Nice line of storms hitting from the southwest. Tornado warning in Shelby County. Winds are getting after it right now here

Not very often you see 60s in the sub in January, but here we are. 61 in Champaign, and a quality soak. Looking forward to a much needed pattern change.

First half of January is toast. The blistering hot start to winter has come to a screeching halt. Signs of a more active and colder second half of January though, we shall see. Pretty disheartening to be wasting peak winter like this.

Seeing this huge lull in the winter season after the hot start, really just puts into perspective how truly legendary the great winter of 2013-2014 truly was.

Tagged 50 today, the snowpack got completely nuked, the snowstorms are already a distant memory. The next big headline will be just how warm Christmas Day gets. Mid to upper 60’s?

Already down to -12 here

Wow yes, you’re right. Just checked hourly obs. I stand corrected.

-9 in Champaign with a windchill of -30

Call was damn near $ I measured 5.3” and just to my east there was a 7” jackpot zone. Roads were a complete disaster. Unfortunately the blistering start to winter comes to a screeching halt now, but amazing none the less!

Upgraded to WSW here

Rippin fatties in the paign. Call looking $.

Looks like a heavy band just south of Peoria

CMI jackpot today? Going 5.5” final call.

Back to back clippers to hopefully lay down 6-8” before the quick but intense arctic blast. The torch will not be denied. Looks like we will be starting 2026 with a clean palette.

So this is NOT our moment
