LWX has 6-8” Sunday night through Wednesday afternoon for McHenry/Oakland.  :snowing:

 

Heck yea! This morning was pretty awesome waking up to fresh snow on the ground and then getting a couple hours of good +SN. Its not that cold either, upper 20s / low 30s. We hit up the sledding hill at waterfront greens and now I'm exhausted. Had to pull the kids on sleds back home, they were out of gas. 

Looks like we are in for another 6-8" through Wednesday. I've only ever experienced this out west where it basically snows off and on all day. Crazy to think just 20 miles east its bare.

Great picture!  I’m pretty sure I drove by your neck of the woods this morning (took the long scenic way coming back from Lowe’s in Oakland) as I saw a few ice fishers out on one of the coves.  

Yeah, latest from LWX has 6-8” through Wednesday which would be fantastic.  I’ve gotten 9” since Friday afternoon’s snowfall....a great stretch of winter here.

At the 1985 second inauguration for President Reagan it was 7 degrees at noon, which necessitated having the ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda. I honestly don't know when (ever is a long time) that will happen again. 

The night before the cancellation I experienced -2 temp at 1am and 30mph winds. The old scale wind chill was like -40.  Friend up near Sugarloaf  said he was -7 with sustained 35 and like -60 old scale. The winds really let up quick after 1am but never died complete and I hit -6 which was tied in 94.
