mimillman Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Dry air in the heart of the city causing issues again. Roads are wet with puddles so will need solid rates and big flakes to overcome that if anything is to stick. Visibility has improved and I can see the south loop buildings from my place which are about 1.5 miles away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the heavy stuff was targeted around 6 PM in NE IL anyway so hopefully this picks up in the next hour or two... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prob trying to work off a big supper lol. Mix of freezing rain and sleet here. Nice glaze on the trees/snowpack. Paved areas still just wet with temps hovering at 32. Now I know how it feels to live in Kirksville with the radar being down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 14 minutes ago, Hoosier said: Given the amount of blowing snow we are already seeing, should be able to knock the visibility down to around 1/4 mile in the heavier banding. If not at the reporting sites, then in between. WGN reporting 1/2 mile visibility at Lansing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have been 1995 or 1996. The reaction above seems a bit too contrived. I like the GHD tsnow clip in downtown Chicago too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
