Iowa this afternoon. I saw lightning and heard several rumbles, but the storm passed to my north. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Had t storms on occasion overnight Tuesday night here in central IN. First I've noticed this year. Waiting for another round tonight and tomorrow as the WF retreats and the cold front approaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeselandSkies Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 MKX's forecast for Madison tonight! Quote Freezing rain, possibly mixed with sleet. Some thunder is also possible. Patchy fog before 7pm. Low around 26. East wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New ice accumulation of 0.1 to 0.2 of an inch possible. Little or no sleet accumulation expected. Let's keep the streak of cold seasons (November-March) with at least one thunder event going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Smith Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Will this turn over to snow in WI and u.p. MI by Thursday? Low continues to deepen and cold air wraps around it. Looks like heavy LES potential for sw MI on Thursday night into Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Very slippery, icy morning here. The ice hung on the trees until late in the day. Now just wet and damp out. My area was almost all freezing rain, whereas to the north there was a crunchy coating of sleet. The ice accretion was similar to the Apr 15, 2018 ice storm. We rarely seem to get ice storms anymore, so unusual to get 2 in less than 1 year. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 1.1" of sleet and 0.13" of ZR at YYZ on 0.66" of precip. Those two p-types need to learn from their brother snow on how to be more efficient. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The temp hasn't been any warmer than 32 all night, but it looks like the rain that fell didn't freeze. Not only that, but the ice on the trees has also mostly melted/fallen off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing your good for another 20 inches or so before St. Paddy's Day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 We didn't get a ton of precip out of this, but a nice batch of freezing rain did pass through for a few hours this morning, laying down a decent glaze. A couple hours ago the temp began to crash and a band of sleet/snow moved through, with strong wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_4184 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 About to get real over in my neck of the woods real quick, .3 -.4 tenths of ice, with 35mph winds then 4-6" LES tonight. Radar lighting up just to my SW, roads going to be horrible by the time I get out of work. Did get my generator gassed up/oiled ready to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Guess who's about to get some Thunder-Ice! Radar looks legitly like a small summer squall except it's mid-winter and freezing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Going to get interesting around here. Temps forecast to drop as much a 50 degrees in the next 12 hours and there's water everywhere, lots of it. Currently at 60. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
