Anyways, I am no forecaster. The WGN blog has some sweet photos... check them out <A HREF="http://blogs.trb.com/news/weather/weblog/wgnweather/2009/02/post_459.html" REL="nofollow">HERE</A> if you haven't already viewed them!<BR/><BR/>Lenore, I know I am looking forward the rest of the Winter season. I'd like at least one large scale snow storm to rampage through the area... I can only hope!Josh Hermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10809581468183556700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915442507015152354.post-14293440018145155012009-02-04T12:54:00.000-07:002009-02-04T12:54:00.000-07:00Good Day All - Yes, it's RAW to us in NW Fla.

It's supposed to be like this until about Friday and start warming with a high of 70 on Saturday-perfect day for a yardsale and short sleeves. I can't imagine what it must be like to have so much more cold weather to look forward to - ya'll hang it there!Lenorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166763659602960261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915442507015152354.post-13998919300035165162009-02-04T08:33:00.000-07:002009-02-04T08:33:00.000-07:00I was glad to see this morning that the Porter Cou...I was glad to see this morning that the Porter County, IN observers validated NWS Chicago's forecast lake-effect estimates of 6-12", with local totals of 18".<BR/><BR/>4 different observers reported between 14.3" and 17.0" of snow - and there's a big 23.5" dot near Valparaiso!<BR/><BR/>The HPC (<A HREF="http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/wwd/winter_wx.shtml" REL="nofollow">this link</A>) wasn't forecasting even the outside chance of 12+" of snow... but I think they focus on more macro-scale weather features.Robert Guicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06388103684697773466noreply@blogger.com
