  1. I'm grateful for living downwind of Lake Michigan but even my Christmas Day lake effect snow pack is gone already. All 8+ inches of it save some of the big piles of snow. I guess I'll take a tenth of an inch of ice on each wave this week before changing to plain rain. Maybe an inch of front end snow on wave 1 Tuesday night.
  2. Just got back in from what will probably be the last heavy snow burst. Will measure again later but I’d guess we got about 8-9 inches. A beautiful sight!
  3. Pumped. Sitting right on the eastern edge of a snow band. 6.75“ so far. Merry Christmas all!
  4. HRRR sticking to a big dog for some lucky few. I’m about 8 miles east if the SBN airport so fingers crossed for me. I’ve got some flakes starting to fly.
  5. HRRR zoning in on a single, intense band of snow setting up for a few hours overnight downwind of Lake Michigan. Someone lucky is going to get buried Christmas morning!
  6. Hoping for a couple inches of lake effect here. There's a nice write up regarding lake effect in the IWX AFD Also, it astounds me continues to use Winter Wx Advisories for events that should be WSW's. Accumulations up to 9 inches on Christmas warrants a warning.
  7. I saw a couple flurries today. It was pretty exciting.
  8. Woodward, OK is going to out perform us all this season in snow totals.
  9. Super excited about the 1.5"* I'm going to get!** *of rain. **remark is sarcasm.
  10. Nothing IMBY but the lake effect band looks healthier than it has all day to my west. Three inches reported in LaPorte 2:00 EST.
  11. If that verifies, the band remains stationary and wind gusts are frequently over 35 mph a Blizzard Warning may eventually get posted for LaPorte and Berrien Counties. The current Winter Storm Watch wording includes wind gusts over 40 mph.
  12. Not to complain but the 00z NAM takes the lake effect too far east now lolz (10:1 snowfall map attached) Edit: Taken verbatim of course. This run gets me back in the game for lake effect which is nice. Not seriously complaining. Hope it pans out.
  13. If this were a bigger snow I’d consider chasing the snow band into LaPorte County but I’ll just enjoy the radar returns for this one. I’m too far east to be in the best stuff but hopefully the band will wobble overhead for a bit to get an inch or so.
  14. That’s a rough look for mby. 6+ to my east and 8+ one county to my west. I’m off next week and may do some snow chasing...
  15. Latest GFS clown map. Northern Ohio the bullseye again. At least the trend to continue east has stopped. Nice hit for most of the state (and SE MI).
  16. Euro/Canadian vs. GFS/UKMET? Good to see we're already in midseason form.
  17. Woof. I at least had some hopes for lake effect before this run. Congrats North Carolina, I guess.
  18. 52 mph gust at South Bend. Lost power at work for a short time. Pretty good way to end the severe season.
  19. First flakes of the season observed courtesy Lake Michigan. Only a day later than last year when the first snow was on Halloween.
  20. Count me as one of those people. Back in my day you set the time once and you were done! I liked being on Central Time in the summer and Eastern Time in the winter. Okay, I'm not really mad...but still slightly annoyed. I've since come to embrace my 9:30 sunsets in the summer.
  21. IWX put out a SWS ahead of the watches and warnings.
  22. Seems like there will be a lot of reports out of Valpo. Personally, some sub severe winds with the gust front. Tried to get a picture of the shelf cloud but it kind of snuck up on me behind the trees. Lots of rain. Not a ton of lightning. Waiting to hear about potential damage in nearby areas.
