This was my favorite winter storm of all time. I was 13, living in Elkhart, IN and vividly remember watching the snow pile up throughout the day. It was incredible. A sea of white. There was so much snow the plastic roof over the backyard patio caved in. Then I got one of the worst stomach bugs I've ever had and watched the Packers lose to the Niners in the playoffs.

My snow measure is up to about 2.5 inches of leaves.

It’s actually been horribly boring around here since the end of July. The last non-temperature related Watch or Warning we’ve had here was the severe weather event on July 29.

Rain and snow mix. Nothing sticking. Icky weather.

Eff it. It's too beautiful.

I don't want to get banned for posting a weenie map but lock in the 12z Euro. IYKYK

Eyeballed another couple of inches from lake snows overnight. Enough to completely cover the grass.

I ended up with about an inch from the system yesterday. We've had lake flurries off and on today. Looks like we could squeeze out another in or two locally tonight.

Up to a DAB here. Temp at 33 and it’s been struggling to stick all day.

Globals picking up on a dusting to an inch moving through the area Sunday. Lake effect possible in the usual belts next week.

The tree right outside my apartment still has tons of leaves on it. The strong north winds started to finally knock a lot off this morning. Looked like it was pouring leaves.

Annnnd it’s gone.

Some real lake-effect potential behind the system next week.

Great track if it's 20 degrees colder.

Quality thunderboomers. A nice surprise.

So close to 70’s tomorrow…yet so far.

Good first snow. Eyeball about an inch at work in Mishawaka. Edit: My snow eyeballs are a bit off. Up to 1.7".

Nothing on the ground in Mishawaka. Caller in Eau Claire, MI reports 3" on the ground so far. He's annoyed because we only called for an inch. Tough crowd.

2 to 4 in The Region. HRRR hinting at similar totals in my neck of the woods, too. INZ001-002-010345- /O.NEW.KLOT.WW.Y.0009.231101T0100Z-231101T1000Z/ Lake IN-Porter- Including the cities of Gary, Hammond, Merrillville, Portage, Valparaiso, and Chesterton 245 PM CDT Tue Oct 31 2023 ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 8 PM THIS EVENING TO 5 AM CDT WEDNESDAY... * WHAT...Lake effect snow showers expected. Total snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches, with locally higher amounts possible. Winds gusting as high as 45 mph. * WHERE...Lake IN and Porter Counties.

Good to be back, friends.

Radar looks very impressive from Muskegon to Holland. That area now has a WWA for up to 5 more inches of snow. I drove through a pretty good squall between Elkhart and South Bend earlier today. Otherwise, there's been peaks of sun between the snow bursts. No accumulation.

GFS has dew points in the 30’s and 40’s over the holiday weekend which allows temps to warm to triple digits.

Overcast skies this morning from the convection to the east. Almost certainly will have an impact on how hot we get today.

I was inside all day for work so this is the first time feeling the high dew points all day. 86/79/100 at 10:00 is icky.
