Winter 2019-20 Medium/Long Range Discussion
KokomoWX replied to Hoosier's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
That always seems to never work out but for a tiny few. -
The heavy snow band is so narrow. This really seemed more spread the wealth a few days ago.

Spring/Summer 2019 Complaint/Banter Thread
KokomoWX replied to HillsdaleMIWeather's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Everyone was panicking yesterday when watches and warnings were thrown up locally for some basic thundershowers. Spotters activated but I continued to work on a project in the garage. The weather and those forecasting it need to get better. -
2019 Short/Medium Range Severe Weather Thread
KokomoWX replied to snowlover2's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
I hope some storm action makes it a bit further east.

The cold rain continues this week. Nearly two inches of it this week. Sigh.
-
Kokomo finished with a modest 36 hours (continuously) below zero with a -16 on Wednesday and -11 on Thursday. Not too extreme considering most everyone else's reporting but still enough to close schools and businesses for one or two days.

I guess I was thinking all time records.

Brutal cold for the IND forecast area. (Records not in jeopardy here due to lack of snow cover.) However the long term AFD says a change is coming... Highs will surge into the 40s Saturday...50s Sunday and may make a run at 60 on Monday ahead of the cold front. Pretty amazing to consider the difference in temperatures from Wednesday night to Monday afternoon in some places may be 65 to 70 degrees.

While Kokomo warmed up for warm rain and rapid melting, we are falling fast and dropped from 34 to 28 in an hour. Everything is flash freezing. Accidents galore and car doors frozen shut. It is going to be a long week until we flirt with near 50's this weekend.
-
Brown ground again and Monday's clipper is a swing and a miss with more cold rain mixing with snow. The historic cold is backing down from earlier forecasts. This winter cannot end quick enough.

The southern band has a new mind of its own.
-
Almost as good as Cantor showing up.
-
Looking down at Morgan-Monroe State Forest southern Indiana, NWS is showing an inch of rain during the middle of the day on Saturday. Even with near freezing temps, I doubt much can accumulate with that much liquid falling. (I'm camping there Friday noon to Monday afternoon and could come home to a huge mess of snow on Monday.)

I don't have a reliable place on my property to measure and where I normally measure, the neighbor's new dog had fun in the snow making any measurement impossible. Looking around at reports for my area, it seems 5-7" are pretty common. I did see a 7.8" report at NWS but suspect other influences or slant sticking. I have respectfully put my profile pic right side since the distress of not seeing a 6" storm has ended. Now let's keep this going.
-
Pixie dust flakes falling when there is now reaching the ground. Nearing two inches.
-
Dry air winning in Kokomo too. Just a dusting and nothing is falling right now. NWS already has trended down the morning forecast by a couple of inches.
-
Not a bad run at all but probably overdone.
-
I think the amounts are not set in stone but an I-70 storm track with a wide swath of snow seems to be on the table. There very likely could be some jackpots of 10+ inches but narrowing those down are nearly impossible. Jackpots are usually nowcasts or a little before the event forecasts.
-
Yes it was but IMBY (Kokomo), we received 19". She was a beauty.
-
My fondest memory from the last really good snow goes all the way back to Valentines Day 2007. Since then it has been near misses or sleet storms for cold rain.
-
Looks about 50/50 for north central Indiana (Kokomo) with this storm Eight are misses and two show very little with the sharp cutoff on the northern edge. The win is #19 of course.

I never could have imagined such an awful winter. Indy recorded a 0.5" of snow for all of December. While some had a decent November, Indy had just 0.4" leaving Indy still failing to reach the 1" mark for the season. The good news is sunny and near 50 for the weekend allowing me to do a couple of nice bike rides.
