Same here in downtown Dekalb. Don’t think it’s going to be pretty once 40+ gusts work their way in

Noticing any power issues by you?

Wouldn’t be surprised if most everything in that area is going to be a disaster by morning, can only imagine with another 6ish hours of this.

About .2” of ice in DKB on top of about .7” of snow/sleet that fell earlier. Was surprised things are as icy as they are, as it wasn’t too bad just a couple hours ago. Certainly an interesting night ahead

GFS is a bit further south, keeps areas near/north of I-80 mostly/all snow

2 ice storms in 7 days but I will say I think this one has the potential to be worse, with the last storm being a shorter duration/heavier precipitation event limiting accretion.

You won’t see a map like this for quite some time at 4:55pm in Chicago..

It’s almost unfathomable at this point

Was just gonna say, the fog late this week/ early next week is gonna be pretty bad at times.

Set at the default 10:1 ratio or did you change it?

New NAM is quite a bit south. Here we go again!

Also the last few systems they’ve played catch up big time leading up to an event

Think LOT will have to extend warnings south a tier?

03z SREF ticked south too a decent amount. If trends continue warnings may need to be extended a county south
