IWXwx Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I just got back from Peru (north of OKK) and it was pouring there. As I traveled east on US 24, it lightened up and by Wabash I was out of it. Nothing but a virgafest here. As Chicagowx, all eyes are to the southwest now. Glad to hear about the thundersnow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Picked up a few tenths earlier, with most of it already gone. Next surge trying to get in here, but fighting dry air.

cyclone77 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Radar hole over northeast MO strikes again. Kirksville has been reporting 1/2 mile in moderate snow for awhile now, yet radar shows nothing over that whole area. Like I said 1000 times by now, wish they'd put another radar in that area, but with all the cutbacks it'll never happen. Looks like most of the models hammer LAF pretty good later on today/tonight. Should be excellent timing too with most of the snow arriving towards dusk. The 11.5" I called for them in the contest thread looks golden there.

LanceJA91 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Seems as if Chad Evans has my area in the heaviest band. Sitting 25 miles north of I-70 in Parke county! This is going to get Insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Based on the radar, it looks like the heaviest snow will fall just north of St. Louis. (BTW, St. Louis' airport is on the far north side of the city) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
