New snow pix from a big snow burst...

More snow pix are here...

The last three pictures were taken about 3:25pm CST...as visibility dropped to 1/8mi at Chicago/Palwaukee in Snow and Blowing Snow. It’s less than 1000’ to the road in those pictures and only about 600’ to the building you can barely make out...

Yeah, lake effect snow bands are fun. They are forecasting up to 5“ for us by the end of the day. Oh joy.

10” overnight...5“ today... and the new forecast reads like this...

. Winter storm warning through tonight.
Rest of afternoon. Periods of lake effect snow. Windy with blowing and drifting snow. Additional snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches. Highs in the lower 20s. North winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 40 mph.

Tonight. Lake effect snow this evening with local accumulations of an additional 3 to 6 inches. Total snow accumulation of 12 inches in favored spots. Areas of blowing snow in the evening. Lows around 10. North winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts to around 40 mph in the evening becoming northwest 10 to 15 mph and gusty late at night.


Oh yeah...I’m feeling warm fuzzies from this.
