WBadgersW Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Despite it being above freezing, the roads are in bad shape. Just had a plow slide down a hill into my neighbors yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Paul Storm Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Getting dicey out there now. Steady freezing rain has made the sidewalk and driveway super slick. SE side of the metro getting a nice hit while the NW metro won't see anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Been around 32/33 here but still really bad. Milwaukee re-issued the WWA because pavement temps are still below 32.

Tom Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I was wondering why my back yard had so much standing water...NWS issued a Flood Warning for Cook, DuPage and Will counties early this morning when that heavy comma shaped feature went through last night.

jaster220 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 SO much lightning and thunder in Marshall this morning causing street flooding.

NEJeremy Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 We were forecast to drop into the mid 20s last night and it was 26 when I woke up. That being said, the rain here ended pretty early yesterday so the roads had a decent chance to melt and dry so I was surprised at them canceling. They announced it at like 1p too which is VERY early. I guess the mayor was pressuring them to make a decision earlier so they would know how they had to treat the roads for the buses.That surprises me. I doubt it gets below 32F in either OMA or DSM.

gabel23 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Well, with the ice storm officially over I can report I received .90" of liquid and up to .50" of ice accretion. The power remained for me throughout the storm but there was some minor tree damage around town. Here are some pics I snapped yesterday. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
