A-L-E-K Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I heard from a friend that Lake Shore Drive will be shut down later this afternoon. Can anyone confirm? I'm going to try and catch the first express bus home down LSD around 3:30, so i hope not. Otherwise i'm taking the el. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 It's obvious that northern and western IL are going to get a boatload of snow. I am, however, right along the line between the heavy snow and sleet/ice. Given what all of you know (which is much more than me), what is your prediction for Macon County, in central Illinois (between Spfld and Champaign)? To me it looks like we're getting mostly sleet/ice, but they keep saying we're going to get 8-12 inches of snow. Thoughts? Definitely interested in this as well, as my parents live in the booming metropolis of Oreana, a suburb of the booming metropolis of Decatur, lol. They have heard ice storm and blizzard, got them worried quite a bit as they got pummeled by an ice storm in 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Snow/sleet line in central IL looks to be running between Bloomington (sn) and Champaign (pl) currently. First band making its way through here soon, most likely pl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real battle here right now between sn and pl. I'm a little surprised we're seeing flakes mixed in to be honest... EDIT: Looks to be 50/50 at the moment.
