2.9" snow total so far. Only light flurries. Perhaps i'll hit the 3" mark by the time this pushes out. Can expect the wind to do wonders with this very light snow.
Never seen this much sleet before. Just over an inch here so far. Ice pellets are so large that they are making small craters on the existing sleet as it hits.
The ice pellets are nice and large. Some measuring about 0.1". Coming down fast and hard.... and diagonally. Take your safety glasses out there because those things sting your eyes
I was supposed to get zrain transitioning to rain, but temp sitting at 28.8ºF. It's actually going down. Getting light snow now. Wondering if they're going to upgrade the southern KLOT CWA to an ice storm warning.
About 0.25" of sleet here. Is the system fighting dry air around the Chicago area? Reflectivity keeps dying down as it passes the radar to the north. Edit: Temp just dropped to 29.1ºF. Starting to see some flurries.
