I'm pretty far north. Looks like south suburbs is what got most of it from the post above.

That's true, but I am in McHenry and we didn't get shit. It was pretty much flurries that accumulated to a little bit.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i mean, you can't see the grass in mchenry so it's likely more than most of that chart.

 

[Broke EF]

I can still see pretty much all of my grass, and that is after getting a little more snow last night.

I'm at 176 and the river and have 3-4 inches in places, and all of my grass is still covered.

So what you're saying is, I just got hosed. That or the wind is so bad by me it blew it mostly all away. Either one makes sense, the wind is crazy by me.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

There was a ton of wind.

The other house had a downspout ripped off and other downspout parts were in the yard, garbage cans all over, etc...

 

[boostedguy05]

i got an inch at best, work got a solid 2, co worker in carol stream says he got a dusting, and can still see all his grass.

The forecasters got this wrong again. A few days out they were forecasting freezing rain Saturday afternoon and then turning into snow in the evening. The forecast said 3" here in Naperville. We got maybe a 1/16".

The only thing they were right on was the wind!

 

[CMNTMXR57]

As I posted earlier (well last night anyway), the one conservative source, WU now has 8" for us between Friday and Saturday. And they haven't backed down... They've gone up.

Shall we start the wagering??

 

[Yaj Yak]

thread should be retitled "boomers and gen'x'r's complain about meteorologists"

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Should an interesting weekend... Snow, then rain, then temps quickly dropping 30°, with a little bit of wind to whip it all it up into something like the offspring of a 7-11 slurpee fucking a snow-cone.

Let's see how accurate they are being 30+ hours out.

Maybe they like to stay up late, like nightowls.... so maybe "5am" is still Friday night for them, ?
