I believe it. We don't have any thundersnow down here, and we're a county below Roseville, but there's got to be 3-4 inches down out there. Erring towards 3.

Updated blizzard warning from the NWS I missed...and lo and behold. Remember how I called 6-10 inches? They get it now. URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL 530 PM CST Sun Nov 25 2018 ...Major Winter Storm Today and Tonight with Blizzard Conditions in Portions of the Area...

Come on, come a bit further to the south!!!

Galesburg, eh? Nice to see ya, neighbor. I'm in Macomb so yeah! Don't travel down here, obviously.

They've shut down Highway 67 in Good Hope due to whiteout conditions, which means no one can enter Macomb easily. Thank god.

Jesus...that's really awful to hear ): why are people still trying to travel out there...I don't understand.

But it's also about 10 miles south of where any NWS people had predicted it over here, and I'm so, so happy about it.

A picture from the first hour of full on snow...

I don't know. We just hit a 2nd 46 mph gust here.

I'm refreshing the page waiting for it to come up, will post as soon as I see it if someone doesn't beat me to the punch.

The fact that the HRRR has us right between a band of either getting 11 inches or 5 inches is killing my anxiety. What a day.

For reference, here's the new HRRR. It actually gives Macomb a bit more snow.

It's very wet and windy now, snow is a very wet snow. Got a grad school cohort member up on the WI-IL border and basically is showing us footage of the disaster up there. It's gonna get pretty close to that now. The fact that the snow-rain border seems to have stalled a bit to the southeast of us, I think the NWS would be well served to extend the amount here down to where the stalling is occurring. Edit: Observations got a gust at 46.

Good luck guys! Gg Euro on the placement. Now...will it be accurate in amount?

This is what ours is saying and I still think it's off a couple inches in the Macomb area since we're having snow pop the ground now. 7 inches would be okay, but I feel 8-10 is within range.

Yeah, I just checked out the radar, I can see that...I'm a broadcaster and we look at areas from Quincy up to Peoria and Burlington, so like, I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's headlines. This is going to be so much fun for me...a dream come true, really.

Let's just take a second and look at the line between blizzard and tornado warning. Incredible.

....this is incredible. I'm so happy I've gotten the chance to watch this. So I just went outside...it's like a 70, 75 percent snow, 25-30 percent rain mix out there. And since it's changing now, that might be worth another inch of snow, to be honest...

https://w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KMQB.html You'd think, but this is Macomb.

Last look at the observations had 33 with light rain and gusts up to 38.

And also, trust me...I know EXACTLY how you feel...

It's entirely possible, but the forecasts in the area have most of the snow dump during the night anyway, so if we get any snow before 6 pm, I mean...that's additional snowfall. Here's the map.

Rain changing to snow in northwestern McDonough and northern Hancock counties. Here she comes. Give me your best shot, winter!

Weirdly, we've had no closings yet either. All we've seen down here is over in Missouri, they're starting Hannibal-LaGrange late. People really have not been prepared enough for this storm...

McDonough. I'm down at WIU. Really, really worried about travelers. 40 mph winds are nothing to mess with.
