SchaumburgStormer Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 9 milea west of I39 on i88 and it is snowing small flakes with enough intensity to lower vid to about 1 mile, yet the radar looks decievingly empty. Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Lol....lake effect snow advisory for 5 to 7 inches and we got an inch. The lake didn't kick in, so we got another synoptic inch. Perhaps Thursday will be our first snowstorm of the season. It is amazing that our 50 inches of snow, while awesome, has been pretty much all lake effect fluff.
