We’re here. I suppose we’ve just become so accustomed to getting screwed on these big winter events that we ain’t gonna believe anything until we’re literally in our driveways shoveling snow.

West side of Indianapolis- steady rain changed over to snow 2:30am. Moderate snow for about 1/2 hour, now back to the steady rain again. Temps at 32° INBY.

Rain has started on the west side of Indy. Temp still 48° At 2:50am.

So that wraps it up in Indianapolis on the accumulating snow. Almost 12 full hours of heavy snow.

9+ hours straight rippin here Indy and its still going strong. Looks like another 1.5 - 2 hours of full on winter storm. This is awesome!

Nearly whiteout conditions here on the west side of Indy. Just clocked a gust at 28mph. Steady out of the n/e at 22 currently.

Hoping that huge dry slot stays s/e of Indy.

Decatur Co, Ind (40 miles s/e of Indy) has issued a snow emergency due to extreme snowfall and whiteout conditions. All county plows will be pulled until the winds subside, only emergency vehicles allowed on the streets. Request citizens with snowmobiles to contact the county emergency management. it’s getting real in southeast Indiana.

2:45pm Indianapolis: 14f, snow, 17mph N the drifting is going to be quite an issue tonight. Local mets are starting to use the blizzard word. Don’t know if it’ll technically be that bad, but it’s pretty ferocious out there currently and the heavy stuff is still to our SW.

Yeah that was the original thought but I’ll tell ya it’s absolutely ripping at 1:30pm and from the looks of the radar, it ain’t gonna slow down anytime soon.

The main snow event is now underway here on the west side of Indianapolis. This could be one to remember

Just made the drive from southeast Indiana to the west side of Indianapolis along I-74. Mostly it was fine grains of light snow but when I hit the Indy metro the flakes were good sized and coming down at a decent rate.

So I’m heading to Kiawah Island from 5/11 - 5/18 for a much needed vacation. Can anyone give me a summary of what to expect weather wise next week.

A really cool photo of Florence as she’s making landfall.

As of 0430 the IR returns are showing her SW quad has become much better organized. Looking very menacing at the moment.
