Chicago WX Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Nice gradient in the LAF area, according to CoCoRaHS observers (totals below). Also a report via the WLFI blog of 6.7" just north of town at the state police post, and 5.5" on the south side of LAF. And here Keener was saying east side would get screwed, relatively speaking. Snowfall measuring remains in the eye of the beholder. 4.5" southwest of West Lafayette 6.3" northeast side of Lafayette There was an additional 1.8" on my board at 6:00am this morning, adding it to the 4.0" I had a little before 9:00pm last night...brings my "best" measurement to a storm total of 5.8". There was some drifting overnight, so hopefully that's accurate. Solid A- for this event in my hood. Up to 17.8" for the season now at KTIM. Still solidly below normal, but more respectable nonetheless. EDIT: I wish I could have "found" an additional 0.2" to get to the magical 6" mark...but I have morals.

Chicago WX Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 between 7.5" and a little over 8" in spots here Very nice. Too bad about IU though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierwx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm going to guess between 2 and 3 inches of concrete here. Even as wet as it was quite a bit of drifting and even some small rollers with the wind gusting to around 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimmesnow Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I measured 3.5 inches in several places here between Lebanon and Westfield. The snow is so wet and frozen that even with some pretty good wind gusts the snow is not falling off the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimChgo9 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I went and measured again. Down to the park, on top of a park bench. A parked car, and the middle of the park. Came away with about 9.4" I would probably say it's slightly less, since Midway got 9.6 , and Countryside just to my south got 9.0. But, it is definitely a bit over 9" here.

vortex Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Ended up with 6.8" here and another snow day for the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 6" on the nose on front sidewalk at work...hmm. Noticed when I was shoveling that the snow had a blue tint below the top layer. Makes sense, considering the relatively high water content. A few photos I snapped from here this morning. First two are from work...poor bushes. Last two from my hood. Snow still caked to everything in sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 4.3" at MKE and 39.4" for the season. I'm pretty sure the season total is greater. Edit: I calculated 41.5". Only did this for the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 41.5" at MKE through yesterday. 5.4" away from normal for the season (46.9"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 29.5" at ORD through yesterday, 7.2" away from the normal season total of 36.7". 36.7" at RFD, which puts them at exactly normal. 24.6" at IND through 7:00am today, 1.3" away from the normal season total of 25.9". 30.1" at FWA through yesterday, 3.4" away from the normal season total of 33.5". 55.4" at SBN through yesterday, 11.2" away from the normal season total of 66.6".

Geos Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Nice! Looking at this I can now see that every area of our subforum has had at least a 3" snowfall, with the exception of a narrow strip near I-70 in central IL. Congrats LAF crew! You waited a long time for a 5"+ snowfall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Congrats LAF crew! You waited a long time for a 5"+ snowfall! One whole year...we had one last winter. It's the 6"+ storm that we're running overdue on, but parts of the LAF area did break that "curse" with this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Love the pics guys. Love the snow bush tim lol. Sucks being on the sidelines but cant get in on every storm. No disrespect to Toledo posters but im glad the snow missed me safely and not dropped like 6" in monroe and zip here as I feared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
