Indystorm Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I think the advice from him for LaSalle Illinois on I-80 looks very good, especially with the pivot point up that way, Beau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janetjanet998 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 So due to the dryslotting you think Peoria will see significantly less snow? not sure where that will set up...will be VERY close for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Too lazy for pics and no batteries for the Flip... Just imagine it pouring down rain, but the rain is snow. Small flakes, very dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csnavywx Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I think the advice from him for LaSalle Illinois on I-80 looka very good, especially with the pivot point up that way, Beau. It's pretty easy to get to it from Bloomington too. Just hop out on I-55 and get to exit 164. That'll get you on I-39. I take that route all the time when going to St. Louis to visit family and friends. LaSalle is about 50-60 miles north, right along I-80 as was mentioned before.

Thundersnow12 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'm in DeKalb, Alek's in Chi-town proper. Im in Batavia Caplan just called me on the phone lol talked for 10 mins. we made our over/under bet at 16.5" at ORD...he made it last night. I gave him the oppurtunity to change it but he said he would be happy to go down in flames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Do you live on the south side? I'd say here north of I-94 we have a bit more than that. I'd say 6 inches total from the WAA. 2 miles se. of the airport.. 24th and goldcrest.. picked up half inch since 5:30.. so up to 4.8" should be lots of upper teens and maybe low 20" reports when this one is all done if it goes as planned.. drifts are going to be insane. can't wait and normally I can't stomach wind during snow.

Organizing Low Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Kudos to them for doing the safe thing. University of North Dakota NEVER closed! We had to go to classes in 55 mph blizzards and 0 SM blowing snow. Profs often could not make it into class to teach yet the school would never close. nuts absolutely nuts we get ground blizzards a couple times a year (none this year sadly , but i cant imagine making people carry out their activities in Plains blizzards wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Bow, that makes sense. It seemed I-94 was the dividing line of the snow. Oh well, this is just the appetizer anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevlon62 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Lol sirens are going off here for the monthly testing... It feels very eeery especially with this oncoming storm.. Same here. It is interesting how much the falling snow deadens the sound. The sirens seemed to be at least 50% quieter than what they normally sound. Usually the cats are scrambling for the basement/under the bed, but they didn't move today. This LES that has been falling up here is beginning to remind me of 1/1/99 and the similar precursor to the main event in the late afternoon/early evening.

sc2man13 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Holy crap! Looks like an ice rink. I was talking to my girlfriend who goes to college in Indy and she said they have an inch of ice down and a lot more coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Beau I think if you are looking to stay far enough west from the dryslot, Macomb LaSalle or Galesburg would all be solid options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck BowMe, I'm rooting for you...you deserve it. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see YBY eclipse 2 feet when all is said and done. Enjoy it.

It's a great sign of the enhancement the lake will provide in the main bands as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizardMafia Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Not that bad at my house.. But, looks like showers are increasing down to the south. WISH-TV here in Indy says that warmer air may surge further north than projected.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Man I can't stress this enough, as great as the snowstorm will be the areas that get the ice/wind combo, we will be talking about those areas for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWeatherPimp Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 That looks nightmarish. Almost a half inch of ice accretion just from the first wave last night with plenty more to come this afternoon and this evening. Combine that with gusty winds and it will be a nightmare.

WISH-TV here in Indy says that warmer air may surge further north than projected.. They are riding the NAM then, which doesn't seem to have a good handle on current thermal profiles across the state. The HRRR keeps all of Central Indiana and Western Ohio in the middle to upper 20's throughout the duration of the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
