There is an annoying shield around Fort Wayne
There was freezing rain throughout the state the last couple of days; but very little of it was able to penetrate the apparent weather shield surrounding Fort Wayne.
All day Wednesday, the storm to our west / southwest was sending bands of freezing rain ENE across Indiana … and into a strong, relatively dry, low level easterly wind. The bands began to weaken in the middle of the state, and some intrepid precip cells managed to make it to western Allen County. But absolutely nothing managed to make it as far as the city limits.
Overnight Wednesday and Thursday morning, the storm was more to our southwest and sending bands of rain / freezing rain in a more northerly direction across Indiana. The still strong, still relatively dry, low level easterly wind just wore them down as they advanced and again, few could make it past the southern Allen County line. We had a couple of brief showers in the early afternoon make it to downtown; but that was it.
Overnight last night, the storm had moved to our southeast, and it was sending bands of rain / freezing rain at us from the southeast. Around 11pm, one band managed to survive the trip and pushed through Allen County, leaving us with a thin glaze of ice on some surfaces (like my grill cover, trash can, and snow board), but no buildup was noticed on trees or anything that would pose a hazard.
COME ON ATMOSPHERE, IS THAT THE BEST YOU GOT! WHY DON'T YOU MAN UP AND SHOW US WHAT YOU CAN REALLY DO! I BET YOU CAN'T TOUCH US!
