Clinton Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Good morning, full on ice storm underway down here. I have thunder sleet and frz rain, and a solid 1/4 in of ice accumulation.

Very poorly forcasted by the NWS and local news. Stay safe there Clinton. Hope you don't loose power and all is well. Thankfully, it wasn't to bad over here and all we got was a slight coating of ice but since temps have only been hovering around 32F so it doesn't look to bad. In the W/NW burbs its a much different story with a thick coating of ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 There is a lot of ice here in the west Michigan area. I had 0.64" of freezing rain it came down so hard that with the temperature here at 31 it more or less just puddled on the driveway and road (I think) anyway the drive way has a lot of slushy ice on it. The trees and power lines are covered. Looks like all schools are closed but not sure if that is for the ice or the power outages as it looks like about 45.000 or more are out of power this morning. The power is still on here but has flicked a few times. At this time there is just a mist falling and the temperature here is 31° the winds are calm and that should help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Dubzz Posted February 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Going to be very interesting to watch this storm develop. NAM, while weaker, wants to keep me in freezing rain the entire time. The GFS is much more of a mix, but it has trended ever so slightly cooler the last few runs. This will be one of those storms where just a few tenths of a degree can make all the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Dubzz Posted February 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Solid sheet on ice on the sidewalk and truck windows this morning. While the heavier stuff stopped early last night, there was freezing drizzle until the early morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like yesterday, none of this is showing up on radar. Weird. 12.7*F.Same here, it’s been snowing lightly here most of the morning with a light dusting on the ground. Nothing on radar except for a few echos developing way out to our west. Hoping we can scrape out at least a couple of inches of snow out of this system to cover up the brown grass, before the cold air really takes hold tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Dubzz Posted February 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 NAM continues to want to keep my area below freezing the whole time, with the worst of the ice coming tomorrow morning. Let’s see if any of the other models budge on that or continue to want to give me at least a little rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DVN has hinted at freezing drizzle tonight, and that website seems to support that. Wasn’t sure since the models on TT don’t show much. This website is super useful for a lot of things.

CentralNebWeather Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Hoping this storm can over produce.

CentralNebWeather Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 North Platte Twitter page just said snow isn't showing up due to radar overshooting. I guess I have never heard of this before. They say visibility is down to a mile in many places so the lack of snow on radar may be fooling people as they are driving.

East Dubzz Posted February 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Hmm... 12z GFS seems to have gotten ever so slightly colder again, now keeping me below freezing for a majority of the event. Has 0.33” of ice, followed by an inch or snow of snow on the backside. I believe both the 12z NAM & GFS keep me below freezing now. NAM is a little less on the FZR accumulation though, as I believe it brings in some sleet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
