Cecil and I are supposedly going to dodge a winter storm early/mid next week. They are saying it is like the storm that hit here the end of Jan 2011, where Chicago got 20" of snow in one day. The snow line will be to the NW of Chicago (right now) and we will see only rain.
Cecil- The Iowa Caucas is on Monday, Feb 1st. The storm is projected to hit Tuesday evening/night into Wednesday. So a lot of BS piling up on Monday, followed by a lot of snow on Tuesday..

Now, now, Dr. Luke. At least we can choose our leaders unlike some other countries out there.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
If NOAA has it right, the snow part of the storm will track north of us and give us freezing rain, sleet and/or rain. Local forecast is "too soon to tell."
Election 2016: Snowstorm to unfold as thousands gather for Iowa Caucuses By Mark Leberfinger, AccuWeather.com Staff Writer
The 2016 Presidential Election season officially gets underway Monday evening, Feb. 1, with the Iowa Caucuses, and wintry weather may impact voter turnout. Voters from Iowa's 99 counties will meet in caucus as the first step to determine who will represent the state at the Republican and Democratic national conventions.
However, a winter storm moving in from the Intermountain West is likely to cause snow to spread over a large part of the central and northern Plains during Monday night and Tuesday.
The voting prospects weather-wise could become precarious before the close of the caucuses because of the incoming storm system, AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Matt Rinde stated. Snow and a wintry mix will arrive in part of the state during Monday night.
The caucuses are scheduled to be begin at 7:00 p.m. CST. "Enough snow and a wintry mix can occur to make roads slippery in the southern third of Iowa as people are heading home from the Caucuses," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said. "The worst of the storm will overspread the state on Tuesday, when conditions are likely to range from blizzard conditions in the northwest to a wind-driven wintry mix in the southeast with the risk of sporadic power outages."
Why Dr, are you suggesting that ALL of the fine folks runnin are full of fish excrement? If so, I agree. Hey should that be a new acronym? FE... has a nice ring to it. LL, you are correct. Billy, you are correct. It's too soon ta tell about this afternoon. Hope you are spared the freezing rain. Besides tornadoes and hurricanes that's the worst ta deal with.
Do nature a favor, spay/neuter your pets and any weird friends or relatives.
Cecil, I see 51 tomorrow and warm till mid week. Enjoy it and remember 2 things. You've had an extremely nice winter and you only have 4 weeks of what I call the hard part of winter. It's been nice for me cause I haven't had ta bother anyone about how much and how long is the snow on the pond or please go turn on the aerator for a day. Unfortunately for you I'll see ya in about 8 weeks, Bob-O

Our forecast is for freezing fog. I've never heard of this before. Apparently, it's fog when the temp is less than 32 that freezes on surfaces it comes in contact with. Learn something every day!

Yep, freezing fog is a new thing up here as well. Never heard of it before until this winter.
The other new thing this year is ice pellets. Supposedly, freezing rain.
