AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
906 PM CST THU NOV 30 2006

.DISCUSSION...
LOTS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SLEET OCCURRING ACRS THE CENTRAL PART OF 
THE CWA WITH FREEZING RAIN IN THE DEC TO CMI AREAS AND A LITTLE 
SOUTH. SOME...NOT MUCH...WARM AIR HAS ADVECTED BACK INTO EASTERN 
PARTS OF THE CWA...BUT SO FAR NOT FAR ENOUGH TO CHANGE ANY PCPN BACK 
TO ALL RAIN. LARGE AREA OF PCPN HAS OVERSPREAD THE AREA...MAINLY 
NORTH OF I-70...WITH MOST IN THE FORM OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN. 
AREAS IN THE EXTREME NORTHWEST HAVE BEEN SEEING SNOW AND BELIEVE THE 
SLEET HAS BEEN LARGE ENOUGH...2 TENTHS OF A DIAMETER AT ILX...THAT 
ASOS/AWOS IS REPORTING IT AS SNOW AND NOT SLEET. 

QUICK LOOK AT THE MODELS INDICATES THAT THE CURRENT FCST IS ON TRACK 
WITH ICE PCPN CONTINUING TONIGHT AND THEN CHANGING TO ALL SNOW 
AROUND TO AFTER MIDNIGHT. 

THEREFORE CURRENT FCST APPEARS TO BE ON TRACK AND WILL NOT BE 
UPDATING.

Drifts are now waist deep in portions of downtown Peoria. Will post some pics in a bit.

Still snowing...snow has picked up over the last hour.

I would say greater than 13 inches.

I believe this is an all time one day record snowfall for Peoria? That might depend on what fell at the NWS OFfice. Unsure.

Pics coming up

Amazing sights! People walking down the middle of the streets. Very few cars on the road. There are cars that have been abandoned in the streets.
