Weather update from Southern Wisc

I'm about 12 miles north of Lake Geneva

We just started getting the freezing rain about an hour ago

I’m in Door County (Baileys Harbor) and received 14 inches last night on top of wind and rain. Power outages every so often. The weatherman is predicting 13-21 inches by tomorrow night with 40 mph winds. Travel looks dangerous.

Good thing my fellow cheeseheads will be dealing mostly with rain. Have fun.

Green Bay is also getting hammered, my brother texted me a front yard pic earlier (what front yard? All I saw was snow ) and let me know about the blizzard warning in effect up there.

Right now the southwest 'burbs of Chi are getting gusty wind and rain. The rain sounds a little chunky.

Hopefully this clears up enough for all who want to come to travel!

My daughter in southern MN is in blizzard conditions... Is this April Or January?

Have A great GTG everyone!

Sorry I cannot make it!

Slight revision: The control module for my Roland e-drum kit is dead so I'll be bringing my Alesis tabletop e-drums unit instead. I'm still bringing my micro PA setup and compact mixer.

The drums and PA will be available for anyone to use and jam with.

I know this is last minute but I'll be driving by myself from the far, far west burbs and will have room for 1 or 2 extra passengers if you want a ride.

I'll be hopping on I-88 from Sugar Grove about 11 am.

PM me through TB or contact me at [email protected]

UPDATE
I realized that I forgot to remind folks that while this is a respected community center with its own parking lot, this is still the inner city. Don't leave valuables visible in your car.

We plan to be on the road by 9

Change in plans
Glare ice in my driveway can’t clear it to unsafe to travel
Sorry guys maybe next year

Really sad to be missing this. Hope you all have a great time, and I can't wait to see some pictures.

Last-minute addition from Madison (still maybe) , sorry didn't sign up yet. Was going with MKE contingent.
Hadn't planned on taking gear but think this is part swap meet and I might find a 5 either fretless now or worth de-fretting , and or maybe DB and or just meeting folks.

 

[Skaswan]

Checking the roads now to see if it is safe to drive down.

 

[Scoops]

I'll be testing the roads this morning on my way to church.

There's a layer of slush over a layer of ice.

 

[Skaswan]

Sorry guys, snow mixed with rain here in Milwaukee. Not sure how the roads will be later so I will stay. Have a good time. Now I have to figure out what to do with the snacks so i don’t eat them all.
