cyclone77 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Pretty cool surface reflection of the fresh snow from last night. Temps are much colder over southern MN/northwest IA where some of the deeper snow accumulated.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's changing over at Decatur now, as they're reporting unknown precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll make sure to take a photo of every flake that falls. Does Chicago need to send in all it's plows to help dig you out? National Guard too, please. Just in case...

Geos Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Stunning winter scene pictures Chitown, Freak, and Bo! Did not get a sunset tonight here. Clouds and breezy conditions prevailed all day. It does feel seasonable outside now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Snow mixing in here right now. At least it's something in this otherwise dismal December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I just back from helping with a structure fire. The little light rain wasn't bad, but then it suddenly changed to sl**t and was hard enough to sting my cheeks. Then it kept changing to rain, snow, and sl**t. It was flipping worse than the GFS. Now getting some big fatties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Not surprising. Arctic fronts are usually good for wringing out any available moisture. I'm kind of surprised IWX hasn't stuck flurries in the forecast (outside LES areas). ...and there it is. Monday Night A 20 percent chance of snow showers after 2am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 22. North wind around 5 mph. Tuesday A 20 percent chance of snow showers before 2pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 27. North wind 5 to 10 mph. I've picked up a whopping .5" this month. Could add another tenth or two before it is over. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Got down to 16 this morning. Much of northern IA was down close to zero over that fresh snow cover. Tomorrow will make it 5 weeks since last measurable snow. With no snow in the forecast until next weekend it looks like December will go down with goose eggs in the snow department. That's pretty unusual for one location to have no snow in Dec, but most of the region hasn't had any either. What a strange month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Today is such a beautiful day. Off and on snow showers but mostly they're confined to the Keweenaw and well east of Marquette. That has allowed the sun to shine at times. Just doesn't get any better than this for me... such a peaceful feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hockey rink has been plowed. Time to finally enjoy winter fun. 24F and falling. I grew up playing hockey as a kid on frozen ponds around the area. Me and my cousin were able to play last year and met Patrick Kanes uncle and his son there. Was pretty awesome time. I started skating at 2 years old and played hockey my entire life, literally nothing beats playing on a frozen pond. I really hope I am able to do it this year as well.

ILSNOW Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 From KLOT to Alek lake effect for him on monday BUTANTICIPATE THAT THE GREATEST CHANCES FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL BERELATIVELY CLOSE TO THE LAKE...WITH ONLY SCT -SHSN OR FLURRIESFARTHER INLAND INTO THE CHICAGO METRO AREA. ALSO...WITH LOW LEVELFLOW SLOWLY...BUT CONTINUOUSLY BACKING FROM NELY TO NWLY FROM MONDAYMORNING THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...DO NOT ANTICIPATE THAT ANY SINGLELAKE PLUME...SHOULD ONE DEVELOP...TO REMAIN OVER ANY GIVEN AREA FORA SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME...SO WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT ANYACCUMULATIONS WOULD BE BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA.

Sounds like you are right...south Chicago was apparently quite screwed. MDW reported 0.6" in November. Its a coop obs but from what I understand he is a local historian so Im sure his reports are very accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
