Chicago WX Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Chicago- That is the bluffs doing that. They sit 500ft above the city. Official readings are taken at the airport which sits right near the river and Lake Onalaska. NWS is on top of the bluff. Airport sat at 32F all night. Makes sense. Thanks.

wisconsinwx Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Getting Clay Matthews blitzed ATM. Me FTL Got a quick slushy coating overnight when heavier returns went over... All rain @ 5am with heavier returns down south.. those must have moved in around 5:45 as it went to hearing sleet pinging the windows.. to lazy to get up and see if any snow was mixed in until I heard the pingers stopped at 6:15.. To my surprise it was all snow just starting up.. wisconsinwx - FTW.. Congrats man. Light stuff starting.. Clay Matthews with a bead on the QB about 5 mins later. Just insane out there now @ 6:45 Its like down feathers are just being unleashed. Thanks Bow! You just have to believe! When we're that close to freezing, anything can and will happen. Many times, you have good reason to be pessimistic. I guess it wasn't here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I woke up around 4:30 am last night and we were getting obliterated with flakes the size of golfballs. 4-5" of concrete snow out there, it's gonna be hard to melt it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True...Detroit has been stealing everyone's snow this Winter. Although some of the most intense snow Ive ever seen was on the West Side of Michigan. TSSN and insane rates in a classic SW LES event. Wont ever forget that. It was while driving to Chi Town a few years back..Had to pull over on 94. Worst part..It was at night. That was 1st time in life that snow actually scared me..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This area STINKS for storm tracks. any storm track east of say lansing and west of the apps doesn't happen very often. We have done well 3 out of the last 4 winters but I feel your pain.

Stevo6899 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 So if this tracks west on the rest of the models today, I doubt they issue a watch or an advisory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
