Sidewinder Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 5" at 11pm. I don't think that band is going to get to us at full strength, but we might get one more good burst out of that. The trees are really sagging around here. Several inches on the power lines. Looks like you have a heavier band moving in now and a dry patch on the end of it. Hard to imagine we will get more than 5" south of Indy but if it goes for another 4 solid hours that would probably do it at this clip. As I sit here at work the interstates are in decent condition. We had a couple accidents at the 101 I65 marker. City streets are not so great in Greenwood. If temps were in the 20s this would have been a much different storm.

Jackstraw Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 From the second post in the first thread on this storm made by me: "1. runs out of gas when it gets to IN 2. trends north = warm air = rain modis oprandi this year" Fail.

SchaumburgStormer Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Congrats to the IN members that cashed in on the snow today! Hopefully still snowing for Ohio members. Holding steady at 6.2". 10.6" was my storm total. Quite a bit of blowing and drifting now occurring. Edit: Always fun to pick up a third of your season total from one storm... In March...

GordoFabulous Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 there is a annoying dry slot east of Muncie, glad I am not in that sucker lol......... And right next to that dry slot is where that mega band set up. Somebody northwest of Dayton got screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I feel like a little kid going out at midnight with a ruler and flashlight trudging around my back yard to get an average of 7.9 inches of snow from multiple measurements the old fashioned way with no snow board. Thrilled and surprised that our biggest snow of the season comes in meteorological spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 And talk about long duration, it snowed continously from 6:30am to 10:00pm Pretty good for a March storm. Blowing around a little bit here. If this was earlier in the season I'd be shoveling a section of my roof where a 2.5' drift is sitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Here's the time lapse I shot all day today from before sun up to past sun down. Didn't turn out nearly as well as I hoped, as obviously the daytime snow was pretty lethargic. Would have been a lot more interesting if the ground had started out bare too lol. Oh well. https://vimeo.com/61148801 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Some pictures of snow piles and some drifting. Next to the back porch. There is flower beds under there somewhere! Right side is the lowest snow depth in the yard about 9", left is the result of drifting over the bushes in the back. Snow pile out front - car for scale. Other side is just as high. Hard to see maybe, but there's some drifting up along the berm in the back. Back side of the pond is filled to the brim with 2' of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidewinder Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Easily the best snow since December here. Still don't see us getting 7-9 but we should get at least 5. Not the best of pictures, crappy cell phone. The poor unmarked car out front is buried. All that rain earlier helped snow stick to everything. Trees are getting a bit weighted.

Impressive cold looking more likely next week so there's gonna be a strong baroclinic zone setting up somewhere over the region. I never thought we'd come close to normal snowfall after the record slow start, now finishing the snow season at or even above normal is a distinct possibility. Crazy stuff.

Jackstraw Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 We're still rolling, I am well over a foot. Just got back in from a drive around the country, primary roads and Highways are just now getting plowed. Heavy snow cover and a good inch of ice underneath. Secondary roads are nearly impassable, haven't been plowed, easily 3 foot drifts and still snowing and blowing snow. Going to wait until we get a little light and post some pics. Majority of our snow came between 3 pm and 9 pm. Just measured around the lake and averaged 13 with some drifts up to 4 feet.

TimChgo9 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Recorded 9", perhaps slightly more, maybe 9.2" (measured in 3 different spots.) Biggest snow of the season, which, from the extended forecast looks to be gone for the most part by late next week... It will be good to see some sun tomorrow. Comet PANSTARRS should be visible in the western sky within the next few days. I need some nicer weather, and some clear nights. Pretty impressive snow storm, though, I have to say. Didn't expect to get more than 6 or 7 inches out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
