    We got 9" from the Dec 11, 2000 storm here...was forecasted for lower amounts due to mixing that never materialized. And then 2 days later we got 6" with another storm. Thereafter, like Hoosier said, it seemed like it snowed every day that month. It was quite a wintry scene through the end of that month. And then winter ended. Didn't get warm, but we went bone dry.

    Trailing band over us now, cotton balls falling. Best will be just to the north of here, but whoever gets under these bands for a time will do relatively well.

    Dec-Mar 2013-14 is the coldest on record for Chicago. In the global warming era to boot. The 82.0" measured is the 3rd highest in history. Really it was the 2nd highest, due to measuring snafus at ORD. Calling the 13-14 winter "decent" is the definition of insanity. Won't see another winter like that around here, for a very long time.

    Nice band on radar, just missing here to the north by mere miles. Looks like whoever gets under that, wins the derby in the LOT CWA. Think Hoosier has a good chance. We did better than expected here yesterday morning, so guess we can't win them all.

    Some real nice bursts of snow here this morning. Snow globe at times. Everything covered up. Regardless of real cold air, wintry appeal the next couple of days. Better than nothing....

    Parachutes. Really coming down at the moment. Kind of a fun little event.

    Snowing here. So we’ve completed the winter trifecta today.

    Lol, I saw that. I’m sure Chad’s all over it...

    Nice pic. Was just out in the back listening to the trees crack in the wind. Not comforting.

    Finally made it to 32˚ here at my house, a couple of hours ago...and been that way since. No melting. Of course, just read LOT's AFD and they said all the ice melted south of I-80. Just took this shot of the gf's car. Totally encased.

    What's up Josh. Don't have as much time anymore, but when things get interesting, I'll stop in.

    Photo of my weather station.

    Today, yes!

    Everything encased in ice here. Started as some pretty heavy sleet this morning, then went to freezing rain about 8:30. Trees are creaking with every movement of the wind. Temp is 31˚ at mi casa currently. Actually got a real weather station now, lol. Even with probably getting to or a bit above freezing this afternoon...tomorrow is going to suck. Alas, hoping for a little snow here as this thing exits stage right.

    Very large limb down off one of my trees. Just missed the house, thankfully. Had a brief uptick in big winds, along with a close lightning strike. Not sure which one got the tree. Pool has a ton of leaves too. Rest of the neighborhood is littered with your usual high wind small limb damage.

    lol, I'll own that. All good here though. Was put under a FF Warning at 4:30 yesterday...and ended up with 0.25" total. To my south and southeast, not so good though. Saw a report of 7.76" from Kentland IN. That's a lot of water, in a short amount of time.

    Wouldn’t be summer without Hoosier calling for drought and endless heat. He’s the summer version of winter JB. This dry stretch has been fantastic though. Keep it coming.

    Trees down on my route. And not just small trees, soMe big ‘ems going down. Couple of streets closed because of them. This is kinda dangerous.

    Tired of it. My neighbors have servo pro over cleaning their basement. Dumpster in the driveway because they had to throw everything away. And we’re doing it all again. Enough is enough. IKK can’t take anymore. It’s disgusting.

    Yes

    Welp, time to get over to my parent's house and starting pumping water...again. IKK going to get absolutely crushed...again. Over and over. Year after year. This weather freaking blows.

    Total and complete devastation here. Going to pull an all-nighter to try to save my parents basement. Thought installing the sub pump in 2015 would help, but this has overwhelmed it. This is sickening. So f*cking tired of this, year after year...
  24. Chicago WX
    We pray

    Nope, can’t handle anymore. Another 2-4” will pretty much finish things. Juggling working 12 hour days and helping my parents suck water out of their basement is tiring. And they have a sump pump. This is going on 6 years of unprecedented rainfall in IKK. Need a drought badly...
