janetjanet998 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I think a new heavy deformation band is developing right over me or just NW a few miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelmantis Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Could be just the NWS radar view but I’m not liking this area of the radar one bit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Still getting some lightning just south down in Henry County. Lighter snows are lurking just west out towards the QC and up near Clinton. Hoping we can hold on to these higher rates a little while longer.

miamarsden8 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 They've taken all police off the county roads now. Here's my view... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of pastry on trees reminds me of 2/1/2015 where there was a few hours of rain before the changeover to snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it all changed over at like...4:30? So I think the roads are worse than anyone thinks because it mixed for a couple hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimillman Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Eh, will probably take another hour still for a turnover here. Oh well, at least I can say that downtown saw some flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoalCityWxMan Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Approaching 7.5” in Dekalb, hard to tell exactly with all the blowing though. Could see those 12-14” totals verify for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Kinda second guessing my bumped call of 3-4" and wondering if the original of 1-2" may be better. I'm pretty sure one of those will work out though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimChgo9 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 slushy mess on the roads and sidewalks, and the grass is covered without an inch or so I think. Hearing reports of IDOT pulling plows off the roads until conditions improve. Also hearing Route 38 is closed west of DeKalb (confirmation?). Some schools in my area closing also.

ILwxchr Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 WIU is closed tomorrow, so I don't have to worry about making my commute back until Tuesday afternoon. Nice to have an extra day off. Couple 14 inch reports up just north of me where that death band was earlier today. I went out and attempted my best and got several measurements between 12 and 14 inches at 8:30 north of Davenport, IA. Hard to be accurate with strong bursts of wind and snow still ripping hard. Guessing we will end up with another couple inches before its said and done. Depending on how fast the back edge pivots around...figured someone would end up with 15 inches out of this. Best snowstorm I've seen since 2/1/2011 anyway. I'm satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there a lot of other accidents you’re hearing about in the area? I know you said you work for a towing company (I think) so I figured you’d know, roads just seem awful and I’ve seen a number of people stuck in the last few hours.

It's 4-5 inches, 30 mph winds down here, though, and the commute has left people stranded, so...yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btcs31 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Congrats to all cashing in. At this point the red bands of pouring rain and steady 39F temp is enough to call it a day and see what I wake up to. So disheartening knowing a 20-30min drive gets me to snow. Here’s hoping to some conselation snow in the AM as the system moves out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several of my friends also got stuck in town too. Heard a report of 6.5" so far southeast of Macomb. My instructor also backed that up saying 67 is a no go. 74 is also a no go from QC to Galesburg.

mimillman Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Just quickly went outside. I’d say it’s about a 70/30 mix rain/snow at the moment in the heart of downtown. Strongest sustained winds i can remember so far this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can confirm the 67 thing. They probably didn't have too much of a choice. I was telling them on their Facebook that they need to shut it down because people are stranded, like, come on.

ILwxchr Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 A lot of power outages too in the Galesburg/Macomb area. Multiple power poles snapped in McDonough county. I believe they pulled the plows as well but don't quote me on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
