Moosey2323 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 The main issue with this freezing rain is going to be anything that is elevated. Trees and powerlines are going to take most of the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees and powerlines are going to take most of the ice. That and with the wind with part 2 (Saturday), there's going to be massive power outages in the corridor with siggy to extreme icing. Icing stays southeast of Cedar Rapids by about 35 miles. Might get clipped by sleet on Saturday, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a shame to waste this incredible amount of liquid in January on marginal temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 ICON actually shuts off precip in quite a bit of IL for a while. Note that it only does snow or rain. Does not resolve sleet/freezing rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at sfc temps, looks like it’d have a rather significant area of icing in NW IL with quite a bit of the precip falling with temps below freezing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 12km NAM showed 2.70" of precip falling as freezing rain in southeast IA near Burlington. Even if 1/3 of that actually glazed up that would still be very significant. Luckily it only has us at around 1.5" of freezing rain lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Even in some of the areas that are mostly/all rain, going to be a mess of standing water turning to ice Saturday night/Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of that, although on a miniature scale, back on February 25 of last year, there was a frozen puddle right by the ramp out in the backyard. Some of the snow melted on February 23 of last year and then refroze as temps went below freezing. Wasn't paying attention to what I was walking on and slipped and fell and gave myself a sore back that lasted for 2 weeks. Not fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiTownSnow Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 What about this little weak L that's well ahead of this storm (tomorrow night/Friday) ? How may this impact us if it's stronger than advertised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Mind you a stronger system is going to work both ways, stronger WAA but also stronger CAA too especially with that massive high pressing in. The slower this system ends up the more time the high gets to press in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 GFS with a crazy ice storm. It's too bad there isn't more cold air to work with. In a normal winter, this would've been a nice snowstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
