Absolute scenes in Iowa.

Video of the tornado moving through Little Rock.

Horrible scenes coming out of Little Rock.

Look at that little guy roaming through St. Joseph County!

I had written this one off as nothing more than a windbag this far east into Indiana but the 12z suite has me thinking there's a pretty decent chance of a spin-up or two in the area.

Went ahead and stole it from Twitter:

Nice rumblers this evening setting the mood.

Done following snowstorms.

Slick.

Excited to explain why I'm playing this in the newsroom.

Just watched a wall snow falling on one side of the street while I was dry and it quickly advance to my side of the street. Actually one of the coolest weather phenomena I’ve ever seen!

Lake effect is convective in nature. Full sun followed by heavy snow followed by sun. All within 15 minutes.

weatherbo going 2 b buried this weekend.

The 2” from this morning is gone but Lake Michigan is hard at work to replenish.

IWX thinks the best stuff will be just to my west.

At one point this morning we had about 2" of new snow on the ground in South Bend. But the sun came out and we're down to about an inch. Lake effect could drop a very localized 4" somewhere late this afternoon into tonight in SW MI/N IN.

In Mount Prospect tonight and measured 1.2” on the grass.

I’ll be riding this one out in the Des Plaines/Mt. Prospect area. Liking this spot.

GFS still juicy for those of us along the I-90 and I-94 corridors.

Having this snow fall mostly during overnight hours should help a bit with accumulations.

Another storm riding the rain/snow line only to end up with like 3" of slop.

First rumbles of the year!
