Fyi 57 was mostly clear. North of Kankakee was a bit slushy in spots but the plows

Did great work and I drove very slow (30-55 depending on the road conditions). Took me 2 hours and 40 minutes to get to the North edge of Champaign.

No real worries.

Had an amazing time at the game.

I’m sure the neighbors were wondering what I was doing out in the snow with no pants on

The way you are, it's not your fault, you knew that
The way we were, so young and caught up in it

Sounds like a fun and sexy time for you, but how much snow was there?*

Maybe a little rain over snowpacked surfaces is OK but for surfaces that have been cleared? We bailed on this game yesterday - mainly because of driving south on 57 on Sunday.

US GFS Model...
Light snow will start to spread after midnight, likely after 2am, remaining intermittent though 9am, growing in intensity slowly until 1pm for Champaign (Chicago will remain light until 3-4pm), then really get going around 5pm. By 8pm, snow in Champaign may mix with rain as it gets warmer but Chicago will remain solidly snow. By 11pm, snow/rain mix in Champaign will turn to all rain...Chicago will have started with a mix by 9pm and by 4am Sunday the snow/rain mix will end.
When all is said and done...
Champaign 3-4"
Chicago 4-6", favoring the west.

Euro ECMWF Model...
Snow will begin and in earnest by 6am for Chicago but not until in Champaign until noon, and even then through 6pm will be to the west. Chicago will remain firmly in snow all day with 4-6" by 6pm. Yeah. Champaign may have a trace by then. By 9pm, any snow in Champaign would have changed to rain. Still snowing in Chicago until 3am. Champaign maybe an inch when it's over - and it won't sit for long, while Chicago according to the Euro model says 6-12" with the heaviest to the south western 1/3 of Chicagoland.

So, yeah, a bit of a difference but the trend looks to keep things to the north of Champaign. 24 hours ago, the Euro model suggested 6-8" then 12 hours ago 2-4" and now an inch at best.

Bust out the ski clothes, bust out the flask and sit down low in the empty seats. Hotels are cheap too; we got the Royer (nice place, we stayed there for the Maryland game) for a very low price; other hotels are cheap too. Then a victory party at the Rose Bowl or Bunny's.

So although it was coming down pretty good, it started late enough that it wasn’t a total white-out.

I remember the Johnny Johnson game against Minnesota in 1993 but I don't think this was even half the 6 inches now in the forecast.

It's Tuesday and they always overshoot, but still.

Edit: And I just saw an alert on my computer that says 7 to 11" of snow for Effingham. Big no to that drive if true.

Yep. Which is why the late-season night games should be closer to larger cities.

Columbus/Ann Arbor will never happen, but Minneapolis, Bloomington, Madison: all those should be higher on the list than C-U in late November. For that matter, our season-ender when it's played in Evanston. The Maryland campus too, for you traditionalists.

And now I'll go shake my fist and shout at ANOTHER cloud. :-/

Yeah, the home games after Thanksgiving has always been a dreary affair.

I don't want to give up home games but maybe we should play Northwestern every year at Soldier Field or Wrigley.

I still have never been to a football game at Wrigley but it looks like a lot of fun.

No. These games will always be poorly attended because it's usually cold and it's during break

but that's true for everyone playing this weekend. The problem is the 6:30PM start, if anything - the combination of weather, break, a dismal showing against Wisky, plus game time is going to mean a really meager "crowd".

It's too bad for this senior class to be going out like that on Senior Day, but that performance on Saturday earned it.

Totally JMHO: us trying to say a Wrigley game is a "home" game would never be acceptable.

Oh, you're just copying Northwestern...

NU will probably quit this type of thing once their new stadium gets finished: after than, converting Wrigley for a single game per year??? Expensive gimmick.

But what do I know...

(PS: talk to me again after the Bears get their Arlington Heights place finished.)

Well, if they ever build the new Bears stadium, that might be a place to have it*

I’m likely out if it’s in the 30’s & raining. Sounds miserable.

I’m on the fence. If it wasn’t Altmyer’s last home game, I don’t think I’d be going

It’ll also depend on if that factor is enough for the kids to want to go, too.
