RyanDe680 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Interestingly, I noticed in the past when it rains, the first snow to go is snow on the trees. Outside my office, the snow is still stuck on the trees - and it's pouring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Pretty decent amount of rain this afternoon. Don't know for sure how much since the gauge is still covered in snow. Lots of standing water all over the place. Snow has compacted down to about 8" from 10" this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 My cousin called and told me she left a casino in East Chicago and went south on Cline Avenue in a sea of stopped tail lights. Snow that had been piled on to the side was melting in the rain and flooding the road with huge pot holes opening up everywhere that would swallow your tire. Could only drive ten mph to reach the Borman Expressway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drove 88 from moline, did not realize there was ice until I tried to turn into my subdivision and power slid into a snowdrift One buddy sprained his ankle while carrying his daughter across an icy parking lot (Woodridge)...my mom (Darien) couldn't make it up her driveway after she went to visit my father....I watched (about 15 minutes ago) a car slide right into the middle of our neighbor's front lawn while standing in front of my house talking to my mom...Needless to say my sideroads and driveway are still sheets of ice....Main roads (locally) seemed to be fine with the exception being monster ponding here and there... Buckling looks pretty bad too around here....something for the street department to sort out in the spring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huronicane Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I'd recommend going out to clear the drains if you can. I walked down to the corner of my street earlier and found 8-12 inches of standing water there. All it took was a few scoops of the shovel and it quickly drained.
