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 |
