HillsdaleMIWeather Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Heaviest snow of the day just hit here, coming down a probably 1.5-2" hour right now with gigantic flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Just a tad too warm for anything more than a frosted look to the ground and roofs. Been fun watching the snow falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Coming down gangbusters here. Think LOT did a helluva job from 48 hours out given the gradient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargers09 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Just got home. Roughly about 4 inches after compaction so I'd estimate we avoided most of the rain and ended up with about 4-5 before this brief lull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanDe680 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I'd say the worst is over for Chicago westward, seems like -SN going forward. Gary meanwhile is still getting blasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castaway Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Congrats to those who are enjoying it. At 12 in the afternoon, the light wind driven snow wasn't sticking anywhere. And now I'm still happily surprised it still isn't sticking to the roads or sidewalks here in Oak Brook. I hope this tapers off indefinitely soon. It's just a nuisance. I'm a go big or go home type of person, especially heading into March. My call for 1-4" in Dupage is looking good. Couple more hours to go. Half inch here currently.

harrisale Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Dropped down to 29.5 as soon as the sunset. ZR threat looking much more signifcant now. Only spent 2 hours above freezing, and peaked at 32.7 so there's still about a 1/10th of an inch of ice on surfaces/trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Coming down gangbusters here. Think LOT did a helluva job from 48 hours out given the gradient. Hasn't come easy this winter...from the Nov storm, Dec 28, January 9, this one and maybe some others that I'm forgetting. Sucks to have that sharp gradient right over highly populated areas.

There's at least a chance after these last spokes of showers we dry out until the column is supportive of basically just snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miller.b.time Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Grass has turned white in Carmel, IN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Nothing like waiting for the fat lady to sing. Started getting 2 inch clumps right around 4:20 . Started sticking much quicker than expected considering nearly 1.5 inches of liquid since the onset. Have around an inch now vis down to about a mile. Coming down nice and steady. We'll see how long it lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogieman Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Flint... we're getting a good dumping. I got up at around 10:30 and it was already white outside. Temp was 34°. Around 1:00 or so, we went out to clean up the slop. There was 3" of "Slurpee" at that point. We pushed most of it with the curved shovels. It was "cardiac event" snow all the way, maybe 6:1 at best. By the time we were done, it had over 1/2" on it again. Around 3:30, I had to make a store run. The van was already covered with another 3" of slop. The roads were AWFUL. If I wasn't going just up the road a mile and back, I'd have aborted the mission. Right now, it's 32° and has been for a few hours. I've been hoping for it to drop a few degrees so the ratios improve. If it stays this dense, the snowblower will be useless. I should have bought some Run Chata while I was out! I'm about to throw some chicken in the pressure cooker to make me some soup stock while I go out to shovel another round of slop. If anyone really misses having some snow to shovel, I'll gladly feed you to come help me clear our yard! I have a heart condition and I'm not really supposed to be doing this, but it's not going to shovel itself! I'm guessing it's going to be throwing down pretty much all night and into tomorrow AM. Sound about right? Edit to add: As far as I know, it was all snow from the start here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I guess Roger Smith's calls busted hard all over the place. 12-18" for Chicago if I remember right. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I think up this way the advisory can be axed. Definitely in WI now. Down to freezing now, but it's probably too late for more than a couple tenths. Yeah Roger's call did not hold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
