LMK had us at 1/2 inch total and right now at 3 plus and still a couple hours to go. Might end up around 4. They have been poo-pooing the Wednesday system and saying maybe an inch so that one is looking good for a foot.
Got up at 1130 pm yesterday and was getting freezing rain and it has not stopped since then. It started mixing with sleet at around 8 am and has been mostly sleet since around noon. Luckily only got about a quarter inch of ice and around 2 inches of sleet. Was supposed to switch to snow around 1 o’clock but still not a flake.
Hoping to stay out of the significant ice and eek out a WSW for a 4 inch snow right at the end. We have had four snows this winter and all have been a half inch or less so I’ll take it.
So was watching the weather last night and they showed the NHC forecast cone with intensities showing a cat 2 at landfall. Why do they put that out there 5 days in advance with intensity forecasts being what they are?
Today is the ninth anniversary of the big outbreak that included the Henryville tornado. The funnel cloud that eventually became that tornado passed about 5 miles to my south. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk
Same here. Starting to hear the B word thrown around. Doubt it meets strict criteria but close enough we might get some pretty sizable drifts. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk
LMK had southern indiana at 2 to 5. Local stations wont make a call before 12 to 18 out, change it 5 times and then declare victory. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk
I was in the sweet spot in 2004. It took a week for the plows to get by my house. One of the neighbors had an excavating business and used a loader to push open one lane but if you met anyone one of you was going to have a long way to back up. I was off from work so it was a lot of fun. We had about the same in March of 96. Very heavy wet snow that brought down about every cedar in the county. It looked like a tornado had been through with miles of road full of trees and power lines. Some were without power for 3 or 4 weeks although I was very lucky and it was just a few days. I measured 30 inches on the hood of my truck after it was over but of course there was major compaction. The 78 blizzard would round out my top 3 and I dont know if I could really pick between them. I guess I will call it a 3 way tie. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk
Hope buckeye is doing well and he starts posting again soon. Won't be winter without him. Dusting here and now 31 and rain. Maybe we pull off a Christmas miracle. Good luck to the Ohio crew. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk
Everything will get shut down after the election. I dont know how bad it would have to be to do it before then, probably bodies laying in the street. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk
