  1. One of these things is not like the other. Insanity this close to the event.
  2. Well the GFS and EURO are now together, high res is anything but
  3. Wind starting to pick up here, luckily all the ice is gone but there may be damaged branches that will find their way down.
  4. The models are so bad that the NWS is just moving to the "Magic 8 Ball forecast system". "Will we get snow?"
  5. I'm not sure what you do as a forecaster right now. Day after day prior to the storm we have excellent model agreement across the board showing a major, perhaps historic, storm. Even if you slow play the hell out of the messaging, eventually you have to alert the public to the potential. The modeling has been somehow horrendous but in lockstep.
  6. A good amount of melting has already occurred here, with many trees down to just a minor glaze
  7. My tippy bucket apparently froze over very early in the storm, so no idea how much liquid I received. My power has popped back on with 100,000+ still in the dark, so must have been an easy fix. Fog and temps above 32, let’s hope wE melt enough to avoid more power failures.
  8. Was that the storm that supposedly had reports of 5” ice build ups?
  9. Finished with .25” of ice today, trees and power lines down everywhere. Significantly more impactful than I assumed it would be
  10. Outside getting the generator started and it is eerily quiet with the occasional loud crashing of a tree branch coming down
  11. Like 2,000 individual outages too. Some folks are going to be without power for awhile
  12. LOT probably could have expanded that ice storm warning another tier of counties.
  13. Power outages are on the rise, 4,000+ out right now in IL
  14. Been holding at 31.7 on my backyard station since 7am. Any drop will not make things any better. Only positive is that it is raining heavier now which has slowed the accretion a bit.
  15. Wind starting to pick up, really seeing the heavy trees sway
  16. Definitely primed to get something dirty riding the warm front.
