Thundersnow12 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 37º at ORD. Futility will live on. Got flakes here now in the LAF too. 35 here and everything is white already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I was just getting ready to post that I hadn't seen hide nor hair of Tim for the past couple of days. I figured that you'd be on here crowing about your up to 1" of incoming snow. Have to take a break from this insane asylum sometimes. But we aren't getting 1" of snow here, let alone 0.2". Just flakes in the air...good enough. 35 here and everything is white already. Cool. I'm rooting for the futility buster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Even though the snow didn't last very long here before transitioning to rain, it was still nice to see some flakes flying around in the daylight hours again. Up to 36 now. Lots of dripping sounds outside right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Sad state of affairs when LAF has more snow on the ground than Mt Geos. Haha! Yeah I knew you had more than I did. Pines trees did a good job of blocking the snow in the foreground. Plus during the solstice storm, the snow didn't stick real close to the milder pond! Still snowing here. Hovering just above freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Mostly clear skies here today, but the south wind made it a little chilly....even with a high temp of 33F. Seeing some melting, but even a week of this I doubt would get rid of much of the snow pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Looks like solid light snow will continue for another couple hours here, a bit of a surprise. While most of the models showed us on the northern edge of the light precip from this shortwave trough, I figured dry air would nullify most of the precip.
