Looking for some understanding. Got dark here about 25 minutes ago on the far NW side of Chicago near Lincolnwood/Niles. Streetlights triggered, I assumed something was about to drop, checked the radar and nothing. Got brighter, lights go back off. Then about ten minutes later wife at the office in Northbrook area texts me that its 'night time dark out there' but nothing showed on the radar. Anyone have Skilling's phone number?

Weeks in between wet vacuuming my basement. Ahh the joys of Chicago living

Basement flooding is always a treat

Terrible flooding on the far NW side of the city

Far NW side of Chicago and the drop in temperatures was nuts. Wind direction went from the south to a strong NW. Crazy roller coaster today

Thread worthy??

11/8-11/10 First Snow and Lake Effect Event

If any of this verifies in lakeshore areas around the city, the mess it'll cause will be off the charts. I lived in Cobb County GA during a early December snowstorm and it took down power lines across the area. The night of the snowfall was lit up by transformers blowing across the area -
Take that Kinshasaa! With Lee Zeldin at the helm of the EPA I'm sure we'll see more of this

Samsies but during 2nd grade girls softball. Ump didn't want to cancel, coaches overruled him.

Fall/Winter '24 Banter and Complaints Go Here

I'm truly sorry for what you and NOAA is going through. What that'll mean moving forward is catastrophic, and the administration could care less. We will all be less prepared for the disasters we face and of course in the aftermath we now know we're on our own. Unfortunately, the GOP reps and senators are afraid of the MAGA crowds they have lied to for years, the same people they used for votes are threatening them. Even if they had a shred of decency, they're cornered by extremists. So sadly I see this playing out until at least midterms. -
Just a reminder not to get too invested this season until flakes are falling. Just another fail in a season that has just been a dud. With regards to the schools, I think the timing of the storm and after school pick-up was what drove that decision. From driving through the North Side into Niles, the roads are atrocious right now, I can only imagine how many more accidents we'd see with bus stops and after school pick-ups ongoing. Plus they work a day or two into the school year for these things..even if it ends up being a turd duster
