  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Walking around on the snowpack here gives you the sense that it will have some pretty good staying power. Very dense with all the ice that fell on top of the snow. There's still ice on the trees as it didn't get above freezing here today.
  4. Picked up 0.7" of snow. Nice to see it look white out there finally.
  5. Hit 50 in MLI earlier this afternoon, 47 here. Light snow falling now and back down to 31.
  6. This evening's snows crap the bed right at the Mississippi River coming out of Iowa. Seasonal trends won't be denied lol. Cedar Rapids has a shot to break the 1ft mark for the season.
  7. It's now been over a month (November 24th) since our heaviest snowfall so far (0.5"). Hopefully we can break the 1" threshold sometime in January.
  8. It made me want to run down the street yelling merry Christmas everyone like Jimmy Stewart.
  9. Had some mood flakes blowing around under the street lights a little while ago. Nice touch for xmas eve night.
  10. Because when things are this bad futility potential is the only glimmer of excitement lol.
  11. Noon yesterday at MLI was at 60 degrees. Today at noon it's 13 with a wind chill of -4.
  12. Coldest of the season this morning with 7 degrees. Lack of snow cover is allowing temps to get a little "warmer" than DVN anticipated yesterday, as MLI is already up to 14. Some pretty nice squalls passed through southeast IA into west-central IL south of the QC overnight. Shows up nicely on satellite this am.
  13. New Euro follows seasonal trends. Iowa/Minnesota cash in while IL/IN twiddles their thumbs awaiting the next system.
  14. The point has 13 for a high for MLI tomorrow, so with today's record high of 63 it may be 50 degrees lower on tomorrow's max if they can get to 13 by midnight this eve. Pretty impressive change in conditions.
  15. Would rather have the main storm of course, but I'd be fine with a decent front-end thump to get us our first incher of the season.
  16. New record high today at MLI of 63. Hit 61 here. MLI hit 52mph earlier today. Been very windy lately.
  17. This morning's Euro snowfall forecast through the end of the year nearly perfectly illustrates mostly what we've seen so far this season. Illinois dead zone. Definitely a very frustrating start to the season to be sure.
  18. MLI and DVN both had peak gusts of 47mph this afternoon, had 46mph here. Burlington hit 53mph.
  19. If it ain't gonna snow I'm ready to mow.
  20. It would be a bit depressing if we didn't have our period of flurries to look forward to Wednesday night.
  21. DVN issued a wind advisory for parts of their northern cwa, but they need to include much more of their area. Getting gusts over 40mph already here, and the windiest time frame is still a ways away.
  22. Had a period of virga overnight. Mid-upper 40s with a fresh 40mph westerly breeze coming later today. A nice November afternoon indeed.
  23. Was in the IL QC earlier this evening. There's still snow on the ground leftover from last Saturday's snow even after a few days in the 40s. There's actually more snow leftover on the ground there than we've had all season to date here.
