IllinoisWedges Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 O'Hare at 7.4" as of 5:30am. Might be making a run for 10" based on radar trends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btcs31 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Slushy mess in NWI. Grass still peaking out. Roads aren’t too bad but I expect they’ll worsen for the morning commute. Walking in to the office felt like being sandblasted in the face. Interested to see what this mess on the ground becomes once the temps plunge.

Harry Perry Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Sitting at 4.3” here... still snowing but lightening up. Deformation snow moving this way but weakening quickly. Might squeeze another inch or two out before it weakens and moves east. Roads are absolute garbage due to the heavy wet nature of the snow. Power went out to boot. Lots of weight in the trees - reminds me of an ice storm, minus the ice and add plaster. Makes for a beautiful sight though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 6 hours ago, cyclone77 said: Official total at DVN is 11.9", and at MLI 13.3". My 12-14" for here/QC was not too shabby if I do say so myself. I figured something special was going down when DVN flipped to snow right as I was leaving work (21z) but had 6" by 01z. Now the snowiest fall ever at MLI (18.1" beats 15.6" in 1974), and the 6th snowiest calendar day (13.3"). I don't have access to the top snowstorm totals anymore, but judging by 2 day totals it's in the top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Looks like a couple inches in Howell.... nothing all that impressive. In fact, this would be my 3rd biggest storm of November 2018. I'm curious to see a full DTX map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILwxchr Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 A lot of fallen and sagging trees this morning from the heavy snow. I took averaged measurements and came up with 14.0" for my location N of Davenport. Looks like the QCA airport received 13.8" officially, so not too far off. From what I understand this is their biggest November storm on record breaking the previous record of 9.9" on the November 2015 storm (Moline, IL). At least that is what I was told. Surprisingly though not a lot of photo ops, but I already fell on ice and hurt myself, so I came back inside lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILwxchr Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Interstate 74 between the QC and Galesburg is still at a standstill right now. Unbelievable. I imagine still some blowing snow out there in wide open Henry County, IL. It'll probably be Tuesday afternoon before I can make it back down toward Galesburg and especially Macomb. 67 north out of Macomb is still very bad along with most McDonough and Warren county roads according to my EMA source.

I know you went quite a few years without any meaningful snowstorms now isn't this your 2nd one in 2018? Thanks man! Yeah we did well with GHD2 in 2015 with around 15". Picked up 11" in this year's March 24th storm. Definitely had some good luck this year. The March storm had a very sharp cutoff about 25-30 northeast of here, so felt very fortunate to get what we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting little tidbit from the DVN morning AFD. The powerful early season winter storm that produced blizzard conditions (gusts of 40-45mph), a heavy snow band of 8 to 14+ inches, and quite a bit of thundersnow, is finally winding down. Incredibly, some places near the Quad Cities had 0.75" of rain before changing to snow, which prevented storm totals from eclipsing 20 inches. Here's the time lapse from the event. I decided to set a cooler out in front of the camera to show some perspective, as the red portion of the cooler is exactly 12" tall. Unfortunately I screwed up and didn't put it out far enough, so you can only see the top lol. Woops. I also shot a night lapse of the snow falling after sunset, but the falling snow made it so bright it blew out all the images. One thing of note during the vid, you can see the snow actually melted a little bit during that 1.5hr lull after the changeover. I didn't notice that at the time.

boiler1111 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Quite a few split and damaged pear trees around the neighborhood - eyeballing it we ended up 6 or maybe 7 inches of very heavy wet snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still trying to process this storm, but man was that amazing! I was starting to really sweat around Noon when we had not switched over, and we adding up those rain totals, and it was as if someone switched a flip. From moderate rain to now, and within minutes everything was white! Amazing! And we want even start with the snow drifts late last night! 13.8 officially now at MLI = The biggest November snowstorm on record. The biggest since the Superbowl Feb 2015 storm. Last year, we had all of a trace up to this date! So who's excited for Winter to begin in about a month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 The driving rain turned into a driving wet snow and I guess there was a nice heavy burst at home. Picked up 0.7" of slush, much of which has already melted but since I did not expect anything I can't complain. This is already our 8th day with measurable snow this November now just to get a big one. It's hard to be impatient in what has been a wintry November but I am definitely ready for full fledged Winter. And seeing the snow scenes to my West makes me want it even more. I'm sure people in Minnesota and Wisconsin must be pulling their hair out with as cold as it's been and the lack of snow so far over there.

Kaner88 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Backyard measurement says 9", have to look at LSRs later to compare given the drifting going on around the neighborhood. Never seen anything like that storm with respect to the impact on the power grid: transformers blowing and power flashes lighting up the sky at least once every five minutes for a little bit there.

RyanDe680 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Anxious to see the actual snowfall map. Looks like the Euro had the best track of the models but was off on the precip amounts. As the event got closer the high resolution models also did well. Euro continues to perform well over the past few winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
