Tom Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Hmm, very interesting to see the last minute shift SE for Chitown...LOT must be updating their graphics page...I see the EPS shifted SE and now most CAM's show the RN/SN line south of a line from ORD/Oakbrook area.... Edit: just read their LOT discussions and the SE shift is well noted... Quote .SHORT TERM... Issued at 251 AM CST Tue Jan 9 2024 Through Wednesday... Key Messages: * First "thump" of snow in progress. Highest rates across NE Illinois/NW Indiana now through 6-7 AM. Snow-coated roads will lead to much increased travel times this morning. * Round 2 later this morning through the afternoon, with a slight SE shift noted in overnight guidance. Period of 1"/hour rates or even a bit higher focusing from late-AM through about 5-6 PM or so. Quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzcoat Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Roads were crap here in Des Moines area last night 11pm. Only 2-3" at the time, but the 32F temp made things ultra slick. Even in 4 Wheel / felt like 2 wheel. Experienced winter driver. No plows so it was rutty and threw you around even in full size pickup.

Tom Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Drove up to Sunrise Ski Resort where the base elevation is 9,200 ft and quite a bit more snow OTG. It was snowing lightly and the clouds were floating low and hugging the mountain side.
