  1. Bad wreck on I-94 south of Michigan City. One of several crashes. Lake effect occurring. Special Weather Statement issued but seems like this would be a good candidate for a Snow Squall Warning considering there are no advisories in effect?
  2. First and last call: 35 and rain.
  3. Only about 1.3" here. Down to just flurries for now. Hoping the radar fills in again downstream.
  4. The SPC page isn't opening but saw there is a winter meso for IWX into DTX.
  5. We have flakes in beautiful Northern Indiana.
  6. I agree. These maps are pretty to look at but I’m prepared for a 4-6 inch event for most of us. If we get more I’ll be thrilled.
  7. Still hoping I can squeeze out a slushy inch here tomorrow. Woof. Bring on February.
  8. It'll be me. I've come to terms with it. Enjoying my cold rain today.
  9. First and final call: 36 hours of a light rain/snow mix in South Bend...if we're lucky. Exciting.
  10. Not really sure where to put this so it'll go here. A rather impressive industrial-enhanced snow band has developed south of Fort Wayne! NWS Northern Indiana @NWSIWX 2h A plume of industrial-enhanced snow has developed on the western side of Fort Wayne, IN. Watch for localized higher snowfall rates and lowered visibility in that area. The associated graphic shows how this process works.
  11. Light to occasionally moderate snow under this lake effect band. Enough to freshen up the ground after we lost some areas of snow due to rain and warmth yesterday.
  12. This is one of the few cold, snowy, lake-effect days we’ve seen this winter. Light snow off and on with the sun filtered through high clouds. Not really sticking though. Watching a band of snow to the north. If it holds together as it drops south we could get a quick inch or two.
  13. Correlation coefficient was right. Flipped to freezing rain/sleet mix. About to hit another lull in the action. Should keep ice accretion in check for now.
  14. The photo is from about a half hour ago. Really came down under that band from the south. Still snowing at a good clip. Windy too. Correlation coefficient indicates some pingers already trying to mix in just to my south. Up to 2.8 inches. Backyard thermometer shows 27 degrees and that usually runs a degree higher than what’s reported at the airport. Fun storm to track!
  15. About 2 1/4" of snow so far. Getting into a lull and hopefully the banding to the south holds together so we can add another inch or so before the change over ice.
  16. About 1.5" here. Not official, but I'll share amongst friends.
  17. Always fun to look at Google traffic maps in Chicago during winter weather.
  18. Usually I like donut holes but this one does not look tasty.
  19. Lock it in. Now the big question: Will I wake up in time to enjoy it before the rain and warmer temps start to melt the snow? My guess is...probably not.
  20. Even though warning criteria may not be met the combination of advisory-level snow and advisory-level ice may warrant a Winter Storm Watch in many locations with decisions on how to upgrade made later.
  21. Looks like a mess if any of that ice materializes. I'm keeping my eye on the lake-effect potential IMBY as this system pulls away. Lake-effect: The last hope I have for a decent winter.
  22. We may finally see some more lake effect here in Indiana. Haven't seen much since the big event on Veterans Day. The models don't seem overly impressed From the last two IWX forecast discussions:
