Yeah, maybe. BMI and PNT reporting mix too, though BMI is at 1/2 visibility with that "mix". EDIT: looks like a frozen sensor or something at BMI.

Nelson Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 The latest.... Wind are howling. I've never experienced a tornado but I have to think there are some similarities to what I'm hearing outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevlon62 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Nice gusts going out there but not sure about anything too crazy. Wbbm amd wgn news trucks are on the Square for remotes. Picturesque to be sure but all in all a relatively tame scene. Might go up in a bit to build a little snowman for the cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 A couple damaging wind reports trickling in from the southern/western LOT cwa. This should spread northeast in the coming hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow has left the building though. I thought that was JoMo the first time I saw it. Was wondering how I missed that happening. Had friends all reporting nice snow squalls and such on the FB. I look outside and see nothing after dinner. So I come upstairs look at 2 hours of a loop.... No bands over me at all during the whole time. N, E, S, W, all had nice bands pass over, just a big screw hole here. I blame Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to 36º after dipping down to 32º at 7:39pm. It'd be totally awesome if the bands in IL make it here intact...and we rain. My T call for LAF is golden.

Fickle Heights Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Nice coating of wet snow on grass, starting to stick on the road too. Wind is plastering it on all the trees. Good enough for me. I'm really interested to see what those winds in Champaign will be like here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Justin- Same here...but i bet yours has a lot more moisture in it...
