The 3k NAM was showing icing in N IN but the latest run moved it north of the state line. Interested to see when/if GFS follows suit.

I’m considering picking up the towel I threw in earlier today...

Done. Good luck everyone.

C'mon, guys. Another 50 mile shift NW on the Euro and I'll be in the 60's on Saturday. We can do it.

3.3 inches of rain in 24 hours in January would have to be some kind of a record in South Bend, right? At least there's no snow pack so that should mitigate flooding concerns.

I’ll take my 2 inches of rain followed by 6 inches of snow. Better than the other way around (Still prepared for 3 inches of rain and that’s it. That’s the storm).

I'll take "interesting" at this point with the winter we've seen so far. I love interesting!

Big shift north with the wintry precip on the 12z GFS compared to the 00z. About 125 miles. If the trend continues I’ll be storm chasing this weekend

I’ll play along since this is the best thing we’ve had to track in a while. Temps would be in the upper 20’s in much of that icy area. If the wintry side of this system doesn’t work out I’ll live vicariously through the Southeast forums and track the severe wx potential. SPC has Day 6 and 7 slight risks out already for the Deep South. Edit: Edited to include map zoomed in.

Ended with 1.5” before it melted. Looked very pretty.

Can any of you weather experts help me identify what this white stuff falling from the sky is?

When I moved back home to the South Bend area I thought I'd see a big dog within a couple of years. I haven't seen a foot of snow on the ground since March 2013 when I lived in Jacksonville, IL. I moved back to South Bend in March of 2018. Last winter, Central Illinois got a big dog while I was nickel and dimed up here (The snows were more frequent...but I want a big one!). The biggest snow I've gotten in South Bend so far is about 6 inches. While the snow is more frequent it's been incredibly frustrating for me personally. Even the lake-effect has been disappointing outside of one good event this past November. I know it'll all even out eventually, but I figured this was a good place to vent for now. Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.

Well that was a pretty exciting 12 hours, you guys.

Freezing drizzle did a number on the overpasses and bridges around here this evening. Lots of crashes reported. Flurries mixing in.

Tack on another degree for the record books RECORD EVENT REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA 0421 PM EST THU DEC 26 2019 ...RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE SET AT SOUTH BEND... A RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 63 DEGREES WAS SET AT SOUTH BEND TODAY. THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 55 SET IN 1959.

I always say "if it ain't gonna snow in the winter it might as well be 60." SBN at 62 right now. I opened the back door to my apartment. Feels great!

Maybe our first ever “Snow Squall Warnings” could be issued in our neck of the woods?

Lock it in!

Record cold high set in South Bend...among many other locations I assume. RECORD EVENT REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA 440 PM EST TUE NOV 12 2019 ...RECORD COLD HIGH TEMPERATURE SET AT SOUTH BEND... A RECORD COLD HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 24 WAS SET AT SOUTH BEND TODAY. THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 27 SET IN 1920.

Dunlap (between Goshen and Elkhart) had a report of 18 inches. I think that's the jackpot for Indiana for the event. I don't know of a time a lake effect event crushed Elkhart County like this. I ended with 6.4".

Sitting between bands now. The secondary band in Western St. Joseph County is very intense. I wonder if that will become the dominant band and move East. Dynamics must be incredible for lake effect snows right now. Sitting at 6.3” overall. Hoping the next band swings through overnight for another couple inches.

The band really getting its act together now. Probably some 2-3 inch per hour rates in there. My backyard went from 3 inches with the system to a total of 5.7” now. Still snowing but band is drifting East.

Some impressive totals for a Veterans Day storm. 287 NOUS43 KIWX 120129 PNSIWX INZ003>009-012>018-020-022>027-032>034-MIZ077>081-OHZ001-002-004-005-015- 016-024-025-121329- Public Information Statement National Weather Service Northern Indiana 829 PM EST Mon Nov 11 2019 ...SNOWFALL REPORTS THROUGH 8PM EST 11 NOVEMBER...

Moderate snow at the moment. Hoping the band stops its eastward progression and becomes stationary.
