OKwx2k4 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Crossed the 32 degree mark and hoping I don't look back for awhile. May not be forecast to be really "warm" here, but a great break and glad to survive without tree damages. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Very slippery out there. Not quite sure how tonight will shake out locally. Temps are currently right around freezing. Possible that there is a small dip with loss of daylight or when precip picks up again, but that's not a given. The ground is going to be a disaster regardless, but just not sure the trees and powerlines will accrete as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Odd event this is. Unusually high background pressures all around with virtually no organized surface low to speak of. Because of that, winds will get pretty light in much of the icing area tonight into tomorrow. Can't recall a good icing event with winds so light. Maybe there's a reason for that, or maybe it is out of the ordinary but not impossible. Those light winds will really keep the surface waa to a minimum though. Warming will be driven more by the growing warm nose aloft and latent heat release from the raindrops freezing, along with some diurnal influence as we move through Tuesday.

Cfweather Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Maybe I’m confused by what you are asking? So I apologize in advance. But you have an advisory for snow and ice- so that’s accumulation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It Will also limit power outages. Not a lot of wind for tree branches to snap on power lines because of the weighting the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 We have finally switched to snow after getting a glaze of ice this morning. Models are not too bullish on accumulation... maybe an inch. 2 Quote season snowfall: 34.8" '22-23: 30.2" '21-22: 27.1" '20-21: 52.5" '19-20: 36.2" '18-19: 50.2" '17-18: 39.5" Average snowfall: ~30" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bud2380 Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 I had a half inch of slushy snow on my car when I left for work this morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 The snow did not last long. Instead of expanding throughout the precip shield like models predicted, radar shows it shrinking as the temp gradually warms.

Hawkeye Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 This was a big ol' dud. For days models suggested some decent snow this morning, but it just didn't happen. It appears there is some snow from near Dubuque to southern Wisconsin where the precip is heavier.

Actually since writing this it has become much more snow-like and then stopped. But it wasn't enough to stick anywhere there wasn't already snow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzcoat Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Gotta give NWS credit on this one- the mention of little to no snow was spot on. 1 Quote The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

OttumwaSnomow Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 21 hours ago, Cfweather said: Well the nws forecast was actually spot on. We had about half inch of rain, some of which was freezing rain. So was quite icy and slushy this am. And zero snow, so some short term models weren't inaccurate.

It absolutely feels warm here now. Glad to hear the quiet sound of my furnace not running so hard. Truly wanted to remark on how utterly dead all my grass and everything is now. That's one of the best cold stretches we have had here in a good while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
