2 p.m. Update…….Worst of the Conditions Tonight with Snow, Low Visibility & Strong Winds
March 5th, 2013 at 1:47 pm by Chad Evans under Chad's WLFI Weather Blog
Some wind gusts to 43 mph are possible in the viewing area tonight. This will conincide with the snow, making for rough conditions. The worst of the wind will tend to be in that 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. time frame.
As of 2:01 p.m., I have rain & sleet at WLFI with 34.0 degrees & an east wind up to 11 mph at times.
Currently, all snow is being reported for the entire northern half & western third of the viewing area.
Up to 1.2″ of snow has been reported in Fulton County & 1.1″ in Newton County. 3″ has been reported around Chicago with 5″ at Rockford & 5″ near DeKalb, Illinois.
Still raining here…..
Currently rain/sleet mix here. Temp is 35.8 degrees; nothing sticking, of course.
Duane C?
Are you the Duane C that is a teacher at Lafayette School Corp? If so, its good to know you surf on the blog all day when you should be teaching.
We’re wet snow but its sticking.. Grass is trying to turn white
Starting to change over to snow in West Lafayette.
Rain has turned to snow in Kingman.
LOL…………noticed NWS brought total down from 6-8 inches in lafayette to 4-6 inches
James,
Are you aware teachers have prep time throughout the day? Also, I don’t know who Duane C is, but it’s possible he is in charge of an after-school activity and needed to check on the current weather conditions. He has since deleted whatever comment was here, so I’m not sure what he was adding. When did you become the teacher police? Teachers are evaluated by the state on their ISTEP scores and I’m pretty sure he’s not just over there kicking up his feet during the first week of ISTEP testing. I may be wrong, but I’d prefer to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Starting to snow heavier here in Remington and temp has dropped to 32*. Snow starting to stick now. Ground is almost covered.
Whoa, there are two James on here. I am not the one talking about Duane. Snowing in Hillsboro now. Temp ~ 35.
Kentland 1.5 inches Chad temp 32
I’ve noticed that Ken. Checking several media sites I see the totals are starting to edge down ever so slightly.
James if duane c is a teacher it isn’t a bad thing for him to check the blog and keep updated its shows great concern for the weather.. a few of my ddaughters teachers talk to them about the forecast and outcome as part of the course also knowing what’s going on can help ease their concerns… BTW teachers get breaks during class change lunches and when children are doing homework..
I agree crissy.
Um not sure where I’m going to put all of this snow
Wet snow/sleet mix south of Mulberry.
Wet snow in West Lebanon, grass turning white. Should be fun coming home from work at 2am tomorrow.
Now a good inch in Remington, snow is heavier.
Just SW of Lafaytte hoping it the last snow for the season. A reminder to take your time getting home and be on the look out for emergency crews. 911 calls with be twice as bad the worst the weather is.
