Geos Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 1.2" here now. Light snow, but it is steady. Watching the southern edge of a convergence band drifting to the south from the south side of Kenosha. Temperature falling slowly. Moisture/snow on trees has frozen up.

weatherpsycho Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I can't tell if you're being sarcastic?? Regardless, the nice big flakes are now just starting to lay on colder surfaces. No not at all. Thinking of going skiing out that way this weekend and hoping it would switch. Your the first report I have heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherpsycho Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Snow mixing in with rain in Zeeland (Between Grand Rapids and Holland). Maybe 50/50 right now.

SchaumburgStormer Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 No you wouldn't, trust me, ILN is possibly the worst NWS office in the midwest/OV Funny enough, the disco states they would be hoisting some sort of winter headline... All you get is a SWS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Been snowing since about 8 am in Glen Ellyn (25 miles due west of downtown Chicago) , been tough to get an accumulation on pavement. Would guess maybe an inch or so on non paved surfaces. Looks like wind is finally starting to pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 No not at all. Thinking of going skiing out that way this weekend and hoping it would switch. Your the first report I have heard. Cool! We have definitely not had a good winter for the winter enthusiasts around here. The ground is getting covered now with a thick dusting/coating of wet snow. Almost down to freezing.... Are you not getting any snow yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern_IN_Wx Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 started snowing...maybe a couple tenths so far. Probably on my way to 3-5" of snow with dry slot issues for most of this evening. I'll take it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue60007 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Just came back from Meijer, just enough snow to make everything slick. A car was off the road along the curves on 350, between the fire station and the hospital. Meijer lot was a skating rink, nearly rear ended a lady at 5 mph who decided to stop 20 feet short of the stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWeatherPimp Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 ILN makes me want to beat my head against the wall. They cause so much public confusion with every winter storm. First off, they have 2 sets of advisory, watch and warning criteria in their CWA for winter storms which means a county to your South can be under a Winter Storm Warning for 4" of snow and the county right next to them can be under a Winter Weather Advisory for 6". At every one of our media/EMA workshops with them we have tried (all of us) to stress to them how confusing this is. And then today, they issue a Winter Weather Advisory for their Southwestern half of their CWA (who will get less snow than areas farther North) while Dayton at the heart of rush hours gets a heavy burst of snow and no advisory, etc. Just makes no sense.

GordoFabulous Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Snow's ended in Muncie. Temp's down to 22. The wind has started to pick up, but for moment only in gusts. Eyeballing under a half inch on the grassy surfaces and cars. Roads are clear of snow, but there's a fair puddles. We lost a bit of accumulation due to the ground being so wet, and once the freeze really takes hold, roads are gonna be nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
