cabiness42 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Looking at this storm on the radar and a single low pressure system is causing precipitation from Arkansas all the way up to New Brunswick, including blizzard warnings in IL/IN and tornado warnings in VA at the same time. Only rain here so far, but a ton of it, and it is expected to get cold enough to turn to snow sometime between 6pm and midnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 We already have 4 inches of heart attack snow. Weather Channel has a reporter live in Michigan City. You are officially screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yep, I saw that earlier. At least it isn't Cantore. Last time Cantore came within 15 miles of where I live, an F-4 tornado killed 13 people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got about 6-7 inches, and it is supposed to snow all night too. A good chunk of The Region is without power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 We got a small dusting. We're suppose to get 3 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Got brutalized here. Probably 8 or 9 inches so far. Power went out at work a couple times, streets are horrid with ditched cars along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 It just missed us. We got the really high winds 45 mph+ and the cold temps. But no snow, which was nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Half an inch and minimal winds yesterday. Everywhere around us has 4-9 inches. Weird stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Got about 2 inches yesterday. Nothing bad at all. All of it will probably melt this weekend when it's suppose to be in the mid 50s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I think I saw someone put on Facebook that we got 14-16 inches. Currently in state of emergency and I think a travel ban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 What do you take? I've had chronic migraines since I was a kid, the weather gets me too. I started as an Imitrex user (made me sick) now I am on relpax but my mom swears by this dissolvable tab that just came out. My doc only gives me 4 pills per refill which is bulls***. Sorry for not responding earlier, but I just take a couple advils, some water, and go straight to bed with some ice on the head. Nothing really defeats it for me unless I am sleeping some 6-8 hours with some ice on the head and some sort of pain-relief medicine (Advil).
