snowlord81 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Your not kidding. I had no choice was coming home from work. Ive never driven in conditions that bad. No way to tell how much snow has fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Roads are a mess here as well, even with the limited amount of snow the blowing especially on the N-S roads is creating a huge mess already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Yeah what a joke. The back edge was approaching here and the returns just shattered apart. Snow completely shut off. Gonna estimate 0.1" for this beast. What a POS system this was. Glad we weren't really anticipating much with this. I'd say 9 times out of 10 this season we've had underperformers for eastern Iowa and far western IL. Beat goes on, and on, and on... Ouch, well Sunday looks good for you guys, at least compared to here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Looks like borderline +SN about to move in from the west. 1.2" so far. Average over 5 measurements. Snow is the wettest since December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has the look of the now infamous Feb '03 severe snow squall-line that blew through much of this area. I'd trade a 6"+ snowstorm for a chance to witness something like that again even though it only lasted <10min. (That's what she said) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(That's what she said) Yeah that was memorable...one of the rare times I can recall an office issuing severe thunderstorm warnings for a snow squall. Here's a radar image with the counties under the severe thunderstorm warning outlined in yellow. The band produced gusts of 60-70 mph IIRC.

RJSnowLover Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 LOT posted an update about Sunday... GOING FORWARD INTO TONIGHT...WINDS WILL BEGIN TO BACK TO THE SOUTHAND EVENTUALLY REACH THAT DIRECTION BY SUNDAY MORNING. SPEEDS WILLCOME DOWN TONIGHT...BUT THEN RE-INCREASE QUICKLY ON SUNDAYMORNING. THIS WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH A WARM FRONT WHICH WILLBRING SNOW TO TAF SITES. THIS LOOKS TO BEGIN OVERNIGHT TO AROUNDDAYBREAK SUNDAY FOR CHICAGO AREA TAF SITES. THERE IS POTENTIAL FORA 3-5 HOUR WINDOW OR SO OF FAIRLY GOOD SNOWFALL RATES /ONE INCHPER HOUR PLUS/ DURING SUNDAY MORNING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc294 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Just had a gust that scared the dog. Still a while until I see any flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Loved the Dominican but glad to be home.. snuck out of chicago last sat before the snows and snuck in and out tonight just before the snow started. Not a bad little event here.. Been snowing nice size flakes for about 5 hrs now. Looks like sunday should be about the same. Not gonna like going from 83 and sun every day to about 115 degrees colder feeling with the wind factor through early next week... Balmy out there tonight actually like geos mentioned when i just went to get the mail mountain. . Naso much going forward. Gonna be until June until Lake Michigan looks this inviting. Lets freeze that baby over and free ac well in to july! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeenerWx Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Not sure how much we've got out there but it doesn't look like much. Maybe up to an inch? At any rate, this wind knocked my cable/internet earlier this afternoon. Still don't have it back. Boonies ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDude Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 These snow reports coming in seem low. At least judging from where I am at on the southeast side. At least 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 still coming down nice flakes... haven't looked at radar all night but I thought it would have basically been mood flakes by now at best with them canceling the wwa on time. normally snow has ended 2 hrs before a advisory is set to expire.. not 2 hrs after. Bonus tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 In this case the WWA was for blowing snow. ahh ok I'm behind the loop, thanks. man is it warm out and the wind has really let (wasn;t really all that bad anyways outside the first hr or so) off with only an occasional little gust to maybe 15. not looking forward to the future.

Hoosier Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Ran outside to get a measurement and it's really difficult given the uneven distribution. Throw in preexisting snow cover and it makes things harder. Based on Chad's measurement from a few hours ago and continued mostly light snow since then, maybe we are near 2".
