Here in Rochelle, 3’ drifts in the backyard with 4’ in the driveway. I-39 closed between Rockford > Bloomington, I-80 closed west of Morris, I-88 closed west of Rock Falls. Will & Kane counties have travel bans. Rockford has called a city emergency stating all residents should stay off roads. Lake Shore Drive Northbound in Chicago was a parking lot overnight with hundreds of stranded motorists and vehicles. The motorists have been rescued, but now the cars are being removed. Rockford is saying that at this time (8:00 a.m.) it’s the 5th largest storm in inches, but with continued snow, it could easily move up the scale.
Glad you’re OK - thanks for the update...
It’s 33 outside right now.
We got some inches of snow, which I haven’t been outside to measure yet, and a glaze of icing. Everything is shut down now.
We’re in a break of weather for now. Matter of fact, the sun is peaking through the clouds.
But what’s coming looks like liquid on the radar, and with everything so cold, if it is, it’ll freeze on contact. We’re going to have another break after that and then get whomped with another batch of the storm in the form of snow.
