vandy125 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 The rain/sleet/snow/blizzard is now circling around where I am at in Des Moines. It is very weird. Everywhere else appears to be getting nailed, but not Des Moines (yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Gleason Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I guess the state police have shut down Route 47 between Huntley and Woodstock due to the insane drifting. It's Hell out there man, pure Hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 (edited) Temperature went from 58 to 36 here yesterday in 20 minutes. I can't remember seeing something like that here before in a while. At 5 PM, it was a thunderstorm and 58, by 9 it was 30, light snow, and 30 MPH winds with gusts. As for today....well whatever snow hasn't melted yet is blowing all over the damn place, and the wind is so bad I think the draft that was blowing into my room through the window got me sick as hell. Where is the damn global warming when we need it, I want it now instead of in July when it'll be 100 instead of 95.

Kid Gleason Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Yup, my neighbor just called and said it was closed. He knows this because the cops told him to go another way. My car is spending the night here at work, and I'm taking the train home. F this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a back way home from one of the "Court Security Personal" so I will try that, but yeah, I believe 47 is either closed or advised to avoid between Woodstock and Huntley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Thanks to Metra, I am home. Do get to the back roads, atleast the wooded ones. They are actually the only safe ones right now, aside from the roads in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I went up to our beach this weekend, and it has 20 degrees colder up there, as there was still a good 50 feet worth of an ice shelf. Most of our harbor was still ice covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen forecasts calling for a mix of rain and snow Thursday night/Friday morning. We'll see. I hope not, I've had enough of "God's Vomit" for this winter.
