McDude Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Just remember I'm heading out to Crystal Lake today. I should have some reports for you guys. I guess I should have been more interested in this storm, but I forgot I was going up North because I'm being forced to by the old lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevlon62 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 On the Ike vicinity United Center heading to near south side. Then it is northbound for us. Hoping to stay ahead of Friday rush here and deal with only Milwaukee's. Skyline veiled in low clouds and fog. Patchy bright spots elsewhere but it has that look to it with low clouds streaming from the nne. EDIT: Light rain now falling at Roosevelt/Clinton. Looks dark to southwest.

hawkeye_wx Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Ultimately was a bit disappointing here. Got a quick 1.3 inches this morning, but over the next few hours the snow struggled to pile up during the March midday. I ended up with only 2 inches. We came up a bit short on qpf. The final pre-storm NAM and GFS had 0.4" here, but my final actual precip is 0.30". The snow is already melting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
