For my Indiana guys, mike Ryan just posted this in NWSChat: Happy New Year everyone! Freezing rain is the story this morning, and the band east-west through the Indy metro is producing the steadiest rates so far this morning. As this band moves north over the next 30 minutes, precipitation coverage looks to be a bit more scattered. Also of note, the 32 degreee line appears to be following a county or so south of the location of the band. Bloomington has gone above freezing in the last hour and Terre Haute appear poised to do likewise within the next hour. Still think the Indy metro pulls above freezing from south to north in the 830-10 am timeframe. Road temps are in the 30-32 range over north central Indiana, 31-33 in the Indy metro and above freezing south of I-70. Finally, a trend we've noticed all night back into Missouri is that ice accrual seems to be roughly half to two thirds of the precipitation totals. That has held here...BMG had 0.11 inches precip and 0.06 ice accrual. in the last hour.

Could be the best of both worlds

The ice map posted by IND this morning looks like someone at the office spilled ketchup on it.

Thanks for the link to the HREF page and the link. The pdf does a good job of explaining what and why data is ingested into the model. The output seems more reasonable than the sites mentioned above (at least without paying for the data).

A third of the way through winter and I'm sitting at 3" of snow here. At this rate, I won't even make double digits.

I I ended up with 0.6". Top 2 event.

The all-day rain just changed to huge flakes here. Probably 1.5" an hour. That's about all the longer it will last, but it's worth just sitting in front of the picture window for awhile to enjoy.

Congrats to all of you getting hit. We were never in the game out over here except for some mood flakes and even those are vaporizing. It's been a massive virga fest in Northern Indiana this evening.

I see that madwx made this just the banter thread instead of the bitch and moan thread. Well, I'm still using it for its God intended purpose. If I don't get some snow from either the first or second wave this week, I'm lighting this place up. (See seasonal snowfall below for northeast IN, one penny at a time).

Hey, it's not that bad. I got 0.1" during the last LES event.

My co-worker's wife is a nurse practitioner at a walk-in clinic. She has been dealing with Covid patients since day one and it finally got her. She has double pneumonia and will find out tomorrow when she gets a plasma infusion. It is beginning to worry me because it is hitting many people in my circle. I'll just keep masking up and stay isolated as much as possible. It's just hard to do in my line of work.

I might even get some scraps, aka mood flakes down here. Mood flakes aren't a bad thing on Christmas morning.

Probably not the best night for a Jebwalk in the Twin Cities.

It's been released that Indiana positivity rate has been under-reported by 2-3% from the beginning due a to computation error. The state's current 12.3% rate is probably 14-15%. It brings to light what has been discussed concerning not trusting the numbers due to different jurisdictions computing statistics differently. Another case of the Feds not providing a common operating picture. https://www.journalgazette.net/news/local/20201223/state-positivity-rate-in-error

Glass half full, we could possibly be chasing an embedded low-top sup

Question: Would that vort enhance LES amounts Friday morning?

A white Christmas and then some!!

I used to be proud to say that the U.S. leads the way, but now it's cases per million.

My top 10 events for 2020 1. Leftovers from the 8/10 derecho 2. Multiple days of record-setting November warmth 3. 1.6" snow accumulation on 4/17 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Really enjoying this morning's virga storm. Sitting in front of the fire with a hot cup of coffee and watch the snow evaporate as it falls. Nothing quite as enjoyable except a root canal.

No, one of mine was. Thankfully, Hoosier deleted it.
