Would rather not be in the money zone this far out, but alas.
Floor for enjoyment would be 2-3” and no rain. Cover the ground a bit and liven up the landscape before the awful cold.
Trends are bleak locally, but have been out of the “big” game for some time. Still looking forward to what falls. The modest overnight surprise of ~2” brought back memories of being excited over anything weather related. It’s been rather boring lately.
1.7” front-end & 0.5” on the back IMBY call.
Can confirm the drifting is getting a bit extreme in my little corner of rural NW Indiana. Roads are indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland. Sounds like it's raining outside.
Yeah it was restored ~5 hours after it went out. Have been dealing with some intermittent short outages throughout the evening. Though the snow does look amazing, I'm pretty happy it will end soon. Feeling like we're playing too close to the edge with trees & lines. Have ~45 trees in my "yard" and much more in the wooded half. Would rather avoid a big clean-up effort.
Briefly went outside to see if there was any melting/if it would be safe enough to take a drive down to the gas station. Like others have reported - decent rippage. Also hearing some fairly loud cracking in the wooded half of my property. Wondering if the added weight is starting to do its work on some of the weaker/damaged large limbs now.
Pretty interesting.
Though, curious about the underlying datasets. Illinois looks a strange outlier on obesity - where MO & IN draw higher heat right up to the state line. Kansas also looks like it built a wall against diabetes, even though obesity seems to be quite prevalent.

Insurance premiums are going to be through the roof for this poor city. Common Mother Nature, I think they've had enough.
