33 and plastering underway in Huntley.

edit. 32

Rolling northwest through Schaumburg. Temperature dropped from 40 to 36 within about five minutes of getting into the snow band.

Nice to see the Watch up. Point has 4-8 for Thursday night. Snow day Friday would be fun.

School district closed for a second day due to power outages still. Damn. 

Power still out at the school in town.

Family just up the road still out as well. Estimate for them is sometime Saturday.

The drive home Wednesday ended up fine, aside from limbs and ice falling closer to town. Sirens were going throughout the night, along with arc flashes lighting up the sky.

With the extended return to electric service and overall tree/property damage, this event gave off at least the perception of a greater impact than had it been all snow for us, unless we're talking a GHD-type event.

I-290 and Biesterfield. Abrupt change to iced trees and vegetation. 32F and moderate ZR. Heading home with caution and fingers crossed.

School cancelled due to the ISW and concern of safe travel at end of day.

Heavier than normal early morning inbound commute on I-90 from far nw burbs.

Bare ground here in the UP.

Open water across Green Bay to Fish Creek.

Trails at destination another 90 minutes north up around Munising are shot.

Thursday is my travel day to the UP. I may be leaving early in the morning

Likewise.

Worked out well. Trails open and some local miles tonight. Enjoying it even more given the rarity.

I'm with you. Not pining.. More tongue in cheek.

That said, MKX taking lead and coordinating could make it a bit easier.

Vis down to about a mile now in central Boone County. Roads dusted. Small flakes.

Flurries underway - currently in western McHenry County.

Looking for that upgrade.

One of the weirdest busts in the last 20 years.
Maybe half an inch?

We'll have to trailer north. UP still where it's at.

You guys to the east enjoy this.

Did not take much.

Watch start times are interesting (some different takes in spite of coordination):

DVN 12/22 12 a.m.
LOT 12/22 6 p.m.
MKX 12/22 6 a.m.

Great to have things frozen up before this gets in play.

Drifting pretty nicely on the north/south roads today.

Stage is set.

this event was a totally different setup as last week's setup was WAA.

Very similar event to last Friday, with roads plowed/plows in action from basically northern McHenry County on up.

Still looks like a close call for the IL/WI border area, very dependent on dynamic cooling still.

Wet one.

Flipped over and ripping. Front end wasted on rain. 1-2" looks in play. On the grassy.

Local ski hills seeing some action anyway.

Nice gust at the front end. Shake down the walnuts.

I'll take a random Severe T-Storm warning to cap the weekend.

Understandable- that is a rural empty area of Wisconsin for sure. Never been but going to an anniversary party. I’m pretending we are Lewis and Clark exploring a new area never seen before lol. 

Check out the recently re-opened High Bridge in Eau Claire. Built in 1880 and served as an active railroad bridge until 1992. Converted to a pedestrian bridge in 2015 and then main supports rebuilt in the last year or so.
