Jebman doesn't have anything on me. I saw that yesterday on the 384 hr GFS, a Christmas eve blizzard. I'm already stocking up on supplies.

I lol when the point forecast algorithm does this. Can you say wintry mix? Wednesday A chance of rain and snow before 2pm, then a chance of rain between 2pm and 3pm, then a chance of rain and snow after 3pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 38. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Wednesday Night Rain likely, possibly mixed with snow before 7pm, then rain likely between 7pm and 3am, then a chance of rain and snow after 3am. Cloudy, with a low around 32. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Thursday A chance of snow before 7am, then a chance of rain after 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 40. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

Meanwhile, out this way I've seen flakes fly on 19 days already this year but have nothing to show for it. Greatest accumulation: 0.5". Looking forward to a cold rain later this week.

I spent 25 years working in Marion and living in Grant County. IWU is one of the very few redeeming qualities of that community. It's bad enough living in this area, let alone there.

Then Indiana's suicide rate should be much higher

Lol. I thought that I was the only hoosier lamenting our recent dearth of snow. Ready to change our state nickname to hosed. Lol II at throwing in the towel at Hoosier's 384 Hr GFS Hail Mary.

IWX says that the blob northwest of the city is "plant induced snow". I am assuming that they mean factory releases.

We agree

Even with little snow, I consider this winter. Florida says, "Hi"

That's the crux of the problem. Your definition of winter differs from most of the general public's, including me. Our climo features weeks of highs in the thirties and lows in the twenties and teens which most would consider winter weather whether or not that includes snow. People who aren't weenies consider snow and cold a nuisance to their day-to-day lives.

Yeah, our string got ruined by one unwarranted Watch in Northern IN or we would be right there with MI, Northern IL, and Northern OH.

Since Hoosier seems to be laying down on the job, I guess I'll post the end-of-month never fail CFSv2. Get out your suntan lotion and galoshes.

Quite the IN/OH sucker hole.

That 12/3-12/4 storm looks eerily like what just happened with track and moisture, although not winding up as early.

It's really fun to be tracking a major storm system in November and I'm happy for the weenies to my north and west that are about to get blasted, but it sure comes at a cost for those of us in Indiana and Ohio who will only get to experience mood flakes, blustery winds, and temps that be below normal even for mid January standards this week. Obviously really early and I'm hopeful that our turn will come, but in the meantime cold and dry sucks.

The correct response is, "Thank you Izzi at LOT for the between AFDs update."

As someone said earlier, I wouldn't want to be on the forecast desk with the major track waffling amongst the globals. IWX is in the same boat even though the heavy snow band will be northwest of most of the CWA, although wind and temps will be an issue here. In fact, when asked about it earlier, here is the reply : (5:07 PM) abc57-tyler.sebree: Thoughts on the GFS vs. EURO battle on Sunday? Ugh. (5:19 PM) nwsbot: IWX issues Hazardous Weather Outlook (HWO) (5:23 PM) nwsiwx-megan.dodson: *Slams head into wall*

Leave it to our fearless moderator to break out the Navy. If the GFS holds course, even I'll be smiling.

You don't post much anymore, but you sure bring the good stuff when you do! Happy Thanksgiving to you.

You are on the warm side of the temperature gradient. We are looking at 34° and breezy here today.

What an unusual month. I just checked my CoCoRaHS record and I have seen flakes flying on 11 days this month with more chances next week. Granted, it has only been trace amounts, but it is something I'm used to seeing in February, not November. I would venture to guess that it is more likely to see one relatively large snow event than this practically constant snow flurries/showers. Happy Thanksgiving every one (Go Bears).

Right, I meant in this part of the world. Interesting little fujiwharalike thing.

I don't remember a low doing that, and I'm older than dirt.

Chris used to work at WPTA in Ft. Wayne before moving to Columbus. We are losing a good one.
