  1. My first Snow Squall Warning was just issued. I’m technically on the edge of the warning and the squall looks to miss me to the east. Still a snowy day with a DAB+
  2. I drove through fog like that once after a big snow in Jan. 2008. Temps shot into the 50’s with a foot of snow on the ground. Visibility had to be 25 feet on State Road 2 and I wasn’t sure if I should maintain the speed limit and risk plowing into a stopped vehicle or slow down and risk getting hit from behind. It only lasted about five miles but that was scary af
  3. Impressive squall line by December standards in Illinois rn
  4. Feels like spring storms should be on the way.
  5. Picked up 1.5” from the lake. Still getting occasional snow showers but it’s compacting faster than it can accumulate. 4” snow depth. Savoring it before the torch.
  6. DAB from the system this afternoon. We’re already seeing some streamers come off the lake. That should get better organized tonight. Accumulations should stay in check at around 3”. IWX opted not to go with a WWA, despite GRR doing so with the same accumulation expected. GRR says to snow+v cold=travel troubles. I have to agree.
  7. Lake enhancement should bump totals to 3-4” here for clipper #2.
  8. It’s lake effect raining now. I hate it. Makes me angrier than Beavis during an El Niño winter.
  9. Kinda rippin now. Too bad temps are marginal.
  10. It’s not officially winter in the Midwest until we get a good Beavis rant . Nothing we can do to control the weather but it is frustrating.
  11. Snow mixing back in now. The lake effect squall forecast on the HRRR looks impressive this afternoon. Should rip for a couple of hours.
  12. Took a blizzard to shut down Valpo in 2007. Only weather-related day off I got in four years. Times have changed.
  13. Still have a snow depth of about 3”. Some light to moderate lake snow potential today and Sunday before the torch.
  14. Kind of shocking to see clippers take the exact same track back to back.
  15. Man, I love driving through WV in the summer. I can only imagine how gorgeous it must be with snow!
  16. What limited research I've done on those winters shows they started with northwest flows and clippers laying down a good snowpack before bigger storms came in from the southwest. Would be epic to cash in on the same this season.
  17. HRRR might be overdoing the lake-effect, but it's putting down 2-3" on Wednesday/Wednesday night out this way. Would obviously take it.
  18. Snowpack will take a hit, but we need to eventually get out of the northwest flow pattern. Maybe it will set up a big dog for the New Year.
  19. Picked up 0.2” of snow overnight. Nice turd duster before the rain moves in tonight.
  20. It’s like the Arctic Circle out there. I love it.
  21. Ended at 2.7”. A little more than 9” on snow depth. Nice refresher.
