That's one hell of a driveway. 

'bout a third the length of mine.

(I haven't even bothered to blow yet because too much wind still today.)

I don’t want to question your MIL’s observation accuracy... 

No need to...but I do. LOL

Absolutely pounding in sycamore atm 

Funny...my MIL in Syc says she's had hardly any. 

Still lots of sleet and FZR mixed in down my way. Fine grains not big flakes.

Unpopular opinion...I'm thinkin' north of 88/west of 355 is gonna bust low.

Pouring sleet just south of you in DKB 

RN just south of you outside of town.

Lots of drifting on N-S roads already due to wind picking up in DKB.

Why do all of the online national and regional radar options suck balls? I just want to put radar on a full screen monitor in my office and watch today' progression in motion.

wunderground.com: Stops updating after about 5 minutes

weather.gov: Doesn't seem to work at all

weather.cod.edu: No full screen mode, doesn't seem to depict precip type.

paraGFS really wants to hit us with the vortex, it has the hot hand so it's probably coming

I'll pass

The center of that bullseye is literally on my house.

I prefer night storms. No melting, no traffic. I’m going to walk down the middle of State Street on Saturday night at 11pm and there will be no one.

I remember when you could walk down the middle of State Street on a Saturday afternoon in June and you only had to worry about busses.

The times they are a changin'. My sons school district doesn't have a snow day today - they have an unscheduled e-learning day instead.

Am I seeing the radar returns right in N IL? Looks like the snow is just drying up around I-88 over the last hour. 

 

I was just outside feeding the animals and it's barely snowing at all.

Just starting here.

euro much drier

When my family was giving their predictions, my 12 year old kept saying we are going to get nothing. I told him that wasn't realistic and he finally relented and said 1"

I'm gonna owe him $10 if he verifies.

Thread has gone quiet. Maybe we're all relishing in the Packers' loss. 

Hate relying on lake effect/lake enhancement to make up for a less impressive synoptic system than progged. Can be so fickle.

T-20 hours and 30 minutes between posts.

@Spartman You do know that we all know how to go to Pivotal Weather ourselves?

This winter 20-21 - I'm surprised nobody is talking about a last minute left hook and this becomes a Madison-Sheboygan shocker.

Dec-Mar 2013-14 is the coldest on record for Chicago. In the global warming era to boot. The 82.0" measured is the 3rd highest in history. Really it was the 2nd highest, due to measuring snafus at ORD. Calling the 13-14 winter "decent" is the definition of insanity. Won't see another winter like that around here, for a very long time. 

In 2012, I switched my furnace from fuel oil to propane. Winter of 13-14 paid for the entire replacement in saved fuel costs.
