You still got the driveway, that's a big board lol. I think technically you're supposed to measure every hour sweeping the board clean after you measure then add the totals. Could be wrong. I was lazy today and did mine every 3 hours roughly.

Back to nickle sized flakes w/ moderate rates.

Within 1 year you went from "winter around here sucks compared to down south" to one of your top 3 snows ever. Told ya the weather around here will put you in the funny farm lol.

Upper level system seems to be dampening slowly but surely as it begins to lift out. Was forecasted by most of the models I think. Still potential for a couple more inches, maybe even more down south if the HRRR is to be believed. I'm a happy camper anyhoots

Pixie dust starting to fall again. Nice returns moving this way. I'm getting spoiled keep it coming. Got Weather Report Suite loaded ready to hit play for the nightly dog walk lol. (Is it obvious I've been this snow starved?)

Gonna start calling setups like these "Buckeye" specials.

Might have to eat my words when I said if the FV3 10-12 totals around here verified it would be my new God lol.

First time it's let up since 7am. Almost a 9 inch average around the yard. Friend between here and Fishers measured 10. Just got back from another ride, winds picking up and country roads are starting to have decent drift issues. KIND still calling for an additional 2-4 possibly before all is said and done. I'm giddy lol.

I still think there's a chance of double digits somewhere between I70 and SR28 in Central In.

I'm at 6.5-7 right now. It's been rip city for the last 90 minutes. Took another ride and country roads are getting trashed visibility is 1/4 to 1/2 mile. Wind was picking up some also. I've got a board in the yard and utility marker flags around the yard where they're replacing gas and water lines. I marked some of the flags at 6,7, and 8 inches all but one of them are at or close to the 7 inch mark with 6.5 recorded on my board. I know its not the most accurate measuring scheme but its in the ballpark. It hasn't stopped snowing since 7am so averaging a painstakingly 1/2 in/hr rate or so. Perfect snowball snow, packs well but not so dense it'll give you a concussion lol. Not sure what the rest of this event has in store but any accumulations beyond now will exceed my expectations. Great event for most of the sub from a spread the wealth point.

We still have the upper level system later this evening. It's a long shot but some places could see double digits if that dry slot keeps filling in.

Was wondering if that was snow or some sleet/freezing rain, hope its snow!!

Am a little surprised. Expected a few hours of lull from the models but it hasn't stopped and is actually snowing the heaviest of the event right now. Was out about 45 min and visibility never got better than a 1/2 mile. We're up to 5 now and still coming down at good clip.

Returns filling back in south of I70 in IN. If we can keep it snowing for another 12 hours definite over achiever here.

Up to 4 here. Still light to moderate snow, dry slot not here yet. Hoping we can add another 2 or 3 as the upper system swings east later.

Seeing about the same rates here. Starting to see some bigger dendrites mixing in with the pixie dust. Hope that dry slot doesn't make it this far N.

1.5 since 7am. Snowing nicely.

I don't care if I bust low down to 3 or 4. It's better than what we've had

As a note I did read one AFD yesterday that commented on the elevated DGZ and Omega not being lined up (above me somewhat) that could result in snow crystals being more of a super cooled column/plate combination that would hinder accumulations.

I think with the lack of any specific forcing and a marginal DGZ a "bird fart" per Stebo lol, could affect totals by +/- 20-25% locally. Overall synoptic averages should pan out. 00Z Hi Res models are already dropping totals to the east to be more in line with what the local AFD's were forecasting this morning.

Was looking at that myself. While not much northward movement with the actual snow definitely has been increasing totals northward. I'm going to go with 6 inches here. Hate to jinx myself lol. Only model that gives me less are the plumes. Daytime snowfall tomorrow along with less than desirable DGZ will keep it iffy.

It has commenced in the last hour in St. Louis https://www.earthcam.com/usa/missouri/stlouis/?cam=arch_riverview

Tongue in cheek

Don't quote me but think they're part of the SREF nest which just took me down to 1 inch.
