01/31/16 - 02/02/16 Heavy Snowfall Across Plains

I'm heading north about 500 miles in a few hrs. will be back with a update.

 

Been snowing just a little in central Nebraska off and on since this morning. Still 37 degrees so nothing is sticking. Weather man still calling for blizzard later tonight and tomorrow, shall see

 

Said it's gna rain in chicago over an inch, 33 degrees tonight, 37 tomorrow morning. Shouldn't be that bad. Guess u guys up north and west getting the good stuff

 

Wisconsin..



signs say storm warning 6am Tuesday thru 6an Wednesday

 

Westbound on the edge of Nebraska on I-80, seeing that many stretches of Wyoming are closed due to winter weather conditions.

 

Been stuck in Evanston WY since early am this morning. Utah was a mess, even with chains and 79,300 was slipping all over Parley this morning. Hope they clear it early tomorrow.

 

Weather map shows the big blue snow splotch moving east so maybe you're right. This will give the snow crews time to clean it up.

@joseph1135 's weather alert thread shows several spots along I-80 closed still. Maybe have it open by sunup

 

in Minnesota, stars are shining, heading south west after a 10. 15,500 in the box, wind isn't bad at moment. slight breeze

 

went to bed at 8:30 last night with 2" on the ground, woke up this morning to 14" on the ground and a 18" drift in the backyard

At present, everything east of Denver is closed or travel not advised: 70, 76, 36, 287, 24, 385. The roads that are open, even on the plains and in Denver, chains are advised or STRONGLY recommended.

 

yep, same here (12+ inches in Longmont, little north of Denver). From cotrip.org
