iowahawkeyedave Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 PWSullivan Large panel of Wrigley Field roof blown off by the Blizzard. No injuries reported. Cubs monitoring situation. Speaking of that, here's the Earthcam streaming webcam on Wrigley Field. Not sure if that's the piece of roof in the middle of the picture or not.

A-L-E-K Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 i've been under a ton of severe t-storm and even tor-warned cells, but the conditions out there right now are just as violent as any of them and so much longer lasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 That area between BMI-IKK must be getting clobbered right now. I should have gone home. Radar is getting increasingly sick there and to the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Visibilities with just the snow falling and a steady wind aren't god awful (around or below a mile), but the drifting/blowing with stronger winds easily produce visiblities well below a quarter mile.

baroclinic_instability Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 WOW, super awesome radar loop at ILX showing gravity wave ripples flowing away from the convection and propagating under the inversion.

London snowsquall Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Snow and the wind is starting to crank up in London for you guys in Ont. With the existing deep snowpack of powder and the high snowbanks everywhere, this could get nasty very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Radar is lighting up big time between Dubuque and Iowa City That solid yellow band south of Dubuque must be 3 inches per hour.

With the existing deep snowpack of powder and the high snowbanks everywhere, this could get nasty very quickly. Is your existing snowcover still loose? I guess you've had recent snowfall? Everything here is a compact glacier. Only BS will be with the falling snow/fresh snowcover. Keep the reports coming in Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Just nuts out there... I know this is going to sound terrible but its really not even an enjoyable event.. I like watching the flakes fall and stack up no matter how little or big the snowfall.. this just blows around in swirls and creates next to whiteouts - Not exciting to me at all. I had a 9-10 inch snowpack in the wind tunnel and its down to pickers sticking out lol. Can't believe I'm even saying the above but I just despise wind when it snows. So I take it you're not a fan of blizzards? Did you like them when you had a snow day at stake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
