Stebo Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Very impressed with the amount of standing water all over the downriver area toward the Airport. Also the Southfield Freeway in Allen Park is flooded and closed (though this is notorious for flooding but rarely does it close fully). I am thinking those from a line from Adrian to DTW to Troy up toward Imlay City and Westward look to end up with decent accumulations 2-5" with some areas along 127 from Lansing into Indiana/Extreme NW Ohio getting 5-9". Along the water in the Eastern parts of DTX's area probably a T-2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 And apparently it's switched back to rain at the airport. Still snowing here at my place, albeit lightly. Kooky stuff.

afterimage Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I have just taken 5 measurements, and end up with 2.4 to 2.6" out here...not bad at all, just north of the Airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent gradient across the county, West Laf barely had its grass covered while we're at 2 or 3 inches over here on the south/east side. My normal 15 minute drive took about 35 minutes. Didn't see too many idiot drivers, though had one soccer mom tailing me way too close. Slowed down to about 10 mph and she finally got the hint.

Chicago WX Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Just went out for one last measurement, 2.8" going to be final. It's switched over to light rain as the last gasp moves through. Good luck to the rest of you tonight. Two more photos to close it out. The last one is of the sand volleyball court that use in conjunction with a plywood board to measure my snow here. 3/4 of it is just a bunch of slush right now.

nwohweather Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Ouch. It never ceases to amazing me how people react to the first snowfall especially while driving. Downtown still has nothing sticking so far (at least what I can see through my cameras). Expecting the heavier snow to start pushing through within the next hour however. How don't you expect it though? It's the reason meteorologists are around. Throughout human history we've always thought we've got mother natures number or it can't affect us that much. First snowfall of the year just puts us all back into our place really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*IndyMeso* Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Lots of power outages being reporting across NE Indiana. Indiana Michigan Power is currently reporting 2002 outages. One of our field personnel who lives in Miami County said the roads are awful and heavy wet snow is covering all the branches and power lines so the outages aren't a surprise.

Thunder Road Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Cold, dry and blustery day in Valpo. I'm kind-of glad this wasn't all snow, because it would have been a huge bust with that last-minute east trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I will have to learn more about these forums. Much different in the WFO. You worked side by side with people sometimes for years and more of a family atmosphere. You had so many types of personalities nearly all nuts about weather. Humor was the biggest asset after education and experience in the WFO. You needed the humor cause in this biz: the jabs come left/right and below the belt (and most from your fellow colleagues) and you "try" to develop a thick skin. I remember one of my first days on the job this guy in his 40s said to me "so are you another weather enthusiast spelled N U T? The rest of my career speaks volumes on that one and I don't care. Having "OCD" about you passion makes it that much more fun. I always knew the guys that were in right job in the office (about 90%) they LUVED wx. Oh well, I guess I know how to liven up this board on a boring Sat aftn wx-wise (and Nov wise) at least until the next model run(s) ;-) Welcome to American WX!
