SEMIweather Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 lol at DTX. Even the Weather Channel is calling for 10-15" JUST on Tuesday night with an ADDITIONAL 4-6" Wednesday. Anyway, I noticed Harry is under a Blizzzard Warning. Congratulaitons and stay safe!!!! They did just up your gridded forecast to 10-16" storm total. I believe they will go with Blizzard Warnings shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rent Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Indy already has 0.63 inches of ZR. Going to be an absolute nightmare for those folks if they can't get above freezing with the main event. http://www.weather.g...story/KIND.html IND Storm Blog http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=ind&storyid=63391&source=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 They did just up your gridded forecast to 10-16" storm total. I believe they will go with Blizzard Warnings shortly. Not exactly. Apparently the 10-16" amounts are only along the I-69 corridor with amounts decreasing north & south of there. So they must be banking on dry slotting.

From NWS IND Would not be shocked if Indy's NWS looses power at some point today. I remember KPAH lost power during the 2009 Ice storm and had other offices do their regions forecasts for about a week. I'll be curious to see how that happens if Indy looses power.

By straight line distance, I am about 20 miles north, and about 40 miles east of IND, we got mainly sleet this morning. Only about .1" of ice before the change over. Watching the news right now, Indy metro has significant icing (side note, I and rolling laughing at the news reporter that just broke her ice scraper on air.) Hopefully that will cut down on damage potential compared to here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very typical. It's crazy here man. I think in about one and a half hours it'll start getting light enough to take pics and video again. Snowfall measurements are going to be impossible...the last time I went outside was about an hour ago and there was anywhere from 0-6" on the ground depending on where you walked.

Kudos to them for doing the safe thing. University of North Dakota NEVER closed! We had to go to classes in 55 mph blizzards and 0 SM blowing snow. Profs often could not make it into class to teach yet the school would never close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, while I fully agree with closing OU today, tomorrow, and possibly Thursday and Friday depending on how bad it ends up being around here...they also closed us 2 weeks ago for 0.5" of snow.
