They've been advertising the highest amounts just north and west of Indy for a couple days. Think thats where they expect the least issues with liquid and if/any trowal type banding to establish. I'm 40 miles NE of you and that map has a similar cutoff 20 miles to my SE. I'd take it with a grain of rock salt.

I'd go with the 10-1 pile of concrete. They're also looking better for an upper level backend kick in the pants over us where rates could keep the liquid at bay. Fingers crossed lol

Shit like this causes mental illness around here lol.

While not as nerve racking as usual...Yet.... for the Kitchen Sink zone in N Central IN, some of the 12Z model soundings are enough to keep the foot shaking. If rates can stay heavy early Wed. should be ok but the yellow brick road doesn't lead to these parts lol. Regardless this things gonna be a cement truck laying sidewalk as it comes through. KIND is saying 5-9" for here and KIWX is calling 7-12" 2 miles away. I'll call 6 and my back ain't shoveling any of it

I got nuthin' to complain about with these runs so far........ Yet

You and me both know unless this maps 12 hours out its gonna be a kitchen sink Lucy pulls the football event for us lol. It is pretty to look at though

That 200 mile long lake enhanced streamer off of lake Michigan is flabbergasting lol

The GFS nailed that one 50 million out lol

Oh I have and I curse like them every time these damn dogs come storming into the house. I even have a couple of Deadwood sidewalks out by the shed with some old 2x10's. It'll freeze good eventually then then walking on these frozen mud stalagmites will be even more entertaining and dangerous lol.

Luvin' my forecast for the foreseeable future, mud, mud and then some mud. Y'all know how much I luv mud. Seriously, my grass is gone. I now own mud dogs. Shits everywhere. I give up.

U cashed in this weekend compared to the rest of us lol.

About 2 miles from my house this plow has been working SR's 28 and 13 since around 10am and they are still fighting 2 foot drifts trying to close it. Might be a lot better in the towns but it's pretty crazy how much havoc just a few inches with crazy cold winds can do out here.

Winds blowing so hard here think I saw a couple flakes with Hawkeye's zip code on them. 54 in the last hour strongest gust I've recorded yet. Still "crankin'" a 30-35 below wind chill close to noon. Been below 30 wind chill since 2am. Thats 2013/2014 stuff right there for these parts.

Woke me up. Several believable 50+mph gust on my station, Muncie airport nearby gusting to 43KT. Some of the highest winter gusts I've experienced out here, old house is a shakin', and a little chilly

Snowed started around 4:30 but didn't really start sticking till about 6. Nice big flakes to start but as soon as the wind picked up they shattered. About 2 down with a decent band moving through right now, might give us another inch. -4/-25 with 35mph gust highest I've had on the station here so far. We had a similar storm a few years ago, not quite as cold but gusts to 40 for about 12 hours. It did snow more with that one, around 6 inches. We had 6 foot drifts out here in the boonies. Think the warnings were warranted. Roads are trash out here with the little snow we've gotten. If we would've gotten the forecasted 6-7 the models were spitting out (or more from crack model) it could've been nightmarish. Not quite over but at least a white Xmas, those are hard to come by around here. Merry Merry

Hats off to KIND for pulling this Daniel Boone era cold weather tip placard out of their butt crack. Glad I brushed up on my lean-to skills this past summer lmao.

County was out plowing for about 3 hours here this morning then parked them. X

if IDOT cameras worked lol. 31 looks passable but slow up to 38. Cant see farther than that but they did have 4 plows on 28 this morning

Plowing is futile around here. Some 4 foot sets in the country. Drifting efficiency is at its max. Storm total 7 so far with 3-4 hours to go per radar trends. 12 is within reach, we shall see.

FZ starting in the warned areas. Really hope forecast is overdone

Thats a ton of precip heading NE for February

00Z Euro not looking good from a suppression standpoint. Repeating my mantra "I know my climo, there's nothing I can do about my climo, I accept my climo". If I need to head SE and get some real Cincinnati chili, not that fake skyline crap, to see more snow I will lol.

Very similar here except that bottom layer is just water pooling over frozen ground from 12 hours of rain that flash froze in about 30 or 45 minutes. I know from living in the sticks you drop some powder on "frictionless" ice it seems like the drifting power is doubled lol.

Just got back in from my first chance to play in some snow all season (main reason for my anxiety with this system lol). Best guess 3-4 with some 18 inch drifts. Snow stopped around 10 but was still blowing pretty good. I expected about twice that out of part 1 which would've been roughly half of a basic model consensus at 10-1 ratios yesterday. Never do, never will buy into gfs/Nam krazy kuchera 20 inches like they were spitting out but the euro was consistently showing 10 maybe 12 10-1 with part 1 for here. Like has been mentioned, that damn front basically stopped for about 6 hours 25 miles to my NW. It was no speed demon but I thought it would be snowing by 1 or 2pm. A little concerned about suppression with part 2. Lets see how this next wave bounces around the TN valley. If I can squeeze another 10 I'll be very happy lol.
