King James

Awesome banter thread guys

If this morning is any indication of how our tax dollars are being spent here in the 312, it’s going to be a long winter of slick slippery roads.  It’s like they didn’t even try to work the roads, haven’t seen a single plow yet. 
 

what a city! 

Haven’t had this kind of feel to a day(s) before January  in many many years it feels like. Coming down at a nice wintry clip here in IKK with a bit of wind. 

GHD 1. Was living at the time about 11 miles due south of MDW and I feel like that was pretty much the epicenter of the beast. We had a roaring fire going before the storm started. Two cases of beer out on the back deck. And a couple of shovels 

As the storm started cranking up people came on down to hang by the fire and drink. We had legit thundersnow that got a reaction from everyone. 

I lived in a cul-de-sac and it was always plowed last so the whole block as just outside having a blast, marveling at the intensity of the storm.  Went to bed and woke up to find that it looked like I had never shoveled at all. Drifts up over car hoods and kids playing in the street 

Good times

Nice banter thread 

Can’t buy a soaking here in IKK. Crazy how dry it’s been 

Heading for Hoosier no?

Let’s go 

Feels like today is going to over perform temp wise here in EC IL. That sun it hot and it’s very humid out.

Since April 1st it has rained 24 of the last 36 days. The flip next week is truly remarkable, with zero precip in my forecast and July like temps.

I don’t even remember 2018 flip being this severe. Either way an entire week of dry and hot weather is fine with me. It’s been a miserable spring thus far.

 

Worst stretch of weather for our area that I can remember. Started a couple weeks before April 1st as well. I had two weeks off between jobs in late March and it was miserable then too. I remember being bummed having time off and the weather being so trash. Close to 8 weeks straight of cold rain and raw weather 

Crazy we didn’t get a spring this year at all 

Real soupy feeling real quick here once the rain ended in the IKK

This is absurd. 

Fwiw that’s how I see it as well. Winter to summer happens all at once lately and same with summer to winter. Two seasons, winter and summer, both last about 6 months now

70 seems like a stretch today.

Supposed to be 68 today here in the IKK. Currently feels like 55

5 straight weeks of trash weather. Quite an impressive run 

One of the worst two week stretches of weather I can remember. March is winter. 

Pretty perfect winter storm

Ripping now. Radar looks great. Going to be a good event.

Edit: Funny how I don't feel fully confident until the event has literally begun.

When Chicago crew lost this one they tried to cancel the storm for everyone

Looking upstream, report of 9.3" in Kansas City.

Pretty much what the RAP was showing I think

 Pretty much all snow here now at my house 

Still a mixed bag for me over along the IL/IN border but more and more snow mixing in as we go. Can tell things are going to be a mess
