Chicago WX Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 definite very light rain/snow mix in N Kosciusko. You're sitting pretty. Should be a good one for your location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeenerWx Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Heh, the recent 12z RGEM p-type map says we should start mixing here around noon, all snow by 1PM. Not holding my breath on that transpiring. If this storm even thinks about dumping 18" on Marion, we're going to take a road trip tonight. Deal?

Hoosier Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 At this point I would extend the 6+ area southward to Kokomo/Marion and go with 6-10" locally higher from there northward through IN and into MI. I don't think we'll have much of a problem seeing double digit totals at least in isolated fashion. As for LAF, I'm glad I didn't go higher than 2-4". I guess I'm leaning toward the lower end at this point but this is a rapidly evolving situation. We'll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that may end being too aggressive. We'll see. Agreed with your thoughts on the 6"+ area. Going to be a great hit for those areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately this looks like it's gonna be a close miss for us, relative to the dumping that's look to take place 30 or so miles to the east. I hope it's not the theme of this upcoming winter.

I should have gone back home for that one. Stuck it out in LAF for the sleet storm of the century. Temp down to 36º on my thermometer. Keep dropping baby... And now back over to PLRA here.
