Midwest Snow Storm Take Two

DeToxRox · 04-04-2009, 08:37 PM

6-10 inches in the forecast for Michigan by Tuesday, though I have doubts we'll get near that much.

Anyone affected by this yet?

Honolulu_Blue · 04-04-2009, 08:38 PM

We'd better not. I am in no mood for that kind of nonsense.

Ho Ho Ho... Happy Easter?

My brother-in-law is currently looking for tickets for the National Championship game, and will have to be back to Chicago Tuesday at noon central. He's going to have some fun..

revrew · 04-05-2009, 05:09 PM

Yep, all Sunday activities cancelled due to freezing rain and snow, just north of Des Moines.

MizzouRah · 04-05-2009, 05:18 PM

I hope it snows enough to cancel our soccer game tomorrow night.. it's going to be one cold freaking night if not!!!

lungs · 04-05-2009, 05:33 PM

Wow. Called for 3-7 inches here and whatever came is now gone.

Chief Rum · 04-05-2009, 05:35 PM

Beautiful day here in the CA.

(Seriously, though, hope you guys are all right out there)

sterlingice · 04-05-2009, 07:26 PM

Yeah, I'm not missing that weather at all.

SI

DeToxRox · 04-05-2009, 08:49 PM

Sounds like the storm has weakened but we're still looking at 6 inches.

terpkristin · 04-05-2009, 08:52 PM

Is this the same storm that has postponed the opener for the Royals - ChiSox?

I thought I'd take the train today, but there wasn't much snow at all, and it was all overnight, and even with that, I didn't have to brush any off the car. It'll probably still dump all over Michigan, though (or it probably is right now).

Bobble · 04-06-2009, 09:24 AM

I don't think the heavy stuff is going to come down for quite some time yet...

All this moisture coming up out of the Gulf will push off to the east and hit Altoona.

Do you ever have Deja Vu?

We were supposed to receive the brunt of this one, but it ended up only being about 5 inches. I'm not hearing of any significant problems, though we had a brief power outage around 6:30 due to the high winds.

I'm debating whether to shovel. It'll all be gone in a couple of days anyway, but I know I'll get stuck coming home tonight if I don't.
