STORM SUMMARY 1-30-13

The big powerful storm that produced rainfall amounts 1-2.5 inches across the area going back to the prior day, pulled down enough cold air on it’s backside to allow for a changeover to snow in the morning for Rockford and mid to late afternoon for the Chicago area. Snowfall amounts once again were disappointing as much of the Chicago area ended up with under an inch. Snow diminished to flurries by 9pm for much of the area and these flurries ran into the early morning hours of 1-31. Temperatures started the day in the 40s at midnight before falling to 32 between 2-3pm. By early evening, air temperatures were down in the upper 20s while surface temps began to slip below 32. Readings continued to fall steadily before lowering to around 20 at midnight. Since the system produced a lot of water and then some light snow,
Salting was required to not only to tend to the light accumulation but also for refreezing. Some operators needed to do a couple of applications of salt.
