StrangeSox Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Just saw this: Winter storm warning. Rain/sleet south, snow/sleet Chicago and north and west, becoming all snow, turning heavy. Worst conditions mid- to late morning into afternoon. Strengthening northeast winds, 35-50 m.p.h. gusts. Drifting snow. Possible thundersnow with whiteout conditions. 8-14 inches Chicago, and north and west. 1-3 inches far south. WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retro1983hat Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I was expecting all of this overnight. We now have a few inches but it looks like it is getting horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Downtown is quiet right now. I don't know how things are at my house, my wife is volunteering at our kid's school right now so I can't call her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 My commute home (Des Plaines -> Woodridge) might crack 3 hours. it was over 2:30 last Thursday. I'm so sick of this snow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Carbondale is weird as hell now. Tornado warnings all night last night and I guess one was in the area and at one point while I was walking into the basketball game the temperature literally dropped about 20 degrees, it was the strangest thing ever. It's been about 65 the last few days down here but supposedly we might be getting snow soon too. Weird weather indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been about 65 the last few days down here but supposedly we might be getting snow soon too. Weird weather indeed. Man...do I miss that Carbondale weather. It can get crazy but when you get that annual 10 days of 80 degree weather in mid to late March....it all seems ok! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Yeah, just cool enough to require long sleeves and pants, but not too cold to need a coat, and the sunshine, wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
