Chicago WX Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 From LOT, picked from the IKK zone forecast. Nowcast as of 8:07 PM CST on February 1, 2011Now Through 1000 PM...expect... Heavy snowfall with rates up to one to two inches per hour... northeast winds gusting up to 40 to 55 mph... near zero visibility at times... thundersnow possible in the heaviest snow bands... snow drifts to three feet or more... travel becoming nearly impossible... wind chills in the single digits falling to zero or below. Some sleet has been reported from a Ford to Benton County line this evening...but as the evening wears on...most of the precipitation will be in the form of snow. It is highly recommended to ride out this storm from the Comfort of your home...as venturing outside is becoming outright dangerous. All but emergency or absolutely necessary travel should be postponed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 NAM/RUC both give the QC another 0.6-0.8" of precip after 8pm local time. That should be an additional 10"+. If that works out our totals here should end up between 17-18". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
