Admin BuckeyeGal Posted February 23, 2022 Author Admin Share Posted February 23, 2022 We were supposed to reach 38 today and didn’t even hit 30. I have to believe that that will potentially affect ground temps, if anything. It also FEELS cold out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told all of my teachers to take devices home tonight in the event we have issues tomorrow. I think we get the kids here, but home could be sketchy based on the timing. I am glad my boss makes these decisions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceresistance Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) I'm very surprised that there is no Ice Storm Warning for Central & Northern Arkansas, up to 1 inch of Ice expected there. 4 minutes ago, BuckeyeGal said: We were supposed to reach 38 today and didn’t even hit 30.

If we do get the ice, it'll be interesting to see how the saturated soil impacts things... if at all. Like, will the soil be icy? Fun thought.

beaver56 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Definitely a shift south with the heavier ice accums in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayPSU Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 And GFS coming in colder too. They're obviously picking up on something with the 18Z run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not fun. I dont usually get concerned unless I start to get over that .25" threshold more towards .50".

Never got above 28° here today with a stiff breeze & full cloud cover. Cold air seems pretty entrenched at the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceresistance Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 The 2nd system will not affect my area at this rate on the GFS, but the Mesoscale models have other Ideas . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
