    We haven't had any real cold yet so you know it's coming for March and April lol.

    Definitely one of the longest cloudy stretches I can remember. We lost the fog/rime ice stuff the past few days, but the heavy overcast has remained.

    Still a good 6" of glacier here. Hasn't budged in over a week. Top 2" is almost entirely solid ice.

    Both the op Euro and parallel GFS show a system for the 17-18th period. Encouraging to see them in agreement in something around that time period. A glimmer of hope on the horizon?

    The 12z Euro had a nice clipper for northern WI/UP of MI late next week, and some snow showers and flurries for areas south of that.

    Another dense fog advisory tonight. The trees have been caked with rime/hoar frost for several days now. Lost some of it yesterday, but last night it came back in force with the dense fog. It didn't fall off at all today, and with more fog coming tonight it should only act to build it up even more. Pretty crazy stretch we got here.

    Lowest temp of the season so far here is only 5 above. No subzero temps in sight through mid month. Def saving money on the ol' heating bill this winter.

    I got an eye Dr. appt for 2/17, so this works out well.

    Yeah it's a big change from a few days back when every little model run was scrutinized for any little possible change. Now it's kind of like now what? Just give us something to track, anything lol. These long stretches with nothing are mind numbing this time of year. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I don't remember there being so many long periods of absolutely nothing to track for weeks at a time back in the "old days". Prob should have put this in the complaint thread lol.

    I can't remember hoar frost maintaining this long around here. Some of it blew off, but I'd say 75% or so remains. Was up by Clinton earlier and it was even better than here. Looked like 1.5"+ growth up there vs around 1" here. Should have dug my camera out today and took pics.
  12. cyclone77
    Looks like I woke up on Mt Washington this morning. Hoar frost of up to an inch grew on everything, even icicles.

    The admins need to add a "jealous" icon to choose from along with the weenie, like, etc lol.

    Looks like a snooze fest again through mid month. Looks like Jan may be like many of the past months where there's jack squat for weeks, but then a major event comes in at some point and gives a brief period of excitement. Clippers can be pretty boring, but I'd take a train of them just so we don't have to go through these long stretches of benign weather in the heart of the winter tracking season.

    There's a high likelihood of 6"+ snow in 12hrs or less in a portion of the ILX cwa. No advisories or anything other than dense fog advisory at present. EDIT: ILX did take the time to peck out a special weather statement though (after 3"+ has already fallen lol)

    Radar estimates over 0.3" of precip fell in the past hour around the Cisco area to the west of Monticello/Champaign. Likely 2-3" per hour rates there the past hour, and it continues.
  17. cyclone77
    Chambana getting in on a little action this eve. CMI was down to 1/2 mile in moderate snow a short while ago. Should snow well there for another hour or two.
  18. cyclone77
    Did a time lapse of the front tree changing colors through fall. Wanted the last shot to have snow on the ground, so I had to wait till this past event to get that last shot.
  19. cyclone77
    Glad to see you guys over-perform down there. Here's to more of those in coming weeks.
  20. cyclone77
    Yeah this glacier is def gonna have staying power. For snow with today's half inch we're at 6.8" for the season. If I counted sleet as snow like the NWS does we'd be at 8.6".
  21. cyclone77
    This storm sure turned out to be disappointing. 2-3" of snow was looking like a slam dunk and came away with 0.5", 1/3" sleet, and 0.2" of ice glaze. The positive was that the glacier already in tact was fortified. I've definitely had my fill of sleet for the season lol.
  22. cyclone77
    We actually flipped back to freezing rain and sleet the past half hour or so after about a half inch of snow. Must be some lingering warm pocket aloft back in this area, as DVN has been reporting the same.
  23. cyclone77
    It's about 6" or so. Even before today you could walk over the snow and not break through the crust and sink, that's how hard the top layer is. I'd imagine it's even more impenetrable now with today's freezing rain and sleet. we picked up about 1/3" of sleet again this afternoon. Not far from 2" of sleet in the past week. Snowing pretty hard right now, looks like a good dusting so far. Nice band moving through.
  24. cyclone77
    Pesky warm layer aloft continues to hold firm here. Still sleet, with some freezing rain as well. The 2-3" of snow is now looking like an inch or two if we can manage to change to snow in the next hour or two. EDIT: Finally starting to see some wet flakes mixing in now that it's getting dark lol.
  25. cyclone77
    Driving sleet here. The glacier for the ages continues to strengthen.
