miamarsden8 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Just now, ILwxchr said: 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. They did, as well as all police cars. They even stopped the gowest service. Like...it's crazy.

luckyweather Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I work for the PD. I haven't been paying real close attention to what they are on, got tired of listening to DID calls. You might have heard the mabas call for 3 alarm house fire in Harlem Roscoe. I posted here around 2pm at the onset of sn, wasn’t 10 minutes later we were evacuated from our house, next door neighbors house was fully engulfed. I saw trucks from Byron, Cherry Valley, etc- response was heavy, no hydrants out here. Everybody is fine but it was quite the wild scene, with the heavy fire, all the equipment, and the firefighting efforts in effectively blizzard conditions.

cyclone77 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Right at 11" on avg here. Back edge of the snow is slowly making it's way towards us, so perhaps another 2hrs to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure one of those will work out though lol I thought 3-5 was attainable downtown but I’d backtrack that to 1-3”. Think most of our accumulation will occur after midnight and lake areas may get a boost from lake enhancement/effect around rush hour. Unfortunate though that ORD will be the “nameplate” for Chicago for this event. It truly is misrepresentative of the actual city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaner88 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Can any pros help me out here? Wondering what’s persistently dampening radar returns in Cook County- on a loop it’s just been yellow and orange returns getting sliced up into greens as they move NNW.

It almost seems like a miracle that Chicago got a foot from that storm in November 1895, considering that the official site was located at Wabash and Congress back then.

Radtechwxman Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 My proximity to the dry slot and subsidence from this death band to my west is killing snow bands pivoting into my area.

miamarsden8 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 So uh...6.5 inches, maybe more out there. 45 mph gusts, 35 mph winds. Looks great out here, and my forecast so far is still good. I'd call it a good day, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciascia Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 While we’re in a now-cast event, high resolution models continue painting 8-12 inch totals for northern Cook county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Strange that areas near Woodstock are close to 10-12” already. Here in Lake Zurich (about 10 miles SE of there, in far SW Lake County), we’ve only had about 3” so far. Still looks beautiful though...and congrats to those in the jackpot so far.

Here in Lake Zurich (about 10 miles SE of there, in far SW Lake County), we’ve only had about 3” so far. Driving home this afternoon at the tail end of that early band it was an exponential difference in accumulation just driving northwest the five miles or so up Rt 14 from Crystal Lake.Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiTownSnow Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 about 1.5 down here. Honestly thought there would be more as it has been coming down like crazy since about 7.00pm. Heavy wet slop though. Hoping it keeps it up all night long but looking like its on the move and picking up the pace a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohwxguy Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Rather underwhelming so far here in Uptown, Chicago. It’s now 10 pm and while I can see the snow falling under the street lights outside my windows, for the most part it’s falling like rain. Doesn’t look even remotely close to accumulating yet.

miamarsden8 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Do you know how rare it is for Macomb to actually get hit by something good? We used to make a joke in our professor's class that he was a bad luck charm and kept tornadoes from hitting Macomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have maybe 4” of slop here in Libertyville and half of that came during this afternoon’s band. Not sure if we’re stuck in an area of subsidence or the lake is playing a role, but the driveway is soupy and everything continues to drip outside. Maybe once we drop below freezing things will accumulate quickly? Accumulation sure hasn’t been efficient at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably will be on lower end of forecast totals. But still has been nice seeing near white out conditions at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
