We just dropped 20 within the last hour. Its going to be wild watching all of this standing water turn into granite over the next 4 or 5 hours. Gotta make sure the car isn't in a mud puddle! lol

Going to get interesting around here. Temps forecast to drop as much a 50 degrees in the next 12 hours and there's water everywhere, lots of it. Currently at 60.

Looks like we're back to the I70 climo for the next couple weeks anyway. I can see for piles and piles, I can see for piles and piles, I can see for piles and piles, and piles, and piles and piles.... lol

I understand the disappointment about loss of snow pack, but I'm schooled at this lol. This is the 3rd time this year it's gone around here. The models ain't lookin good for us either. Still have 4-6 weeks of potential so I'll glass half full it for a bit, then I'm done. This freakin mudfest sucks.

Take a ride with Hoosier to LAF. It's a guarantee when he's in town lol.

Yeah I mentioned in the other thread it was amazing how shiny the snow was w/ this clipper. This morning you could even see glimpses of color from the light refracting through the crystals.

Ended up w/5 here. The bulk of it fell in about 2 hours. Was out driving and playing in it. I have to say that was some of the heaviest snow I've ever seen. Visibility was down to my windshield. Like Hawkeye, this was my favorite event so far this year. The coolest thing was how sparkly the snow was. The ground and roads were covered in super shiny crystals. Really fun little event.

20Z HRRR looking like a classic SR28 LAF/Tipton/MIE special in central IN. Clippers like this can surprise us around here. Temps are outrunning dews though. This quite possibly could be my last chance at snow for a few weeks unless the 12Z FV3 candy land verifies.

If we keep getting these huge temp swings mid Feb into March and keep the current storm track pattern the atmosphere is going to snap in this sub at some point. It just has to (Insert my weenie wish lol). I'm ready for snow>tornadoes in 72 hours

I've always wondered why we stay warmer than points west even as close as LAF. I get it if we get the wind across the lake but if we get it from the W or WNW we still tend to be warmer than points directly west of us. Is there some invisible Mt's to are west and we're getting some down sloping lol?

Hehe.... he said grateful.....

Don't get many minus 20/30 wind chills in GA? This is the other side of winter around here. IMO 1/14 was worse. Not quite as cold but it set in for a couple weeks without a warm up. That was my first real taste of the brutal cold after moving up from SC and it hurt! OTOH you should be used to this clipper coming, a quick 3-6 inches followed by 50-60 and possible thunderstorms lol.

Hey if it measures it measures lol! Wherever this thing sets up its main band of snow it's going to freakin snow. Think will definitely see 1in/hr. for a time if not more if the meso models ain't lying (does anybody else have trouble with spelling that word? lol). Most of them drop the bulk in 3 hours. I'm still going 5-6 with my guess on 25-30 -1 ratios. Looks like a decent "dry line" setting up just south of US 30/North of US 28 on the 12Z HRRR. Won't take but a tick more moisture slamming into that to add an inch or 2 considering the temps. Either/or I'm going to be playing in it this evening as we may go back to the usual screaming 850's or suppression scenario that's been commonplace the last 4 or 5 years. Still a decent winter so far, consistent snowpack would make it a lot better.

First time I've seen this this late in the winter. Just saw 2 huge flocks of about 200 cranes each flying south at about 3k feet. A new species Procrastenarious Craneous lol?

I'm big doggin' for 5-6 here even though it'll be gone in 48 hours lol.

-15 here around 9am w/ 35 gusts windchill of -42. We're "warming" up to -10/-30 now Brutal

Y'all come down south to north central Indiana. Gonna have sunshine and a balmy -18 lol. Seriously everyone be careful. I almost had to have 3 toes amputated after the 1/14 event. I still have to be extra careful with them when it gets cold. Fresh from the south I took it a little too far That's a hint Snowless

End one work week at 20-30 below start the next work week at 50 to 60 above. You'd think there'd be some kind of storm mixed in there somewhere lol. freakin' nuts

We were supposed to be up to 14 or so around here today, then rising from there after 8pm. we're at 5 and falling!

I'm drivin' a 73 Vega down here, 100% plastic vinyl, ask him lmao.

Must be nice to discuss options on your Ferrari instead of just being happy you have one lmao

Crazy snow here for a couple hours. 3 maybe even 4in not sure which thread to post in lol. Was some fun stuff to play in for a couple hours though.

Overperformer here. Just measured 2.50 on the board. Radar keeps filling in to the west. I know it won't last much longer but this little clip has been fun so far.

Still have some decent banding right down the 28 corridor. Looks like we're almost at 2in, haven't checked the board, but its still coming down at a nice movie clip. Honestly i'd take these nickle and dime clippers the rest of the winter. Around here it usually eliminates any WAA concerns we usually have with stronger systems. I think it was 2012-13 we piled up over a foot in 7-10 days with no melting riding the clipper train. I hope the WI folks can cash in on whats coming without me getting to much rain lol.
