Too bad the snow sculpting competition was canceled just a couple days ago...
I wish I could contribute to the snow fall totals, since I'm in Rockton Township, and it doesn't seem you guys have anyone else out here --but it drifts so badly on our property that in some places we have over a foot and in others there's bare ground.
I was just curious... no one really saw this big snowstorm coming. I mean, I believe that we were forecasting 1-3 inches, or 4 at the most for Monday if I remember correctly ( I could be wrong ).
What was the reason that things changed and became a bigger storm? Did we recieve more gulf moisture than thought? Were we closer to the path of the low than originally planned? :)
One thing though, I am thankful for my wonderful neighbor that volunteered to snowblow my driveway, when she saw me with my shovel. :)
I read some of the forecast discussions from the NWS, and they stated that the low deepened faster then what the latest model predicted, also i think the jet stream had something to do with the prolonged snow also.
I had 8 inches of snow here in loves park as of 6:40 am. I couldn't report it because I had to be in to work at 7. But that is my final total.
Just for the record, I was extremely disappointed in my state's (WI's) ability to get its Interstate highwys plowed this morning (and I'm a state employee too, so this isn't just a general rant about state employees).
It wasn't just that they were having trouble keeping up... It was that there hadn't been any plowing done at all at 6:00 this morning, and although I saw many tow trucks during a nearly-3-hour drive, there was nary a snow plow to be seen. Hey, WI: what's up with that?
It was that way down here. I went to work this morning and left my house around 645 and not one road was plowed and I saw no plows on the road. They did eventually later, but I think it was a very poor effort.
