1/24-1/25 Major Winter Storm - S. IL, IN, and OH

[Chicago Storm]

If there was any kind of leadership still around, I would request the last 3 pages of our detroit shenanigans in here be moved to the banter thread. Although I think for historic/archive purposes, the Ohio crew had their own thread for this? What happened to Hoosier? I haven't seen him around this winter.

hoosier was kicked from the board, think it was last winter (?).

Who cares what twc or what any local news stations ever say. Us weenies know more. Most people just piggyback what dtx says, which we all know is as accurate as accuwx. Do you still watch local news for their forecasts?

Catchin strays left and right this week

Ghd was our moment but the chicago crew pulled it nw last minute. Ill have nightmares of hearing pingers from that one for years.

Legit thought it was our moment as well. Was somewhere public with a monitor on a wall and was shocked to see their wx map with 15-25" painted across most of SMI. My thought was "finally - a real deal monster bliz"

Got the winds, flakes were pixies, but the ULL got separated from the SLP when it came flying up towards SMI - ULL kept going and didn't make the turn the SLP did as forecasted to do. That's how I remember it anyways. Huge disappointment for me. Thought for sure Christmas '09 was coming our way too, then it made that stupid hard left turn and looped around for places like Nebraska and MN, then finally Chicago even scored some on the rear end.
