Won't see a flake here on the other side of things...pretty amazing cut off being so close to the action. But you win some, you lose some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radtechwxman Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Easily got 4in with that first thump overnight. This warm nose at 850mb is killing me now. Hoping it can cool soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(From the heavy wet cold rain end in the SPI area). Amazing how this snowstorm is, EXACTLY 5 years later, could be a near-repeat of 3/24/13 in the SPI area (18 inches of heavy wet snow in SPI after initial forecasts of 6-9"). Albeit about 100 miles to the north. And at the same time, just grateful here that this heavy rain wasn't occurring in 10 degrees colder weather than currently--or else a possible repeat of what started exactly 40 years ago today (3/24-26/78 Central IL ice storm).

hlcater Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 This thing is gonna need to start pivoting ASAP, might get dry slotted. Probably have ~5”, but that’s just a guess. We’ve had a couple bouts of sleet, so that may have cut in a bit. HRRR has us getting another foot, so I guess we’ll see about that lol. I have a feeling cyclone is gonna be a massive winner in this storm if he already has 6”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Dry slot closing in fast. Looks like there’s gonna be a lull. As such, probably won’t achieve the 12” total I was hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now it seems like it is moving more east with little to no south movement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Light snow started here ne of Indpls at 8 a.m. EDT. Light dusting on roofs. 2-4 inches predicted here in my advisory area but worried I might be too far ne unless this pivots properly once the low pressure moves from Missouri east to KY. Congrats to all with thundersnow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Had moderate to heavy snow with a rumble of thunder earlier this morning, although no pavement accumulation, just grassy surfaces maybe 1/2” of snow. And .. we ruined our streak for # days without a WSW for this. Just brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually have about 3.5 to going on 4 inches where I'm at west side suburbs of indy. Guess I finally got lucky. I am worried some about the warm nose in central lll but it' looking like the movement here is good for me. Guessing I'll see a total of around 6-8 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radtechwxman Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Really hoping this dry slot fills in. Hrrr moves that deformation band up north to the south but right now it just seems to be parked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*IndyMeso* Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Finally snowing at a decent rate in Noblesville and starting to stick to surfaces. About an hour ago, just 8 miles to my south, they had 1.5 inches. We had a trace. The cutoff can be harsh sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only have you been screwed for a while, you keep the complaining to a bare minimum. All the times you were laughing at how Southeast Michigan always got snow, right now we have bare brown ground and cold March sunshine. Enjoy the snow!

That put the big totals out of reach for us. Of course, the Mason City area would get crushed again. I'm sure their snow records are full of foot+ storms. I have 5+ in my yard. Hopefully, we can add a couple more. It's pretty sad that a lousy 6 inches is such a difficult barrier to pass here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 At least it appears the dry slot is not going to reach Cedar Rapids. As the mid/upper-level low is sagging southeastward through Iowa, the east side is filling in with good snow. We just went through a bit of a lull, but big flakes are beginning to rip again. Even though I'm bummed we were once again missed by the foot+ bullseye, it's still a good storm. We had a bunch of lightning and thunder with the sleet and snow last night and now this morning we've had a couple bursts of heavy snow. While out blowing the driveway 90 minutes ago, it began ripping hard and it felt like I was in a blizzard. One county sw of me, they really got screwed, first by the significant warm wedge and now the dry slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also was BARELY spared of the dry slot as the pivot came just in time, it’s been absolutely pounding here with ~2” in the past 3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Razor thin cutoff on the radar around IKK. Never seen anything like it. Seeing cars coming into town from the south with snow on them...and needless to say for here, nary a flake. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
