February 24, 201610 yr QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Feb 24, 2016 -> 11:51 AM) There's a reason folks settled on the west side of the great lakes Access to the Illinois and Mississippi rivers? Snowing pretty good downtown. Windy too. Edited February 24, 201610 yr by Jenksismybitch
February 24, 201610 yr Looking at this storm on the radar and a single low pressure system is causing precipitation from Arkansas all the way up to New Brunswick, including blizzard warnings in IL/IN and tornado warnings in VA at the same time. Only rain here so far, but a ton of it, and it is expected to get cold enough to turn to snow sometime between 6pm and midnight.
February 24, 201610 yr We already have 4 inches of heart attack snow. Weather Channel has a reporter live in Michigan City. You are officially screwed.
February 24, 201610 yr QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Feb 24, 2016 -> 04:48 PM) Weather Channel has a reporter live in Michigan City. You are officially screwed. Yep, I saw that earlier. At least it isn't Cantore.
February 24, 201610 yr Yep, I saw that earlier. At least it isn't Cantore. Last time Cantore came within 15 miles of where I live, an F-4 tornado killed 13 people.
February 25, 201610 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 24, 2016 -> 05:51 PM) That storm was overblown just a bit. Maybe for you. We've got about 6-7 inches, and it is supposed to snow all night too. A good chunk of The Region is without power.
February 25, 201610 yr Got brutalized here. Probably 8 or 9 inches so far. Power went out at work a couple times, streets are horrid with ditched cars along the way.
February 25, 201610 yr It just missed us. We got the really high winds 45 mph+ and the cold temps. But no snow, which was nice.
February 25, 201610 yr Half an inch and minimal winds yesterday. Everywhere around us has 4-9 inches. Weird stuff

February 25, 201610 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 08:38 AM) Well for Chicago it was. We ended up with around a foot of heart attack snow. We are still under a travel state of emergency.
February 25, 201610 yr Author The view outside of my window this morning: http://i.imgur.com/jag5jBb.jpg
February 25, 201610 yr Got about 2 inches yesterday. Nothing bad at all. All of it will probably melt this weekend when it's suppose to be in the mid 50s
February 25, 201610 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 08:53 AM) We ended up with around a foot of heart attack snow. We are still under a travel state of emergency. I saw some footage, its incredible how a few miles separate nothing from a blizzard.
February 25, 201610 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 09:06 AM) I saw some footage, its incredible how a few miles separate nothing from a blizzard. It is par for the course here. I saw a stat where 34 miles separated a foot of snow, from no snow at all.
February 25, 201610 yr I think I saw someone put on Facebook that we got 14-16 inches. Currently in state of emergency and I think a travel ban.
February 26, 201610 yr What do you take? I've had chronic migraines since I was a kid, the weather gets me too. I started as an Imitrex user (made me sick) now I am on relpax but my mom swears by this dissolvable tab that just came out. My doc only gives me 4 pills per refill which is bulls***. Sorry for not responding earlier, but I just take a couple advils, some water, and go straight to bed with some ice on the head. Nothing really defeats it for me unless I am sleeping some 6-8 hours with some ice on the head and some sort of pain-relief medicine (Advil).

I completely lose vision with mine so it was needed
March 7, 201610 yr This winter weather today is HORRIBLE. 60 degrees and sunny in early March? Unacceptable.
March 7, 201610 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 07:08 AM) Is it over yet? No snow in the forecast between now and spring.
