  1. am I missing that this looks like a 1"-2" event? Which isn't crazy for early November. That said, if we get a snow cover the cold thereafter will be something to talk about.
  2. True, This was back when the Illini had a basketball team. Apologies.........
  3. I sure hope all this cold and snow early isn't a jinx on the main cold season. Although, it didn't matter in the late 70's. But those are the only winters I recall an early start that stuck.There I said it.
  4. ^ It's the day after Halloween and there is 4" of snow on the ground with temps in the teens. We are expected to be in the 30's and 40's for highs for the foreseeable future. Average temps for now are mid 50's. I've tracked 2-3 snow events this week. I'm normally not on this board until late November. Trust me, it's locked in.
  5. will certainly need to see an increase in rates if were to achieve some of the forecast totals.
  6. Ground is covered. Snowing at a good clip with big flakes. Looks like this morning is the real show around here. LOT hinting that Halloween event is looking a little less intense. Though, forecast for Halloween is still impressive given time of season.
  7. A decent measurable snow in May, and now the potential for a decent measurable snow on or just before Halloween. Not sure I've experienced such a short period between the season's last snowfall and the seasons first in my lifetime. And I'm not talking a windblown flurry, but rather tree bending, ground covering 3" or greater snowfalls.
  8. If I can put 5"-6" down in early May I'm a believer in anything.
  9. just decided to check in and see what the pre winter banter was. Good things seem to be happening. carry on..............
  10. As I said yesterday my feeling was LOT was going to get burned twice. April 14th storm blew up, and this one in which they bit didn't get the rates. Really just verifies that April snowstorms are virtually impossible to peg. But to say, "nothing impressive" about this is incorrect. I have never seen a snow or a forecasted snow amount of this magnitude in my lifetime this late in the season.That's 57 years.
  11. Heavy Sleet. Have cleared the trees of snow twice already.
  12. really starting to pick up in intensity. Very similar to the 14th now.
  13. A lot of proms and first communions this weekend. And i thought my kids got tough weather for those events.
  14. Given the rarity of a mid-late April accumulating snowfall I feel bad for LOT. They did not buy into the 4/14 event and got burned a bit. Would not be surprised that as they buy in this time things don't pan out the same way. Luck of the draw I guess. Either way, this last two weeks is for the "winters over" crowd that posts on December 26.
  15. ^ could be argued that given the leafing of the trees the hazards of even a 2-4 " wet snow warrants such an alert given projected wind speeds.
  16. based on RC's 1:14 aviation update I'm not sure they are going to completely bite on some of these model amounts. They still seemed more focused on the heaviest along the state line.
