So, uhhh......what's winter really like in the Chapel Hill area? We just bought land in Chapel Hill (out along Dairyland Rd) and we will be relocating there next summer. After the last 10 years or so of the arctic tundra of northern Illinois, we anticipate that winter down there is going to be a six month long autumn equivalent.

DKB appears to be in line for the southern wave. First wave missed well to the north-west.

The bigger issue is that WU has been absolutely terrible for the last couple years. Missing features, broken features, site errors, etc, etc.

I live in the middle of that significant corn crop. Surrounded by thousands of acres of corn. Oh, and no central A/C either. Just window units in the bedrooms. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

N9NAY - Waterman, IL I have never participated in a weather net, but I will listen to the local 2m repeater (WA9CJN - DeKalb) during storms. There's one or two guys who do some very limited regional storm chasing. Mostly localized situational stuff (tree down, water on road, etc)

One of these is not like the other.

This is super....we're supposed to leave DKB early Sat morning for a road trip to North Carolina for spring break. Our route follows the modeled storm path almost exactly through southern OH.

I'm not so sure. While snow blowing today, I got into some grassy areas, and unbelievably, the ground isn't really that frozen.

Yeah, looks like I finally need to get out and snow blow the driveway for the first time this winter.

Forget disappointing...WU has been complete [email protected]#$ for almost a year now.

Is the storm coming in a bit faster than expected? 18z GFZ seems to have shifted quite a bit to the east.

Already told the office I'm working from home tomorrow. I anticipate school will be closed.

It was pretty cold in Waterman last night. Not sure what the bank says for tonight.

Through IL, it is sure looking like Ottawa-LaSalle-Peru to Kankakee is going to be the main track of the snow field.
