I shouldn'a dun it. Oh well, I did it.

I took a run from Chicago's OHare airport to Waterloo, Iowa Thursday evening. I knew a storm was brewing which is why I shouldn't have done it. Ran into the first snow at the De Kalb Oasis, heavy snow from there to just past the Iowa line. Iowa doesn't seem to believe in salt, so the roads there are treacherous. I-380 had a towing service ban, so if you went into the ditch you were stuck. Waterloo had six inches on the ground, many roads not yet plowed when I got there. Made it, and made it back OK, but that trip was exhausting in more ways that one.

Right now, clear and 22 degrees F, going to a high of 30. Should be clear the next couple of days-- yes, I'm watching it like a hawk, another long trip today to Tennessee, I won't get back until late tomorrow night. But, the weather looks clear for this trip anyway.

2.C and dry ~until it started 'snowing'
It was more like 'dust particles' and not a flake in sight
Thankfully it wasn't heavy enough a fall, to set there and has now cleared away again

cold, windy and cloudy ahead of the storm which has been downgraded from a nor'easter.
Snow expected later this afternoon, and continuing through tomorrow evening.
We are expecting 4-8 inches of heavy wet snow.

The trip to Tennessee didn't happen, the freight is still in Japan as I write this, so I'm home in Villa park, Illinois where it is 25F under cloudy skies. Not much snow here-- about 4 inches-- but it was wet and that made heavy shoveling yesterday.

46F / 8C for a high and 30F for a low today. We have a 70% chance for another rain this coming Monday and we're excited that we just might get it.

We're actually about to be hit with a blizzard - 12 to 14 inches of snow and winds gusting to 40 mph. This is a huge Winter storm for this area of the country.

The temps rose and melted a bit of the 5 inches that had fallen....now it is sticking again as it gets darker and colder.
We still could see @ 8 inches; it is coming down hard again.

The Tennessee trip happened, good weather both ways. Back home now.

We're gonna get it today, but maybe not as bad as they were initially predicting. Winter storm watch got canceled, we're now under winter weather advisory. We could get 3 to 6 inches of snow this afternoon and evening. Temps won't change much today, we're presently at 33F, might get to a high of 36F and a low of 32F.
