  1. Already 2-3” reports just south of I-80, in the vicinity of Joliet. That area will likely over-perform in the 3-5” range, given what’s left to go. 1-3” area wide still looks good outside of that area. .
  2. Looks like a lock for 1-3” around here. Snow started a short time ago, and already whitening up the grass. .
  3. Up to 753 cases and 6 deaths in IL. .
  4. With word out that this is going to occur, chaos has ensued. Walmart is beyond packed...There's a line just to get into the building. Police everywhere.
  5. Illinois is expected to be placed under a shelter-in-place order during todays news conference, which will go into effect on Saturday.
  6. It's a good thing you didn't, as the cold front under-cut just about everything.
  7. He said the same thing the past few days.
  8. 134 new IL cases, and 422 total now. 3 new deaths, with 4 total now.
  9. Several signs pointing towards a multi-town or multi-county lockdown/shelter-in-place order coming within the next day or so for the area.
  10. SPC is wayyy too overzealous, as seems to be par for the course these days.
  11. Tomorrow will likely be mitigated by widespread areas of precip and lingering debris into the afternoon for most areas. Near the SLP in IA looks best as of now.
  12. As of today, 34,713 overall cases and 2,978 deaths. Similar to other places, they are only testing those at higher risk and that have more significant symptoms...so the realistic case total is likely much higher.
  13. 128 new cases and 288 total cases now in IL, most in the metro.
  14. Operations at MDW greatly reduced, after 3 ATCT workers have tested positive.
  15. Up to 160 total cases in IL, which is the highest in the region.
  16. 1st IL death...60 year old woman from Chicago. Also, nursing home in DuPage Co that had a positive case a few days ago now has 22 additional positive resident/staff cases.
  17. I’m surprised fitness/gym locations were not included, as they have been in other states. Anything non-essential should be locked down, because it’s pretty clear the public isn’t following along when given the chance to do so in their own. .
  18. I’ll take 1k...But there’s nothing free in this world. .
  19. People aren't following it as it is...all of the stores and other places are packed. And I don't just mean places like Walmart...I passed Ross, Marshalls, Planet Fitness, X-Sport Fitness and Khol's a bit ago, and they're all busy.
  20. If trends continue, I'd agree with that. Large jump in cases and steady increase in deaths continues. 4,500+ cases and 85 death now in the US.
  21. If we go into more of a lockdown like SF, I'd guess so.
  22. 105 cases in IL as of late this morning, with a majority being in the metro.
  23. Picked up 0.2” here and only a T at ORD. .
  24. Delivery and drive-thru can continue for now, though. .
