    Both the op Euro and parallel GFS show a system for the 17-18th period. Encouraging to see them in agreement in something around that time period. A glimmer of hope on the horizon?

    The 12z Euro had a nice clipper for northern WI/UP of MI late next week, and some snow showers and flurries for areas south of that.

    Another dense fog advisory tonight. The trees have been caked with rime/hoar frost for several days now. Lost some of it yesterday, but last night it came back in force with the dense fog. It didn't fall off at all today, and with more fog coming tonight it should only act to build it up even more. Pretty crazy stretch we got here.

    Lowest temp of the season so far here is only 5 above. No subzero temps in sight through mid month. Def saving money on the ol' heating bill this winter.

    I got an eye Dr. appt for 2/17, so this works out well.

    Yeah it's a big change from a few days back when every little model run was scrutinized for any little possible change. Now it's kind of like now what? Just give us something to track, anything lol. These long stretches with nothing are mind numbing this time of year. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I don't remember there being so many long periods of absolutely nothing to track for weeks at a time back in the "old days". Prob should have put this in the complaint thread lol.

    I can't remember hoar frost maintaining this long around here. Some of it blew off, but I'd say 75% or so remains. Was up by Clinton earlier and it was even better than here. Looked like 1.5"+ growth up there vs around 1" here. Should have dug my camera out today and took pics.

    Looks like I woke up on Mt Washington this morning. Hoar frost of up to an inch grew on everything, even icicles.

    The admins need to add a "jealous" icon to choose from along with the weenie, like, etc lol.

    Looks like a snooze fest again through mid month. Looks like Jan may be like many of the past months where there's jack squat for weeks, but then a major event comes in at some point and gives a brief period of excitement. Clippers can be pretty boring, but I'd take a train of them just so we don't have to go through these long stretches of benign weather in the heart of the winter tracking season.

    There's a high likelihood of 6"+ snow in 12hrs or less in a portion of the ILX cwa. No advisories or anything other than dense fog advisory at present. EDIT: ILX did take the time to peck out a special weather statement though (after 3"+ has already fallen lol)

    Radar estimates over 0.3" of precip fell in the past hour around the Cisco area to the west of Monticello/Champaign. Likely 2-3" per hour rates there the past hour, and it continues.

    Chambana getting in on a little action this eve. CMI was down to 1/2 mile in moderate snow a short while ago. Should snow well there for another hour or two.
  15. cyclone77
    Did a time lapse of the front tree changing colors through fall. Wanted the last shot to have snow on the ground, so I had to wait till this past event to get that last shot.
  16. cyclone77
    Walking around on the snowpack here gives you the sense that it will have some pretty good staying power. Very dense with all the ice that fell on top of the snow. There's still ice on the trees as it didn't get above freezing here today.
  17. cyclone77
    Picked up 0.7" of snow. Nice to see it look white out there finally.
  18. cyclone77
    Hit 50 in MLI earlier this afternoon, 47 here. Light snow falling now and back down to 31.
  19. cyclone77
    This evening's snows crap the bed right at the Mississippi River coming out of Iowa. Seasonal trends won't be denied lol. Cedar Rapids has a shot to break the 1ft mark for the season.
  20. cyclone77
    It's now been over a month (November 24th) since our heaviest snowfall so far (0.5"). Hopefully we can break the 1" threshold sometime in January.

    It made me want to run down the street yelling merry Christmas everyone like Jimmy Stewart.
  22. cyclone77
    Had some mood flakes blowing around under the street lights a little while ago. Nice touch for xmas eve night.
  23. cyclone77
    Because when things are this bad futility potential is the only glimmer of excitement lol.
  24. cyclone77
    Noon yesterday at MLI was at 60 degrees. Today at noon it's 13 with a wind chill of -4.
  25. cyclone77
    Coldest of the season this morning with 7 degrees. Lack of snow cover is allowing temps to get a little "warmer" than DVN anticipated yesterday, as MLI is already up to 14. Some pretty nice squalls passed through southeast IA into west-central IL south of the QC overnight. Shows up nicely on satellite this am.
