Geos Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Rates really slacked off. 2.6" today through 3:40pm. That banding in Iowa is heading for areas south of the WI/IL stateline.

Tom Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Def looks like for N IL from I-80 to the IL/WI border will get the most accumulations out of this event. Snowfall rates may be pretty heavy for the Hawks game in 2 hours. A solid 3-5" looks good, maybe a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott26 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Any Illinois fans on here!?!? Go Illini baby!!Yup, nice win against Michigan State. I'm actually thinking about going there for college, but I may not because their Meteorology department isn't as good as other in-state schools like Northern Illinois.

Geos Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Looking like most of the snow will be done by 12am. Probably the most intense will be through by 10.

6789 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Anywhere North of I-80 looks good for some decent snow, I think the heaviest band might set up on the I-88 to I-90 corridors, if not a little South of them. Maybe a little higher performing than I was thinking, heavy snow at the moment, but not the heavy snow I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Dubzz Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 So my weather station temp gauge is interesting... The temps around here have been higher than what was been reported lately, but now it's back to normal. Don't know if the sensor is off a little, or maybe it really does just get warmer here than other places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 I just came home from seeing my niece and driving back was getting real slick out there. I gotta say, it certainly feels and looks like mid-January rather than the 1st day of March. Temps in the mid 10's, powdery snowfall, winds crankin' out of the north and a fresh blanket of snow everywhere. This system may not be the big one we were hoping for but it will do in my book.

East Dubzz Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Where are you going? Do you have a scholarship or something?I'm going to Augustana College in Rock Island, IL to play. I don't have a scholarship..got offered one by Quincy, but turned it down because their program isn't good. Augustana is a D3 school so they can't offer, but Illinois is D1 so I obviously wouldn't play there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'm noticing more moisture feeding into the back end of the main band in SE NE/N KS. Looks like its tapping to moisture from the south and water vapor imagery confirms the increase in moisture supply over KS/NE. This may elongate the band even longer than anticipated.
