KokomoWX

Kokomo final call - 4-6" I just think the warm air and low ratios (7:1) will eat away at the total. The 18z HRRR does show a solid 8-9" county wide though so hopefully I'll bust low with my call.

NWS Indy is eluding to it in the afternoon AFD. The primary focus for the extended will be on the potential for a high impact winter storm over parts of central Indiana this weekend. In addition as has been expected since the Fall...this appears to be the opening salvo to the transition to a much more active weather pattern that may set the stage for the second half of the winter. An additional higher impact storm already appears on the horizon near the end of the forecast period later next week.

It would be nice to get the moisture and the cold at the same time. I am holding out hope in Kokomo but know it is probably fruitless to wish for a 6" storm.

Fort Wayne is the new winner with the NAM at 14.2 inches. Lots of good QPF for those on the southern edge but so much marginally warm air. The ice threat is back too.

Lock it in! (I think this is my first real chance at a 6"+ storm in a very long time.)

You showing no love for those south. This is our storm.

So I'm getting sleet.

Best chance we have had all year!

Bring on spring. The pattern change, if happening, ain't doing crap.

Looks like a couple of weeks until Johnson and Johnson gets approval of its single dose vaccine. Super easy storage requirements will be a plus too. https://nypost.com/2021/01/23/fauci-johnson-johnson-covid-vaccine-may-get-approval-in-2-weeks/

It is eleven degrees this morning and just a day away from a solid snow storm to my north. The cut-off will be sharp and I'll be whiffed again. So many misses both north and south over recent years. My last 6" snowfall was Jan 12/13, 2019. Since then we had the over performer on December 16th this season for 4.2" but zero other 4+ inch snowfalls. March 25, 2013 was the last time I saw double digits. You can guess that it didn't last long. There have been just 11 events with 4 or more inches since the beginning of the 2012-2013 season. A bit further back was the sleet fest of GHD where models show Kokomo getting buried only to get 6 inches or so of sleet. FML Kokomo is due. I'm due. Looking at something coming up mid week and seeing I'll be riding the south gradient but will likely see mostly mixed at best is heartbreaking. I'm so tired of the complete turds I've been getting. I am ready to say screw it and wish for a torch that would make March 2012 seem like a cold shower. Bring it on the heat baby.

I've worn my mask indoors and been out and about and have been dining inside at least once or twice per week. I'm also in K-12 education around several thousand of student and staff. We have been in school since August when the school year began. I also vacationed out of state in the fall. I think my secret to not getting sick at all throughout has been good hygiene, some social distancing mask wearing, and a regiment of vitamins taken twice daily. Elderberry Gummies - 260mg Sambucus, Vitamin C and Zinc D3 - 50 mcg C - 1000 mg B12 1000 mcg Nature Made Men's Multivitamin + Omega-3 Gummies Benadryl Alergy I did direct work with three people who have large families and play sports who did catch the virus and exhibit symptoms so I'm doing something right. I'm hoping for a vaccine for school staff come soon. I'm just a few months away from the age 60 cut off in Indiana.

I see the ice maps don't have a good feeling for Kokomo.

I am not feeling it for me either.

It is so odd to see the misplaced winter warnings. I really have no faith in it improving IMBY despite some discussion in the other threads.

Very light icing in Kokomo. I am seeing power flickers. Sigh.

The federal government does a terrible job pretty much. It doesn't matter which party is in charge as has been proven time and time again.

Vaccine Delivery Tracker... https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/covid-19-vaccine-doses.html

Measured 4.2 in western Howard County and schools are closed.

It's nice to see some winter happening in the sub.

I caught something mid December last year which knock me down harder than I had experienced in the past. I was off work for an entire week and then spent most of the two weeks over winter break down. (I work at a school.) I had a cough that last into summer and couldn't be diagnosed. Several rounds of antibiotics and steroids and it finally went away on it's own. I still think it was COVID. I did several winter commencements at colleges and was interacting with both students in close contacts and their families from all over the world the days before catching whatever I had.

I'm sure I've been put on the naughty list and am a have-not.

Some fodder I caught from social media. It would be great if true... We have the ingredients for a 1978-style blizzard this winter

I've been watching the hearings on Pfizer's vaccine. (They are on a lunch break now.)

Looks awful.... Above normal temperatures and no snow.
