Tonight, I arrived in Dekalb, IL amidst an on-going winter storm that had just dropped 3 inches on Dekalb with more very heavy 'banding' taking place. Route 38 was a mess as outside Creston, IL I was stopped for a good half hour as a tow truck worked to pull out 2 vehicles out of the ditch. That took place when the snow was really coming down around 6:30pm or so.
I had just arrived in Dekalb...I think this picture tells the story at that time huh?
Altgeld Hall winter scene
The Escape's first snowstorm
Myself posing for a quick photo and doing my best impersonation of Jim Cantore...well without the baldness of course
The East Lagoon a tad frozen with a 'frosty' look and the city lights providing the 'glow'
At last we have our first inch or snow and well more then that...looks like Dekalb will end up with around 4-6 inches of the white stuff before the storm system pulls on out...you got to love 'phasing' if your a meteorologist or weather enthusiast.
