After a long stretch of clear but cool days, rain is in the forecast and maybe snow for Sunday. We have not had a single snowflake yet.

Since I'm a very generous person, I would be more than happy to send you some. C.O.D of course...

We're finally in the promised 40F+ window for a week. I'll be glad to finally see the snow go away.

Just had the worst commute in my life this morning weather wise. Blowing snow with zero to 5ft visibility over farm fields in the pitch black. Mostly only able to judge where the road is by signs and ditch snowbanks. A co-worker who usually arrives a 1/2hr later said he passed 5-6 cars in the ditch. There were none when I went through.

Even now at noon it's sunny one minute and then a blowing roof rattling whiteout the next. At least it isn't ridiculously cold.

edit: added some snips.. I don't think I can embed a gif or video without deteriorating the quality even more.

I'll try to post some screenshots from the dashcam when I get home if I remember...

Way back when I had a job interview at the Univ. of Illinois. We had just moved out here and I was driving a Chevy pickup with rear wheel drive only. When I got to the U of I it was a decent day with sunshine. I spent the entire day inside speaking to a bunch of folks. At the end of the day as I was leaving someone said, "Have fun with the snow." I had no idea what they were talking about since it was a sunny day when I last looked. Sure enough, the snow was falling like crazy. By the time I got to the highway, it was dark and snowing hard, plus the wind was howling across the highway at 90 degrees, so the snow looked like a river crossing the road. I couldn't see a damn thing and the entire road in front of me looked like one big field. I called my wife and told her I was going to be very late getting home because of the snow. She said, "What snow?" It was raining where we lived (50 miles south). I finally was able to tuck in behind a semi and just followed him, hoping he wouldn't drive off the road. When I got about 10 miles away from home, the snow abruptly turned to rain and the road was clear the rest of the way. But that was my worst commute ever. Same situation as your nightmare.

We got 3" over night.

Those who hit the road after 06:30 had a bad commute this morning. I left 5 minutes earlier (05:55) and made the same time, 30 minutes.

The GM normally get in the office at ~06:40, today it was 08:00.

Now as unbelievable as it might sound, this was a "snow day", so the school bus didn't run!!!

I had 1 snow day in my life back in 1964 and it was because we had 3' of snow in the driveway

Expect the end of "Junuary" with forecasted 2-3" of rain the upcoming week
