RobB Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 6 hours ago, Snow____ said: I have never been so perplexed by an advisory in my life. I heard people at work talking about ice and I was confused. Last time checked it wasn’t even supposed to get below freezing tonight. Then I get on weather and see we were under an advisory 😵💫 and yet ILN themselves still don’t have us getting below freezing. Definitely an advisory out of an abundance of caution on the low chance untreated surfaces with temps at freezing or just below had ice. These would be in areas that are shaded from sun energy to have a shot at that. IMHO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wnwniner Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Night crews reporting only rain overnight in central Ohio, and our pavement sensors are reading right at 32-33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar66rus2 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Most of the Toledo area schools are closed today. My husband said the main roads were fine this morning in his way to work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MesoscaleBanding Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Seems the NAM nailed this one. Never really showed much of an icing threat for most areas & stuck to that solution til showtime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure some of that was CYA though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin BuckeyeGal Posted January 23 Admin Share Posted January 23 I appreciate the err on the side of caution approach with ice, even if it makes the weather offices look bad. Literally one degree here or there could've made this look like those videos coming out of the West yesterday. With that said, I hate 33 degree rain with a passion, so today can go away. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MesoscaleBanding Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 After close inspection, surprised to see my road is a sheet of ice...and some icicles hanging from tree branches 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 My wife nearly busted her bum in the parking lot of the dentist south of town in parking lot. Must be on an area that receives little to no sun. Driving not an issue but some walking obviously is in isolated areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUWx2 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Drive into work was easy, but most of my Delaware County based coworkers are WFH today, so it must be a little slick up there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cary67 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Some glaze on the driveway and sidewalks but things starting to melt. Looks like meltdown can commence with two rainers coming up along with torchy 1st week of February. Snowpack should be a memory soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpfalcon Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Untreated surfaces were pretty slick this morning, otherwise things were wet. All the school closings seemed a bit overblown to me, but we live in the age of CYA so I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowbar Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 We had a two hour delay, and walking to the bus stop was just wet. Wife said the roads were fine when she went to school at 5:45. IMO, the delay in our area probably wasn't necessary, but the kids got an extra two hours of sleep, which isn't a bad thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Hiramite Posted January 23 Moderators Share Posted January 23 (edited) It’s one of those days again that I have seen many times before. Area temps in the upper 30’s to low 40’s. At 4:40, as evening approaches, a light south winds roll over the snow covered hill behind the house, temps have fallen from the mid 30’s earlier to the low 30’s. Both thermometers currently reading 33. A reverse “chinook” if you will. Cool. Edited January 23 by Hiramite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
