It looks like Omaha gets a decent dump. I’ll follow this thread here because it’s got the best info. Locally they are talking 11”-13” here in far E Nebraska.
okay, so I am from Chicago, just relocated to Fort Worth last October......
I am so not looking forward to this. (I should be used to it, though, right?)
Right now, IMBY, sun is out, 33 degrees.
Storms were kind of impressive last night. Much stronger than I anticipated. We picked up 1.5" of rain, and some basement seepage last night. Hoping for better today.
Last storm I had to endure with a power outage. Com Ed was replacing a pole at the end of my block. It was planned maintenance. Despite the inclement weather, they replaced it anyway. 10 hours, no electricity. I am hoping the snow for Saturday is being overdone, but I have a feeling it's not.
I have been watching this one for the last couple of days. Looks to be a rainer for NE IL and etc, but, given it's apparent strength, worth keeping an eye on.
I will take all snow, can't do another "rain to snow"..... the cold that settles in afterward is going to freeze everything solid again. No thanks. the last one was bad enough
slushy mess on the roads and sidewalks, and the grass is covered without an inch or so I think. Hearing reports of IDOT pulling plows off the roads until conditions improve. Also hearing Route 38 is closed west of DeKalb (confirmation?). Some schools in my area closing also.
