bud2380 Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Snow intensifying in far eastern Iowa and into northern Illinois and much of Wisconsin. Models consistently showing heavier snow in those areas so seems to be right on track. I’ll be in a lull for awhile here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabitha Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 It has snowed very heavily here and accumulated nicely since about 3 PM MDT. There is much blowing snow and the visibility has been under 1/4 a mile for quite a while. Temperature in the upper 20's. I'm feeling much better now.

I'm soo happy as near blizzard conditions have persisted for three hours and the snow is piling up nicely...some good luck as a heavy deformation band remains stationary over the area. Everything is soo pretty, pristine, & picturesque...just like the Overlook Hotel as I peer off my deck and look out towards the canyon to my south. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJ9aT-Wa_tE I put my cute fireplace that the rental agency man taught me how to use the other day...
