Natester Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 So far the winds aren't too bad, although I'm not sure if this will be the case a little later. Snow has been dry in nature for a few hours now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btcs31 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Measured 7" here in the West Loop. Have Frozen on Ice tickets to the United Center this afternoon. Easy trip for me, but wondering if they would cancel something like that. I can't imagine many people will be traveling in this weather to make the show.

We won't even reach the lower end of projected totals, but we scored a couple of these at least. laf +sn.png Yeah, its a shame the dry slot is moving in quick. Close to an inch an hour here. Closing in on 3" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Winds are picking up here, and knocking some of the snow off the trees. Can still hear popping once in awhile. Just went out and removed some snow. Was a little nervous underneath that big front tree lol. Snow has slackened some in the last hour or so, but still somewhere in the 8-9" range.

Jackstraw Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yep. We won't even reach the lower end of projected totals, but we scored a couple of these at least. You might get lucky, looks like the dry slot is filling in some back around Illinois, think that bay slug will scoot NW of me though. Bring on the big dog 2 inches!

Chicago WX Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Yeah, its a shame the dry slot is moving in quick. Close to an inch an hour here. Closing in on 3" here. It was a good rally though, from what I was expecting this morning. Looks like there's some filling in on ILX's radar at the moment, but not sure if it'll move north of us...or if it'll stay snow.

Natester Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Winds have just picked up a tiny bit a minute ago. Possibly had a gust of 35 mph just now. Definitely not a repeat of December 20, 2012 thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
