This has potential to be the biggest storm I've covered while working in news. The anticipation is palpable. So much planning and preparation happening today...now we wait.
Also showing impressive banding just to my west with 20 inch totals in northern Porter and LaPorte. 20 inches may not be realistic...but a good indication someone will get buried under good banding.
Edit: Might be some lake enhancement there, too?
Not gonna lie...a little nervous being on the northern edge of a foot of snow. Anymore southeast shifts and I'm in "low-end warning criteria". Hoping to stop the bleeding with the 00z runs tonight.
Settling on the fact it’s most likely the heaviest snows with this entire event will be just to my south. Still can’t be upset with over a foot though.
Mine has definitely already been impacted. Getting to and from work could be interesting this week. Thankful it’s only a 5 minute drive but I can’t call off.
They may consider an advisory.
Jackpot zone on both GFS and Euro about two counties south of me. Not that I would complain about a foot and a half of snow over two days. I think my all time personal record is 21ish inches New Years Blizzard of ‘99.
In all my amateur winter storm tracking days I can’t recall seeing a solution like the GFS is showing. Euro seems more plausible just based on what my unskilled eye has seen before but someone with more knowledge can weigh in. Hoping the GFS is onto something because I’d love to see a 30 burger next week.
