Jackstraw

Have to be approaching a foot here. Its been rip city for the last 90 minutes, non-stop nice dendrites. This thing wont quit.

Crackin' the whip

Per meso we've been in the best alignment with the surface low, 850 and 700 for the past couple hours or so. Should continue for the maybe the next 2 hours from returns. Still recovering from the last venture in the truck, crazy s$%t out there lol.

Lol, havent left my driveway, beginning to debate my decision to take one more ride lol.

If the RAP verifies it's giving me another 11 that will put me at 16-17 in 24 hours. Those are 77-78 numbers for us.

Quick report from the stix, it's been getting real the last 2 hours. The wind is a lot stronger than forecast, seeing 20KT sustained gusts to 30KT out here. The onset was a couple hours early with that little 700mb perturbation spinning up. Snow wasn;t that heavy when that initial band started moving through around 2 but the wind really started the blow fest and keeping flake size in check. Rates really picked up around 3:30. Visibilities got down to 1/4 mile to nearly 0 at times. I'm guessing another 2 to 3 since 3pm, impossible to measure out here. There's plenty of 3 foot drifts to choose from lol. It was starting to get pretty bad in town about an hour ago, even some decent drifting starting there. Highways are covered slick and shaky, the secondary roads are between being fun and scary. If we can avoid any surprise dry slots (theyre always lurking lol) the brunts do to start here through the next 3-5 hours we could approach 10, maybe even a foot. It's still ripping out there and again, that damn wind. Heading back out one more time, don't think it'll be safe in an hour or two. Quick pic from around an hour ago or so. I'm in weenie wonderland lmao

Looks like about 7-11 tonight is going to be happy hours around here. Bring it...

A poster just down the road, welcome. We need some more central IN posters. Think the E/W roads are going to be the worst, especially if we get into some 30mph gusts tonight and tomorrow like they're talking. Actually saw a Tipton county plow out already plowing their side of county line road. Jokers on this side are slackers lol. Keep us up to date on how storm go's for you over there.

Got about 2.5 to 3 this morning. The big drift has begun. My roads already down to one lane. Gonna go out and play before the main course starts in few hours. Friend just north of Houston said its insane down there lol.

Lmao, that is Sebenste worthy right there. Best AFD I've seen in years.

Yeah I live on an E-W road that can drift pretty good with a N wind. I could see from your area over to west central OH getting really bad later this evening. If that second system pans out theres no way county crews will be even close to keeping up. We're already planning on potentially being stuck till Friday at least.

Say what you want, if this comes to fruition over the next 4 days I think it's pretty epic. That's like a 2500 mile stretch of 6+ inches of snow in 96 hours...

Quick Stanley slant stick measurement of 1.5 so far. It's hyper fluff. It's the kind of flakes your instincts tell you not to touch because they'll cut you lol. Still steady SN. The models are similar 48 out as to this 06Z HRRR run. In at least the 9 years I've been back up here I've never seen a 2 day model run like this, from S Texas to Nova Scotia, with these kind of amounts that have a higher than usual confidence level of verifying. Especially snow amounts through the entire part of the sub that usually has to Nickle and Dime our way to a 25+ inch season and deal with Ptype issues more than most. A "Dickens" kind of event, the orphans get to cash in for once But seriously, this map is pretty amazing especially since it may come close to being reality over the next 48 hrs. Still worried about wind out in the stix, some folks could very well get stuck where they're at until Friday or Saturday including myself, if some of these longer range amounts and stronger winds come to fruition. Sorry for the non scientific post, just a late night commentary of what may be to come. This week could go down as one of the best ever in these parts. I'm going to enjoy every damn minute of it, may not see it again until 2030 or longer around here if it plays out lol.

SN here for the last 30 minutes, straight down, no wind. I'm amped

Down by Brownsville lmao... Location: 2 SW COMBES, TX Description: Freezing Rain Magnitude: 0.01 INCH Report Time: 10:41 pm EST - 2/14/2021 Remarks: REPORTS OF SLEET AND ICE ACCUMULATING ON TRASH CAN. Edit: Can't help myself but thats a first description for me, and on Valentines day no less. I'm torn between laughing and sorrow. I mean it could be Grapes of Wrath shit

Fat snow amounts coming out of the Abilene area, 9+ and still +SN. Save some for us man! lol

That 00Z NAM run through Thurs morning, I'm gonna need a bigger crack pipe lol

Get out early to enjoy it. This one could get scary out in the stix Monday night. I'm gonna be out with an extra 300 lbs in the back of the truck but don't think I'll venture too far from the homestead the later it gets Monday night. Just want to see if the drifting pans out like I think it will. Got a feeling its going to be Sahara desert dunes in the country lol

You forgot the damn squirrels! lol Happy little map

Not sure how long you've lived in Indy but if this week pans out embrace it. This is potentially a once every 10-20 year setup IF it happens.

Might put the Xmas tree back up for the week

Consistency, gotta love it

Couple things, this is Galveston TX P&C thru tomorrow. First thing is it is so nice to see what my usual daily winter forecast is copied and pasted 1500 miles to the south lol. Second, 1-3 inches snow and sleet on Galveston Island? That's a pretty big deal Tonight Rain showers before 2am, then rain showers and sleet between 2am and 5am, then rain, snow, freezing rain, and sleet after 5am. Low around 29. Wind chill values between 15 and 25. Windy, with a north wind 20 to 30 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Little or no ice accumulation expected. New snow and sleet accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible. Washington's Birthday Rain, snow, freezing rain, and sleet likely before 9am, then a chance of snow showers between 9am and noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 31. Wind chill values between 15 and 20. Windy, with a northwest wind 20 to 25 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Little or no ice accumulation expected. New snow and sleet accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

Well tiss weenie day on my limb of the evolutionary tree and she's at work so, um, hell yeah

My college roommates and I at Purdue bet on a similar scenario of bringing home two Double Digits in a 3 day weekend. I can just say nobody won
