Rob Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 We are supposed to get somewhere between 10" and 30" depending on which forcast you listen to.We got about 5-6 inches 20 miles west of Peoria, IL. Peoria got 8 inches. Havana Illinois got 12 inches and it's 30 miles south of us. It's damn windy and a lot of impassable drifts around.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

ThaddeusW Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Here in New York City we got abouut 3-4 inches of freezing rain, it wasnt snow but granular ice. Right now its a sheet of ice but earlyer today it was easy to move with a snow blower (best investment ever). Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

MACKTRUCKS4 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I LIVE BY THE 80-81 JUNCTION, WE GOT 4 INCHES OF SNOW, THEN TURNED TO FREEZING RAIN FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS, THEN 1 HOUR OF RAIN WITH AIR TEMPS IN THE LOWER 20'S, THEN TO TOP IT OFF 12 INCHES OF SNOW ON TOP. THE RAIN TURNED THE FIRST 4 INCHES OF SNOW INTO A 3 INCH ICE PACK. WHAT A MESS!!!! INTERSTATES WHERE CLOSED FOR 40 HOURS WHILE PLOW TRAINS OF 8 PENNDOTS TRUCKS TRIED TO CLEAR THE ROADS. ALL SIDE ROADS BECAME TRUCK PARKING LOTS. IT'S NOW SATURDAY NIGHT AND THINGS ARE SLOWLY GETTING BACK TO NORMAL, WHATEVER NORMAL IS. NOT MANY ACCIDENTS, JUST PEOPLE STUCK.
