6z Euro bumped north but the precip shield wasn’t as expansive on the northwest side, so Southern Wisconsin doesn’t get in on the action like the 00z run. Keep in mind this also includes dusters and lake effect.

Oh lawdy she comin…

Euro another nudge north early on… I miss these days of play by play as the models roll in.

Excitement building. It’s palpable

Actually NYC still does pretty well here so whatever lol

East coast forum would be in shambles. Rooting for this.

Went to visit the Southeast forum. First post I saw said “Stop. Final warning.” So they seem to be handling things well…

Sage advice

No bugs at least

Frigid, windy day with some blowing snow in my neighborhood. The lake effect pixies plus blowing snow are making for tough conditions when you get into the northern part of St Joseph County. There’s a pile up on the Toll Road right now. I can’t even imagine how bad it must be along the west coast of Michigan today.

Taking my 2.5” from overnight with a smile. (That’s what she said?)

Blizzard-like under this narrow snow squall.

Nothing to see here. Go about your business. The WWA for me is really for the northern third of the county. I’ll end up with two inches of wind swept snow over the course of 24 hours.

GFS operational was much wimpier with next weekend’s storm but there are several good hits on the ensembles

Cold day with temps in the teens. Lake effect compaction is real though. Down to about a 6” snow pack. I know you’re all feeling bad for me.

Seems like a fun way to get CO poisoning.

HRRR looks particularly snow squally for many of us this evening into tonight.

Two-day lake effect snow total in South Bend was officially 17.1". Total for the winter: 54.5" Another 3.9" will make this the snowiest winter in 9 years. My backyard event total: 14.5" Backyard winter total: 52.7"

Looks like 1-3" for just about all of us overnight into tomorrow.

Funny enough, this prayer was answered... I might have to start going to church again.

Dog days of winter

Official stats from South Bend: 12.6” fell on Wednesday setting a record for max snowfall for January 14. It is the 17th day in South Bend history with a foot or more of snowfall. Another 4” fell overnight bringing the storm total to 16.6”. These stats are taken from the north side of town, so my 11”+3” =14” here on the south side would fall in line. RECORD EVENT REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA 1237 AM EST THU JAN 15 2026 ...RECORD DAILY MAXIMUM SNOWFALL SET AT SOUTH BEND... A RECORD SNOWFALL OF 12.6 INCHES WAS SET AT SOUTH BEND YESTERDAY. THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 6.0 INCHES SET IN 1985.

We got 3” of fresh snow from round 2, but it’s already compacting. I guess snow total would be 14” from the event with a 12” snow depth. Obviously very happy. I’ll take some pics when I decide to go shovel the sidewalk I’ve ignored so far.

Woke up to a foot of snow on the ground. I went to bed with 11”. It seems like it snowed more than an inch overnight, but I’ll have to check the driveway later to see how much new snow the band put down after I went to bed. I think compaction might taking over already? That and drifting.

Shoveled the driveway during the lull before round 2 moves in. The band seems narrower. We’ll see what damage it does before it sweeps off tothe west.
