Crazy how much erosion has occurred in places over the last few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can maybe fit a towel and a cooler on the beach, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimillman Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Has been coming down in the Loop at a good clip for the past several hours, but nothing sticking, not even to grassy surfaces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Pound town under this band. If this pivots overhead for any period of time, we may really stack up a few inches 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciascia Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 This is beautiful to watch from inside, but kinda sucks to be walking out in. Winds are picking up, but despite snowing all morning & into afternoon, not really sticking to anything but grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what to tell you If weather.gov says it, it must be true then! That’s from IKK, which reports rain half the time it’s snowing. It’s junk. Anyways, must be one hell of a rain/snow line in this county. Grass and elevated surfaces are accumulating here now. Maybe some flood warnings for Momence?

Yes, those of us outside of the affected areas would love to see snow photos, especially with autumn colors still on display. And maybe some Halloween pumpkins / decorations covered in snow.
