Ended with somewhere between 9 and 11 inches depending on where I measured. The parking lot in my complex hadn’t been plowed when I got home tonight. The car got into a spot but it’s going to be a battle to leave tomorrow.

...RECORD DAILY MAXIMUM SNOWFALL SET AT SOUTH BEND...
A RECORD SNOWFALL OF 8.2 INCHES WAS SET AT SOUTH BEND TODAY.
THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 8.0 INCHES SET IN 1908. THIS WILL BE
UPDATED AT THE END OF THE DAY WITH THE FINAL SNOWFALL TOTAL FOR THE
DAY.
This has potential to be the biggest storm I've covered while working in news. The anticipation is palpable. So much planning and preparation happening today...now we wait.
Also showing impressive banding just to my west with 20 inch totals in northern Porter and LaPorte. 20 inches may not be realistic...but a good indication someone will get buried under good banding.
Edit: Might be some lake enhancement there, too?
Not gonna lie...a little nervous being on the northern edge of a foot of snow. Anymore southeast shifts and I'm in "low-end warning criteria". Hoping to stop the bleeding with the 00z runs tonight.
Settling on the fact it’s most likely the heaviest snows with this entire event will be just to my south. Still can’t be upset with over a foot though.
Mine has definitely already been impacted. Getting to and from work could be interesting this week. Thankful it’s only a 5 minute drive but I can’t call off.
