Freezing Rain?

[Hatin Since 87]

8/10

Gave an extra point for the casual pull in at the end.

They told everyone at work to take their laptops home tonight in case it gets bad enough for them to tell people to stay home tomorrow. Haven't seen that notification yet though.

Misty and moist in downtown Fort Wayne at 5:00pm.

I'm ready for a French Toast Party!

Wife went out to trash can. Said driveway is nothing but ice

 

[DoggyDaddy]

No precip here in Indy yet, at least not at our place.

Going to be a fun three days as I'm traveling tomorrow through Thursday to the Detroit area, Toledo, Findlay and then back home. Ugh.

Hopefully the roads are treated enough...

The girls are awaiting the news of school closures or at minimum a delay.

North end of the state, raining all day. 32 out now and supposed to have rain for another 24 hours. Roads are fine. Vehicles are getting covered, parking lots and sidewalks are deadly.

If it's just ground temperature freeze, at least it won't be breaking trees and pulling down electric lines. Traffic will suck, of course, but small blessings and all that.

I heard a weather guy this afternoon say they expect everything "at 2 meters and above to be above freezing. So little chance for downed power lines and such. Only ground will be frozen and likely only untreated surfaces will ice over badly. " (indy area)

This is a visibility map for Wednesday morning. The pink color means less than a quarter mile to almost zero visibility. This will start tomorrow and go through Wednesday at least.

Hit freezing rain in Columbia, MO on I 70 last night about 2200.
I could maintain about 60mph all the way to KC. Trucks and cars everywhere in the ditches.

I am doing 50-60 power diverter locked in butt puckered and trucks were passing me like it was a summer day.

Note many truck drivers don’t even know when that button is used.


Pro tip : If you don’t see spray from tires and they appear dry it’s bad, might wanna stop.


Today coming back home lost count of vehicles in ditches, it looked like the highway of death in Iraq.

Gotta love our INGO professional input...

Everywhere I went around Btown today was wet or white from brine sprayers. I could hear my car rusting...

What my pup looked like going out tonight

My dog went out and was running in place like a cartoon character.

Closures and delays coming in, but not our school system yet, they always wait until the last minute. You are dressed and walking out the door and then they call it.

I remember the wifes first year teaching, not one closure, not one delay. She was so mad.

 

[d.kaufman]

Called school in my district about a hour ago

The only closure I remember growing up in FWCS was the blizzard of 78. Never remembered a delay. Lester Griles relied on WOWO’s Earl Finkel’s forecast and the fire escape data. Walked to school uphill (both ways) in the snow. Snowflakes!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Looks like it's all rain for us here in Indy.

I bought a new vehicle a couple months ago. I think I cried a little when I looked at it after driving back and forth from Indy all last week.
