Freezing Rain?

[jkaetz]

Just got a note from our daycare that they will be closing due to freezing rain tonight and tomorrow. I only see a little note about freezing rain tonight and nothing but warmer temps for the next 48 hours. Is this legit or are the media outlets using the weather to create a news story? I typically use Weather Underground for my info.

It's 28° and raining up here in Elkhart right now. I thought it wasn't supposed to start until later.

Heard the freezing rain is supposed to last until around 1pm tomorrow.

Reports of I70 shut down in MO already....this all depends on ground temps at your location when the moisture arrives

Air temp won't overcome ground temp until tomorrow afternoon in most of the state. Could be awful, could be bad.

I discovered my front porch and steps were covered with ice just a little bit ago. I noticed ole Waylon sliding and thought... that don't look right, wonder if that is slick or something. Then I had to try to navigate that while ole Waylon kept pulling on his leash as hard as he could trying to kill me so he could eat me.

Radar shows ice up north and a larger blob just out in Illinois right now.

Lotta warnings in my weather app, but it's also showing that it's 39 degrees here now.

App shows precipitation starting at 2:00am, with temps right at freezing then...

Last night's weather indicated from .1 to .2 inch in the Lafayette area. Co-workers in Peoria are iced in now with about 1/4 inch. I'm expecting it is legit, but won't be long lasting.

My weather map shows rain/ice starting after 8pm and stopping in the early morning. Most of it looks like it’s north of Indy.

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.

If only modern people could learn to drive

When I checked this morning before going to bed, looked like it wasn't supposed to move into the Indy area until around 6pm or so.
How awesome, that could make driving to work tonight interesting. Likewise driving home in the morning right as the morning rush gets started. Could be a long night

If only modern people could learn when to stay home.

Fixed that for you.

Every car in the parking lot at the shop has a thin layer of ice on it already. Thinking morning commute will be interesting

Just walked (slid) out to the mailbox and back. The driveway and sidewalk surfaces are glazed in ice. It could be rough out there tonight and in the morning.
