10am Friday Observation: Now that I've walked outside a bit, it looks like all is less than an inch and mostly snow now (still falling) on a crunchy surface for some traction. -- Ted 10am 1/29/2010 -- (Up to about 3 inches of dry fluffy snow 2:45pm Friday .... and still coming down) --- at least 5 inches snow by 5:15pm & still falling -- slowed now ~6in by 7pm
11pm Thursday Observation: Although more freezing precipitation is expected overnight and Friday it would appear Collinsville has avoided (so far) the amount of ice to crack the trees and power lines but enough to make the roads a mess and travel hazardous. From my limited view (out the front and back of the Newspaper Museum downtown), I'd guess we have about an inch of ice/snow mix on the ground. I'll take some daylight photos tomorrow and would be glad to have a few viewer photos and weather descriptions from your location.-- Ted Wright -- 1/28/2010
