KokomoWX Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Several inches of sleet and snow with a brief lull in progress. Awaiting Tim's weenie band to move east. We were rain for the start of buses, then heavy sleet, then snow for our middle and high school students. We got them here but no power. Delayed the elementary pick up. With Duke reporting 6000+ customers in Howard County without power, we dismissed at 9 AM. What a mess this has been for us today. I think today marks the 10th snow day for the year, Countless delays and weekends with cancelled activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Wonderful pics Baum! That first one could be a postcard! Saw the last trace of snow on the northside of Kenosha. Nada here in Racine. Just windy and cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Detroit proper and the immediate metro area should definitely be in the lower end of the 8-10" prediction. Thinking more like 6-8" will be the final totals, based on the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimChgo9 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Looks like a bout 4"-5" around here. Heavy, wet, concrete type snow. Clogging up the snowblower, and no fun to shovel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitelakeroy Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Northern and Western Burbs "should" get above 10" with this event SREFs did best ... got a bit out of hand but then again if last evenings rain would have been snow No complaints from me!! This winter is now A++. I don't think my kids will ever see anything like this again (unless they move to a LES belt or mountains)!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 BTW, Paul Goodloe from The Weather Channel is downtown. It's funny that he only measured 2" when he was on the air a little after 9 AM. You could hardly tell it was snowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 funny, radar shows very little over western ohio, but it is snowing pretty good out there............. Yeah, Toledo's sort of in no-man's land between CLE, DTX and IWX's radar sites. Same thing happened with the Jan. 5th storm. Really need to set up better radar coverage there.

dmc76 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Yeah, really need to get a radar put up for the Toledo area. They're sort of in no-man's land between CLE, DTX and IWX's radar sites. Also need one in the Thumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sokolow Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 And proud to announce that mixing has begun.Was wondering when the mixing would start; I still had 38F and a nasty whipping rain at 22:30.4.5" of wet cement on the gound above a foul layer of pedestrian killing ice. Shotcrete on all the cars, boot-wrecking salty slush floating in puddles high enough to leak into overshoes. A bitter gusting wind coming around corners onto N-S streets. In our household this season we've got two auto road damage flats so far, three cycle flats, and comically destroyed rim. I see they've starting chucking sandbags into the more yawning craters. Would rather they'd raised the city sticker price by 100% and used it for surfacing. Overall I'd forgotten how hostile Chicago is to cyclists and pedestrians: whole swathes of the Southside with grandpas trudging through puddles and dodging traffic on the streets because of the number of vacant or waste ground frontages where no-one has responsibility to clear sidewalks, or the absentee owner just doesn't care. Crosswalk access and bus stop access often hindered by plow wake piles, making walking down the side of State St. the safer option. Utterly miserable for old persons, people with wheelchairs, canes, walkers, crutches, strollers, or grocery carriers. I saw two young men lift up a grandmother and carry her to a clear sidewalk south of Chinatown this AM. "Can an active Chinese-American grandmother safely navigate the sidewalks and public transit access with her shopping: yes" should be the minimum standard for pedestrian infrastructure. It would have been nice to see ORD get slammed so we could chalk up the record and move on to pothole patching season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 One last little weenie band moving through, and that'll do it. Calling a storm total of 3.5" here. Up to 73.1" for the season. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 4 inches here so far, 35 MPH winds looking to increase to 45-50 in a few hours. Snowfall rates 1-1.5 inches per hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
