cyclone77 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Definitely under 1/4 mile here with very heavy snow. Despite the winds whipping it around the snow is sticking to the trees which makes me worry about power outages a little later when the high winds hit. Looks like 2-3" so far, with a lot of that falling within the past hour. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelmantis Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 My goodness the radar returns in Central IL are looking good as they work their way up north... Got an inch or so on the ground so once it starts ripping it should be a good 6-9 hours at least!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Relative just north of Chariton, IA just told me she got 15.5" of snow. It is no longer snowing there. I wouldn't be surprised to see a 20" report near Ottumwa. There are other reports from around there ranging from 12-14. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaner88 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Last few posts got me thinking, kinda seems like the stuff moving north towards Chicagoland/Rockford etc might pose a threat of kicking off as rain at first. I say that solely from looking at 22z OBS for the state and not much else, so I may very well be off my rocker, but the possibility is piquing my interest.

Dews here are 34 and temps nearly 36 so it may take a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone is going to miss out on a few inches of snow by starting off as rain first. Nice problem to have for the first storm of the year huh? :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Just went on a mini-jeb walk down the street. It's like being out in a driving rainstorm. The snow is just pouring down in nice granulated flakes, and very quickly soaks you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone please tell me this will be snow That should be snow once it gets to areas like O'Hare and n/w (can't rule out mix right at onset). The bigger question is what happens farther south in Cook co and how long it takes to flip. Some models hang up the transition zone longer than others.
