Cause most years we'd already be over 25" on February 14th, lol. I'd stay under though this year, and if we make it over, I'd say we stop at 26" or 27".

So...no snow, cool.

Surprised it's even snowing at all right now. Thought it'd be all rain to start. Radar shows rain over my house, but that's not so.

It definitely looked like about 5". My car definitely showed it. A very nice overachiever. I'm happy with it. And in regards to the 12" we all want, I of course want it, but I'd rather it happen when we can keep it on the ground for a while, I'm sure this snow will mostly be gone by early next week.

Easy for me to be thrilled. This year has been so terrible so far, that 3"+ is a miracle.

Official 7am update for KPIT is 3". We're getting the biggest storm of the year! Commute wasn't terrible for me, slushy, so slower, but everybody was moving and there were less people on the roads. Helps that school is shut down too. This is just one of those really great tracks. We need more of them.

The fact that our microclimate is very complex as well, means they should be a bit more detailed.

So, what time is that heaviest band looking to come through, at least right now? After 7am, I hope?

The NWS has our low end chance at 1", expected at 1" (), and the high end potential at 6"! ()

^Just one of those years.

Accuweather Spring Forecast Considering the winter forecast was essentially wrong, I have hope this is as well. What's frustrating is if Spring is delayed, it's a total slap in the face from nature, which really didn't bring in winter in the first place. Although, to expect chilly weather into March and snow into March isn't really that crazy considering our average for snow is about on par with December, around 8".

What this tells me is there have been worse seasons, and they were mostly not recent (30+ years ago). So, I guess we're in a better period of snow, than in other points in our history. That's reassuring.

Why is it almost guaranteed? Is there something that hints at it not changing, except for prior history?

I'm completely for this, and it eventually has to happen. Anyway 62 today, gross.

Groundhog said early Spring. I feel like we've been in early Spring, extended Fall/Early Spring already, so I guess he's right, lol!

Still raining here. Over it.

At this point, what are thoughts for Spring? Just based on recent history, I'd say a below average March (ironic considering winter), transition to a warm April and a warm May, and too much rain. I don't even want to look at long range forecasts from those on the Internet, as 99% were so off for winter it's comical.

Me too, though I'd take just about any of them. A shame to see some nice setups, only to have the inevitable happen.

Looking forward to February starting off in the 40s and 50s by Tuesday...just great.

I'd take them all winter long, because realistically a huge 12"-incher just doesn't come around very often.

That's bold, lol.

Looks about right. Snow to west and east, and even south. Dry here, lol!

Those ensembles are just cruel. Would be great, but I wouldn't even expect a tenth of what some of those are showing. At least not yet.

I've never seen a winter this bad, even 2011-2012 had snow.

Like someone said, we were due for a well below average snow year. The last season that failed to reach two feet of snow was the 1994-1995 season with 23.4". Looks like that's where we're heading, and the last season to not reach 20" was 1990-1991, with just 17.2", so that's also a possibility too. Also, looking back at historical records, missing 20" or 24" in a season was much more common the further back in time I looked. The past decade of winters had snow that averaged almost 10" above average, so I guess we shouldn't be surprised at a lower than average year. But it's definitely frustrating when 3 out of the last 4 years have been bad, and soon to be 4 of 5 years.
