More than a dusting...

Another quick update to the blog as snow has fallen, at times at a pretty good clip, for a couple of hours this morning beginning around 7:15am. The flakes were huge and were coming down fast enough to start sticking to roads, sidewalks, and the thich grass. On my drive to work, there were many areas that, even though traffic was consistently rolling over it, the snow was coming down fast enough to accumulate under the tires. If I were home I'd provide a better estimate on the amount but word-of-mouth, radar signatures, and local reports tell me there is at least a 1/4" and maybe up to 1/2". The NWS has issued a Winter Weather Advisory calling for the possibility of up to an inch in heavy bursts of snow in some locations. Below is a video I took this morning of the snow falling in Bartlett around 7:30am. This is before it got heavy!
