  1. WUnderground says -21 Thurs morning at my location
  2. I've gotta think the moderation start showing up soon......please?!
  3. My in-laws used to live at Indy and Carrol (In the shadow of the old bridge)
  4. Finally got out to snow blow. Driveway was probably 80% blown clear and 20% 8" wind packed drifts.
  5. Personally, I like to see either a nice sunny 34 degree day or a touch of rain to stop the constant drifting across my driveway.
  6. Don't forget tomorrow is the anniversary of the all-time low temperature in Chicago. -27F 1985 I was in 8th grade, but for some reason I don't remember it at all.
  7. That's a pretty strong indicator that it's a cascade failure in the model data. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
  8. Don't count your chickens before they hatch? There'll be time enough for counting....when the dealin's done? Never trust a fart?
  9. Oh, you asked for a lightning storm? July 13, 2015 https://photos.app.goo.gl/iiP8KvTGLkzrMFZaA
  10. I forgot one of my favorite ones: You also need a pretty serious blower for serious drifts:
  11. @King James asked for some perspective on winter storms out in the rural areas of northern Illinois.... Jan 12, 2016 Jan 27, 2014 Feb 3, 2011 (GHD I)
  12. I can tell you that GHD I & II were absolutely incredible out here in the open farm country of DeKalb.
  13. I am expecting disappointment for everyone west of PA with some exceptions in OH
  14. 12z is also casting doubt on that cold spell next week.
  15. A dead German mathematician showing up would be impressive.
  16. That would set records in all 48 states I think.
  17. Superb here today too. We went to the Morton Arboretum today and when we left, there must have been at least a hundred cars waiting in line to get in. They were raking in the cash today for sure.
  18. It's weird....I was 27 and living within 10 miles of my current location and for some reason, I have no memory of this storm.
  19. During the November blizzard, I discovered that the tractor I use for the snowblower needs about $1k of work in order to run the blower. I have no idea if I should take it in to the shop or not.....especially since this is my last winter up north and I am unlikely to ever use the blower again.
  20. After that, there will only be 7 weeks of met winter remaining.
  21. I'm still unsure how to interpret statements such as "cold" in the Triangle. Cold to me is 7-10 days of zero degrees F with night time lows in the minus teens or even twenties. I suspect the cold you are talking about will feel like spring or autumn to me for the first two or three years after we move.
  22. Yeah, we consciously chose someplace that still has four seasons, just not the death cold of the last decade in the northern midwest.
  23. Want to trade? We're moving from northern IL to the Chapel Hill area so that we can get away from the uninterrupted subfreezing temps.
