I don't think we'll see another flake or pellet the rest of the way. That sounds familiar.. Between now and midnight we'll see how things turn out. Just dry and cold here at the moment.

PatrickSumner Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Nothing here in Marion still. Been dry slotted for a couple of hours now. Hoping to squeeze an inch or so out before storm pushes of to the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said all 4-7"ers aren't the same and this one will go down as a memorable one in Chi-Town at least for the non-weenies.. Traffic is garbage all across the area..
