bowtie` Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 All pingers here.. Wife said she saw a few flashes.. Not sure if it was transformers or lightning.. Edit: Some areas are without power now around Lebanon.. I was at Denny's when the power went out. That place gets really dark without power. I am gonna hate driving to work in the a.m.. I bet it is a total mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Makes sense considering our varying obs. West side is the promised land. That's crazy...ha ha. I kind of thought Keener's post from earlier was strange...and he did mention hitting the liquor store. I guess not. I guess this is payback for the east side for the late Nov event where the west side got sorta shafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rent Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I'm driving to work right now in anderson, already a mess people are sliding all over the place. Mostly sleet. Sent from my ADR6400L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 final snowfall total here is 5.2" 0.52" liquid hmmmm forecasted QPF's verifying pretty well . . . Skilling. . . Frank Wachowski reports 7.1" down at Midway Airport as of 7:35 pm containing 0.50" of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 2.7" so far at my place...might end up near 3-3.5 which will likely make my original 1-3" call a miss. I was wondering when you made that call if you might be in danger of busting low. It looks like you will, but not by much. We're getting pounded down here and have avoided s***t so far. I will get up at 1 AM to take a 6 hour reading. Ity may be winding down by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I made that forecast a couple of days ago and thought lack of blocking would cause a northward shift. lol....fail. Anyways, glad you are actually getting some real snow flakes down there. Nothing but needles/plates/crap up here. oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Looks like IND has been having a mix of sleet and freezing rain for a while. Area from around Bloomington over toward Greensburg may be the best zone for ice with maybe a quarter inch of zr in spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordoFabulous Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Ripping heavy snow in Muncie. I will second that. Heavy band right over Muncie, and every drop of it is snow. Big flakes too. It seems like it's possibly stalling out over Muncie, but if you get under this, it is awesome. The beer probably helps as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Good clip now. I can no longer see my benchmark -the high tension tower lit up by the St E landing pad down the street. Mine is looking west over/through some trees at lights. I think it's the VP. But yeah, good low visibilities right now. Rally caps on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Snow is very dense powder here, probably 10-1 ratio. It looks like sugar, and has about the consistency of it too. One of those snows where when you go to shovel it it piles up quickly as you are pushing the shovel, far cry from the easy fluffy powder. Thinking we end up with 2.5-3" of dense powder when all is said and done. A sledders dream snow, packed powder that will not settle much at all, and looks like we will at least meet model qpf, if not exceed it, but ratios are just not there.

Chicago WX Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 It's been all snow here and a lot of it. Crazy gradient I guess? Weird. Nuts. And fascinating. It was 80/20 sleet at times here earlier tonight...if not a bit greater. I'd get moments of all snow...big flakes, but then it would transition back. Been snowing like hell for the past hour or so here...so all is not lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
