I'm all over John Dees update tomorrow...

[Holeshot]

New update !!

Statement as of 8:20 PM CST on January 30, 2011


... Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect from 3 PM Monday to
3 PM CST Tuesday...
... Blizzard watch remains in effect from Tuesday afternoon
through Wednesday afternoon...

A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect from 3 PM Monday to
3 PM CST Tuesday. A blizzard watch remains in effect from Tuesday
afternoon through Wednesday afternoon.

* Timing... lake effect snow potential and system snows increase
Monday afternoon into Monday Night. Lake effect potential
continues Tuesday... with another stronger low arriving later
Tuesday through at least early Wednesday afternoon.

* Snow accumulations... 4 to 7 inches of accumulation Monday
afternoon into Tuesday. Additional 15 to 21 inches Tuesday
night into Wednesday with storm totals around 2 feet in some
areas.

* Winds... northeast winds 15 to 30 mph Tuesday and Tuesday night
gradually shift north Wednesday. Gusts of 40 to 60 mph with
highest winds in open areas and near Lake Michigan.

* Impacts... reduced visibilities to 1/4 mile or less at times
due to snow and blowing snow... resulting in treacherous travel
conditions. Worst conditions Tuesday night into Wednesday when
near zero whiteout conditions and drifts of 5 to 10 feet
possible. Potential for paralyzing blizzard.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of snow
will cause primarily travel difficulties. Be prepared for snow
covered roads and limited visibilities... and use caution while
driving.

A blizzard watch means there is a potential for falling and/or
blowing snow with strong winds and extremely poor visibilities.
This can lead to whiteout conditions and make travel very
dangerous.

Maybe inland, bare minimum, if you're lucky.
They actually upped the minimums now.

It was 16-24" by the lake, now it's 19-24".
I reckon you inlanders might get a foot at least, if you're lucky.

[Ricky Bobby]

Want to borrow me one Tony? I have to be at work no excuses :(yea no problem u just have to drop me off at my van at the shop and u can run the t-blazer :thumbsup

Ill keep you guys updated with totals here in Kenosha, got the ole yardstick on the side of the building away from the wind.
I hope my Subie can power thru the 8ft drifts.

[jamestown478]

I would love to restore one of those

[michelle]

Lots of drifts here.

[whistlin six]

i got a flight to catch wednesday afternoon i hope this is not true!

good luck with that...

runways>> :chair: <<snow

[Yooformula]

damm the weather channel is showing some pretty scary amounts of snow for some areas...went joyriding a bit and saw drifts already between 1-2' and no hint of plows.

[pOrk]

Ran some errands last night and realized I was the only one using my directionals. All laws of the road out the window its snowing! People are idiots, I'm just glad the wife has a jeep for this mess :)

[jbiscuit]

drifting was crazy this morning...3 foot drift on my truck. 4WD FTW. Was nice on the roads this morning, traffic was light. Everyone must have stayed home. Can't wait for the snow tomorrow! Should be a great day to get some errands done when everyone is indoors scared

[hrsp]

in newberlin now and its barely snowing...hmmm...they said later its gonna get "bad"...we will see...

[TheRX7Project]

Watched a guy in a Tracker take out a sign and get stuck in the median on HWY on the way home from work...

[PureSound15]

Drifts are ridiculous - at least it's light so far

[GTSLOW]

Ran some errands last night and realized I was the only one using my directionals. All laws of the road out the window its snowing! People are idiots, I'm just glad the wife has a jeep for this mess :)

Sooo true. It's funny how 3 lanes turn into one. Stop signs no longer exist. The centerline is completely ignored.

[Yooformula]

All laws of the road out the window lately.
Fixed for ya. seems like lately there are more and more idiots on the road at all times. :fire

[Exitspeed]

I saw three cars in the ditch on the freeway on the way to work this morn. One Silverado, one Geo Tracker, and a Malibu. The Malibu was in the center median on the highway and the snow was way over the front of the hood and over the rear bumper.

[Crawlin]

all hype, haha. atleast it has scared some of my professors to cancel classes for wednesday which means two exams got pushed back an extra day or two.

[Yooformula]

all hype, haha. atleast it has scared some of my professors to cancel classes for wednesday which means two exams got pushed back an extra day or two.

you think all hype? we haven even got the main storm yet!:shades

[Nix]

I left the hemi in the garabge today and took the wifes Exploder to work seeing as she stayed home with the kids today.

The drifts out by me were a good size, atleast 2-3ft in some areas.

[FoxStang]

all hype, haha. atleast it has scared some of my professors to cancel classes for wednesday which means two exams got pushed back an extra day or two.
All of mine are skeptical, to be fair we only have an inch or two on the ground here in Chicago. Though the worst is yet to come and its windy as shit outside right now, 35 mph av and excess of 40 gusts, doesn't help that I'm a block from the lake either (can't wait to see the 18 foot waves).

[Crawlin]

you think all hype? we haven even got the main storm yet!:shades

i do. i'm not gonna be mad if we get snow.

i'm just saying as usually they build this all up and then as the days progress they keep lowering the totals.

i'll say we get snow, but it'll be about half as much as the projected 24" totals they were saying for some areas

i do agree that the WIND will be the problem, not the snow totals

[That_Guy]

I'm already getting phone calls about closing our branch tomorrow and possibly closing early tonight.. What a mess! The weather channel is calling this a paralyzing storm. "nice"

[whistlin six]

Holy mother this storm is massive. There's no escaping this one, it's creeping right at us.

[flyin_blue_egg]

Well I must say it wasn't all hype like usuall.

[flyin_blue_egg]

I'm already getting phone calls about closing our branch tomorrow and possibly closing early tonight.. What a mess! The weather channel is calling this a paralyzing storm. "nice"


I've also seen it called "snowmagedon" and "snowpocalypse"

[jbiscuit]

yep looking like this one is coming right at us. No escaping it this time. Gas up them snowblowers! :rolf

[FoxStang]

Supposedly Chicago is in for snow lightning, cool.

[Holeshot]

We are closing early and all the fleet Napa vehicles are being pulled off the road at 5pm. No orders from our warehouses will be sent out. First time I'v ever seen this in all my years with NAPA

[Nix]

My comapny will never close. Even if the building was on fire we would have to report to work. :rolf

[Crawlin]

who's meeting me at Quaker Stake & Lube tomorrow with the 5 or 6" of snow and that's all we are gonna get?

Just fun to be devil's advocate since it seems weather people are usually right about 15% of the time

[DynoTom]

Same here Nix !


State Police saying "stay off roads" tonight , I guess the companys we work for do not take that into consideration...:mad::mad::mad:


I'm just going to say f**k 'em and call in today....I'm second shift so I would be driving home 14 miles @ 11 pm tonight if I did go in....

[Prince Valiant]

meh...the storms that seem hit or miss are always the ones where the temp is just around that point where it's either rain or snow or are we are close enough to the northern/southern edge of the storm as it moves through. This one the temp seems right, there is little chance of it missing us, so I'm more inclined to think it'll be worse than better.

Though, being a lake effect type snow, I am curious as to how far out the effect will be...with high winds, I guess it could carry far.

I'm excited to see the waves come in...18ft waves?!? That's got to be serious winds!

Though how paralyzing the snow will be, I don't know....I already see plows in the neighborhoods clearing the streets, so they're keeping caught up. If the there is a chance for them to get behind, it's tonight.

[jbiscuit]

who's meeting me at Quaker Stake & Lube tomorrow with the 5 or 6" of snow and that's all we are gonna get?


I could give you a call tomorrow Chris. I'll be at home working on the 409 all day :thumbsup

[FoxStang]

So the provost at our school just canceled all classes til Thursday citing life-threatening conditions.It just started snowing in addition to stronger wind, seems like there might be something to this after all...

[Ricky Bobby]

[Lash]

It's starting to pick up here. It's pretty windy. Give it another hour or two and things should start getting really good.

I believe our work will still be open had the quad out today, made it around the yard mp hmm I wonder if I can get it stuck tomm lol

Of course our work will be open, they're never going to close over a little snow:goof

[FoxStang]

Already an inch since my last post, and its only picking up.

[Ricky Bobby]

greenfield has nothing goin on at this moment in time

[RanJer]

Just windy in Stallis

[Nix]

I just looked at the radar and I'm going to retract my previous post from a day or two ago when I said it will be over hyped.

On the radar it looks like we are going to get fucking DEMOLISHED by this storm. :eek:

I figured that the weather fucks were going to over hype this shit as usual. Even a blind squirrel gets a nut every once in awhile.

[jbiscuit]

Governor Walker Declares a State of
Emergency for Winter Storm and Blizzard as Precautionary Measure





Governor Scott Walker has declared a State of Emergency for 29 counties
as a major winter storm continues to impact Wisconsin.



"The heavy snow, falling temperatures and anticipated blizzard will cause
dangerous drifting and blowing snow as well as limited visibility on roads and
highways. These factors will cause treacherous driving conditions," said
Governor Walker. "As a precautionary measure, I want to make sure all state
resources are ready and available if needed."



The counties named in the State of Emergency are Adams, Calumet, Columbia,
Crawford, Dane, Dodge, Fond du Lac, Grant, Green, Green Lake, Iowa, Jefferson,
Juneau, Kenosha, Kewaunee, Lafayette, Manitowoc, Marquette, Milwaukee, Ozaukee,
Racine, Richland, Rock, Sauk, Sheboygan, Walworth, Washington, Waukesha, and
Winnebago Counties. These are the counties that are currently under a winter
storm or blizzard warning.



The Governor's State of Emergency calls to active duty elements of the
Wisconsin National Guard as deemed necessary by Brigadier General Don Dunbar to
assist local authorities if needed. The declaration also directs all state
agencies to assist in any response or recovery efforts.



Wisconsin Emergency Management (WEM) has been monitoring this storm system.
The State of Wisconsin Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will elevate to Level 3
activation at noon today. Staff from WEM, Wisconsin National Guard, State
Patrol, Department of Transportation and the National Weather Service will be in
the EOC. The state is working closely with local officials to monitor the road
conditions and if warrant, actions could be taken to close roadways or portions
of the interstate if necessary.

[Flicktitty]

windy down here and been snowing like crazy in Delavan for last 2 hours +

[juicedimpss]

my boss sent me home already....what a guy.

[EvolvedRegal]

Ehh, looks like Ill have to make the trek into work tomorrow. They said the snow won't be bad, plus the boss lives less than a mile from the plant... If he can make it so can everyone else were his words.

[jbiscuit]

my boss sent me home already....what a guy.

:rolf

[Holeshot]

Winds kicking hard here. I'm glad I have my two giant pines in front of the house.

[Ricky Bobby]

[Holeshot]

Looking forward to see how well the Grand Am plows snow on the way to work tomorrow morning. :( Gotta be there.

[xxtremeteam]

[Prince Valiant]

Already have the cars strategically parked, don't have to go into work at the school, but an evening meeting is in doubt. Got movies, pizza, cards, nintendo wii band hero...should be a good time snowed in with the wife tonight, lol

[lordairgtar]

So the pussies at work got to the boss and convinced him to call tomorrow an off day. WTF! We already have cut hours and you are asking for more time off? I'm glad that you have all kinds of cash and you can just take random days off. I actually want to work, and I can actually get to work cuz I'm not driving a broke ass hooptie like you. But soon we will all be driving rusty 20 year old pieces of crap because we won't be making car payments. I know why you have all this extra money...it's because you don't buy into the insurance plan at work and have this extra $530 bucks a month and you show up at the emergency ward whenever you or your kids get sick. Rant over.

[Korndogg]

I'm not sure if I'm working or not. I'm supposed to call my dispatcher at 730 to find out if he has work for me tomorrow or not. If there's work, I'll go (as much as I don't want to).

[Lash]

Already have the cars strategically parked, don't have to go into work at the school, but an evening meeting is in doubt. Got movies, pizza, cards, nintendo wii band hero, lube, vibrating cock ring...should be a good time snowed in with the wife tonight, lol

Fixed :shades

[Plum Crazy]

Just got home, looked like all the shitty drivers were off the road already. Hit a few snow drifts taller than the Subaru, just motor'd right thru. SUBARU!!!!

[Rocket Power]

No chance they'll close my work:rolf
I have to work midnight to 8am.... awesome:rolf

[88Nightmare]

wind is blowing like crazy over here in oak creek. I have to go from Oak Creek to Shorewood and back tonight around 11 to pick my girlfriend up from work. Should be a real interesting drive. I don't want her trying to make that drive in her cavalier, she's liable to get blown right off the road.

[Prince Valiant]

Fixed :shades
THAT was implied :goof

[fly5150]

I hit a few drifts down here in Caledonia that were 4' tall, almost lost it on one of them. Guess the cooper snow tires aren't enough on the civic.
Had to clear most of the driveway just to get in, the wind is real bad out here.

[PB86MCSS]

...But soon we will all be driving rusty 20 year old pieces of crap...

Hey, I resemble that remark :goof.




No chance they'll close my work:rolf

Ha.

[BoosTT]

Real windy in Delafield. The snow is just starting to come down.

I don't think I'll go into work Wens. My drive is normally 45 minutes. With the snow, it could easily be 2 hours each way.

[pOrk]

I was planning on going in, till I saw how dead the bike park was today. Tomorrow is a snow day, sexy time tonight in front of a fire then riding my bike like a crazy person tomorrow. Ben and Tina, you in?

[Yooformula]

cant believe how fuggin windy it is and that shit HURTS! I needed 2 hands to shut my door when I was filling up at the gas station tonight. did pick up a generator on sale at menards just in case the power goes out AGAIN.

[GHOSST]

This should be perfect for you snowmobile owners, or sled people, lol. Be safe people.

[Rocket Power]

Ha.
Thanks alot.:rolf

[FoxStang]

37 mph sustained, 60 mph gusts. I live a block and a half from the lake and this is crazy as shit. I've already seen a couple of road signs fly by, lighting too.

[michelle]

Really not liking this wind. Hope we don't lose a 20+ year old pine tree like last winter!

[88Nightmare]

I frequently cannot see the cars in my parking lot from my window. Can't remember the last time I saw snow blowing like this. Like yoo said, with the little flakes that are blowing super hard, it stings pretty damn good. Even my pup, who LOVES the snow, refuses to go outside

[GTSLOW]

I live right off a farm field and the drifts are crazy before the tree line. Someones gotta start a snow storm picture thread tomorrow.

[hotshift13]

Snowing like crazy in BayView, Can't see across the street, and a little lightning!!

[CarrotTop]

Tomorrow on my way to work ill mount the gopro in the truck. Should be interesting. Seeing as i have to be in at 6:30am.

Already got some big drifts in front yard.

[Ricky Bobby]

im dumb

[Korndogg]

justin started his at 8:21..............

[PB86MCSS]

Thanks alot.:rolf

Hehe...well, not like "we'll" be off either. Fortunately it's a straight shot to work :D .

I just moved my LeSabre into the driveway, parked at about 6 on the street. We haven't shoveled since the morning so with our slope it was a fun ride up. Made it the first shot navigating through drifts well over 1'.

[Ricky Bobby]

justin started his at 8:21..............no 921 dumbass

[Korndogg]

My wife snow blew this morning, I just had to clear out the end of the driveway this afternoon. I think I'll need to use the 4wd to get in my driveway when I come home at 8am:rolf

[GTSLOW]

Eiither way I hit the new post button on my phone and set it down and forgot about then came back. So I still had hours old search results.......I swear :goof

[Prince Valiant]

just went for a brief spin around the hood...visibility at spots dropped down to less than 15 ft....

As far as actually being able to go down the road, it's not that bad except for spots where drifts are coming across the road...a couple cars got pulled in and stuck.

The wrangler had no trouble navigating through the largest snow banks we came across...up to almost the headlignts.

Wife says that she's never done anything as stupid as driving around in this kind of weather...then I pointed out, she did marry me :goof

Massive Thunder in Stallis !

[03CVLX]

Massive Thunder in Stallis !

Same here on Southwest side of Milwaukee. I can't see across the street.

[jbiscuit]

Insane drifting here by me. Drift up the side of my truck, road completely solid with snow even with the piles along the curb. Thunder!

[Yooformula]

hwy looked bad with some large drifts across 45 and some exit ramps arent even visible. at one point, I couldnt even see the hood of my truck because the wind/snow was so bad. Imo, if you dont have some sort of 4wd/awd, your ass doesnt belong on the road.

[DynoTom]

Yea, this drifting is getting insane!


For the most part my driveway is clear but, then I can see HUGE drifts of snow in the other parts....

[Lash]

I just watched a dump truck plow try and get unstuck in the middle of the street for about 20 minutes. This crap is NASTY! If you go in a ditch now you are fvckd. They may never even find you...lol. Not sure I would even venture out in my 4x4 Ram if I didn't absolutely have to. If you get stuck you'll probably be waiting in this cold for a LONG time.

[FoxStang]

They completely shut down LSD earlier because a bus spun out at blocked most of the lanes of traffic, plus parts of it by the lake were also getting hit because of the waves. Funny part is Sheridan road (which LSD turns off to) at the southern part of Evanston got closed too, which means if you have to get anywhere from northern Cook county to dt, your sol unless you side street it. These 60 mph gusts are insane, I saw a lady slip and she got carried by the wind a good few feet before she caught herself.

Sheriff Clark made a statement for people to stay home and that if you get stuck, consider yourself stuck. Police will help people with real emergencies and will be assisting doctors and emergency services not stranded drivers who shouldnt be on the road.:goof

[Car Guy]

THIS is why I think Sherriff Clark is outstanding, he leads with a common sense ‘this is how it is’ approach. I am beyond tired of everybody in the public eye taking a safe politically correct pussy foot approach to everything always worrying people might not 'like them'.....:rolleyes:

OK rant over, now back to our regularly scheduled thread.....:)

[penji04]

Just drove the wife to work at 1am, her car wouldnt move out of the driveway lol. It cant be that bad a mustang was on the road :eek:

[Al]

All of this wind is making huge snow drifts across the yard yet is also keeping the driveway clear of snow.

[michelle]

Wind is keeping me wide awake right now. Glad I have cable now, but I am surprised I haven't lost power in all of this. Last winter, the power went out quite a bit during storms. Always felt bad to see the WE Energies trucks out. I imagine they are busy somewhere though!

Yep, just checked the outage map and busy closer to the lake.

[Flicktitty]

this is completly unbelievable. i was with my brother since 8pm (who is on the police dept.) helping them out. i simply cannot believe the wind and the snow and the amount of dumbass people that say "oh i just wanted to see how bad it was"

you stupid fucks get off the road.

[Burgandy85SS]

you stupid fucks get off the road.[/QUOTE]

Tell that to my boss. Gotta be at work at 8 and just tried to open my house door theres a big ass drift in front of it.

[CarrotTop]

I just called in. Got 5 ft snow drift/pile at end driveway snow up to bottom doors on my ranger not going anywhere quick

[MoCkiN U]

they want my sears store open in kenosha. Dont know what for cause no customers will come and we cant get there to open it anytime soon anyway

[noeggs4u]

Still blowing like a bitch here in oak creek. Waiting to get some pictures of the drifts.

[Larrygto]

I just had to go out and clear 8 feet of snow from in front of my heat exhaust so I could get some heat in the house and I had to shovel to get out of the house.

[Prince Valiant]

To answer the title of the tread...legit storm, not hype.

[awsomeears]

lol I Just made a POST about that...... good for your for realizing that :thumbsup

[hrsp]

wow we actually got hit...on fox 6 they said milwaukee and stallis and shit got 14.1 inches of snow...they said the worst was in racine but i didnt catch a total...the drifting is what is making this so nasty...have no snow in one spot but a 5foot drift next to it...my front door is is cloaed on 3 sides the door...the garage and then a bay window...the snow drift int hat corner was over the door and up tp the ceiling....could not open the door...had to go thru garage...looked crazy when i opened the wood door and saw that the glass door was blocked...wow!! im gonna try and snap some pics...

[Ricky Bobby]

all i got to say is i feel sorry for the guys with shovels only

[HITMAN]

I looked out my front door and I couldn't see out of it due to the mini-Matterhorn in front of it. I estimate it's height to be between seven and eight feet. I've got a drift in my back yard that looks like it might come up to the bottom of my balcony. Three solid feet of snow down the length of my drive. I ain't going ANYWHERE until my plow guy comes. My little Honda snowblower would probably blow-up before I could get all of that moved...

[Neal Steffek]

we got some snow, but everything was cleared by 9am this mourning. So yes, there was a lot of hype, but that got the citys to get the streets cleared asap. 10AM now and everything should be back to normal.

[Car Guy]

Maybe where you live but definitely not the case elsewhere.....

[PB86MCSS]

Well I stand corrected, I was informed at 6:30 to not come into work today :banana although I had already cleared the driveway by the time I heard/saw the messages well after 7.

[Neal Steffek]

Hartford 12"
WTMJ4 station 12"
Muskego 10.5"
Racine 23.5"
West Allis 18"
Kenosha 17.5"
Eagle 17"

In West Allis here they got that 18 inches cleared quick.

[CarrotTop]

3 and 1/2 hrs later we got a driveway cleared that was with 2 snow blowers going.

Also seen few Snowmobiles going down the street also.

[FoxStang]

So yes, there was a lot of hype, but that got the citys to get the streets cleared asap. 10AM now and everything should be back to normal. Except for the part where if you live near the lake its probably still snowing. I got up around 7 to check radar because it had stopped snowing and figured it was done, just woke up again and there's about 5" since I looked at 7. In a nutshell, not over.

I thought about you when I got told to send the closing into the news channels:rolf

[jbiscuit]

crazy storm overall. I'm beat from all the clean up. Looks like the Taco may have incurred some carnage also. Leaking grease from the front driveshaft. Must not have liked that 4Low 4x4 action this morning :rolf
