That’s, uh, wow.
This is like the Colts-Vikings game from Saturday. Everything’s looking great for Indy in the first half, but then Minnesota just winds up winning again.
RC, please have Izzi save his write up & put it in a drawer. That way, he can break it out when something great comes along.
Thundersnow, 1-2 feet, all those things that were fun to read.
If traffic is going to be at a standstill anyway with the winds for even just a couple inches of snow, might as well make it worth it & get all the snow that was being modeled two days ago, too.
But alas, the snow totals are fading hard with every 6hr increment. It sucks to see.
Ignorance here: Is this a list of storms that are comparable to the current one? Kinda like how you can compare current baseball players of similar statistics with hall of famers?
You know there’s something good being tracked when you can basically feel the nervous tension before 0z (and 12z) models start releasing. It’s glorious!
My job added two non-production days to our schedule this week, so I’m off until Jan. 3rd starting Wednesday instead of Friday. Turning out to be a major blessing in disguise with the timing of the storm, although it sucks massive jingle bells that they won’t be paid off days.
Thursday AM is the start of things around the Chicago area, but I think there should be some flights allowed to be done; but don’t quote me. Friday would likely be cancel heavy if this verifies. You did the right thing, imo.
I’m going to suggest to my wife asking/begging for a work-from-home setup for Friday. Thursday would be a *long* commute but it seems the absolute worst of the storm will kick in after 10pm Thursday.
My wife drives an hour into Itasca every day for work. Idk if she’ll be able to come home on Thursday night; and based on those winds, Friday night seems questionable as well. Luckily there’s a hotel 3 minutes away from her job if that should happen.
