KeenerWx Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Really? I have found INDOT to be highly effective with snow removal in the past. I was quite surprised. I saw no snowplows on the road during my trip. Also, I'm pretty curious about the snow total up @ home. They had some decent returns for quite awhile tonight.

Chicago WX Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I remember that thing was an absolute disaster on 2/6/07. I'm sure the extremely cold temps didn't help matters. I think I stayed off the roads entirely that day. I see Chad has 3.9" as of midnight. Great comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeenerWx Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I was being sarcastic. I'm not at all surprised. Haha. I really have not experienced the roads around here during snow events. Previously I lived on campus so I really had no reason to venture out. 52 tonight resembled the roads back @ home in rural Jasper County. I thought Lafayette would be better at treating the roads. Guess I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhamps10 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 sounds like MODOT is in charge of Indiana's roads too, sounds like the roads around St Louis were an epic disaster at best and down right horrible at worst... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an uncanny otter Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 It started to really snow hard in the past couple of minutes. We're getting hit with a nice little pocket of snow that swung over Ohio and Lake Erie. Combined with the howling winds and bitter wind chills, this is probably the closest we've come to a true winter storm since March 2011. I can see us getting some large-ish drifts considering how limited the snowfall will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 6.3" of snow in the yard around the backyard pond. Light snow beginning to taper off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Still snowing here too, albeit very lightly. Don't think it's really accumulating anymore. Very impressed by the longevity of this thing. I love steady snows that last for over 12hrs no matter the intensity. We're going on 20hrs now.

kab2791 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Heaviest snowfall rates so far with this storm occurring. Haven't even attempted to measure, but somewhere in the 1-2" range so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeenerWx Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Might squeeze another 0.2-0.5" of snow down here in Lafayette. Should get us near 4.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.B. LaForce Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Heaviest snowfall rates so far with this storm occurring. Haven't even attempted to measure, but somewhere in the 1-2" range so far. Yeah, just looked outside, and was like holy crap. Looks like we are getting some help from the low level FGEN enhancing lift in our area, as well as nice sfc convergence. The new low pressure is also shown on this RUC initialization too, right over GRR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 With the gradient on the northern edge of this snowshield you'd think a 1050mb ridge was located over Lk Superior. Toronto4 looks like he's getting pounded while I've yet to see a flake. edit: flakes flying now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoof Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Just measured 6.0" where it didn't melt much upon contact earlier, 5" or so where it melted some, very happy with my first real storm of the year, I was only expecting 4" or so, so it exceeded my expectations, and might get another inch yet if I'm lucky.

WestMichigan Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Decent snow in West MI this morning. Not the 5 - 10 they forecasted, but it is probably in the 4" range and still snowing so 5" is not out of the question. I found this map very interesting this morning though. Look how warm MI is compared to everything else around. That happened yesterday also and caused us to waste approximately our first .15" of precip in the form of rain vs. snow.

snowstormcanuck Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Snowing very nicely now. Decent sized flakes (not dendrites, plates maybe). Probably close if not at the low end of my call, 0.5". So I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto4 looks like he's getting pounded while I've yet to see a flake. edit: flakes flying now. Light to moderate snow currently falling in the downtown core. It looks like an inch is a sure bet. If we're lucky, maybe a tad more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
