If this storm ends up becoming a Blizzard, even if it doesn't, we should pay tribute to our friend from the past, Dominic Rocco.  He would have been having so much fun tracking this storm system.  I k

OT but that was the dumbest playcall in sports history.

Round #4 finished off the driveway, walkways and I still need to clean up the deck.  It has been quite the exercise.  I read that an avg 10' x 20' driveway full of snow from this system weighs a ton.

Multiple reports of accidents on I-80 and closures between Omaha and Grand island. I'm surprised they haven't closed it completely. 

 

Between NE 80H Link; County Road 238 (3 miles east of Milford) and Northwest 40th Street (Lincoln). The road is closed because of drifting snow on the roadway.

 

Between Exit 409: US 6; East Lincoln; Waverly and Exit 405: US 77; Fremont;Wahoo (2 miles east of Lincoln). The road is closed due to an accident.

Thanks everyone for the kind words.  I'm sure you guys are as excited as I am about this Blizzard!  What a monster and "spread the wealth" system.  Looking forward to enjoy this daytime storm while kicking back, watching the radar/TV and riding it out.

I think that warmer pocket of 42F water temps in Lake Michigan is really doing some enhancing of the snowfall.  2F can make a BIG difference when talking Lehs snowfall.  I'm averaging 1"/hr over the last 2 hours.  Wasn't expecting that much given the nature of this system according to what guidance was suggesting.  If we can maintain this type of intensity through 6-9pm...oh my Lord will we have some hefty totals in NE IL!  Going to measure in about 30 minutes.

Looks to my untrained eye that there is some lake enhancement going on

      Very true. The crazy thing is that as an American, I have seen my vacation time actually DECREASE since being bought out by a French Company. The site I worked at got closed and folks got absorbed into another division, and in the process my almost 6 weeks of PTO (I worked there 18 years) with a 6.5 week cap, got cut down to 4.5 weeks. The biggest thing I would love to see (not necessarily a French thing) would be a 4 day work week. My previous tenure at the company, I was salary and working with a Japanese customer. Since our Friday was their Saturday, we usually cut out about 1-2pm on Fridays. I worked briefly for a refinery services company and they did the same thing, working 9-ish hour days Monday through Thursday, then on Friday we would check in for a few hours in the morning then the rest of the day was ours. My current role, everything happens at 5pm on Friday.
