Snow emergency issued for Hamilton County (the county just north of Indianapolis). Looks like travel is suspended there. I suspect more counties will fall as the afternoon progresses. 

 

Well that escalated quickly but I can verify. Snow is just pouring here and hasn't let up for the past hour. Visibility is easily down to a quarter mile. I see a lot of people driving but heading towards neighborhoods... hopefully they stay there.

This is going to be threading a needle IMBY. Not liking how this is looking, just a bad feeling.

Lambertville At 34°.

 

Don't worry. Little minor slotting, lots of moisture southwest of it has to go through your area. Moisture will cool the temps.

It hasn't snowed at all there yet. I think you'll see places cool a few degrees as snow begins. I think I'm safe in Ann Arbor. Pretty bad model fail if we get any mixing here. Solid SN and 30 degrees here currently.

More than I expected to have at this point. More eastern parts of the state might get the heaviest rate but we should do well.

Bingo. Detroit may very well actually see the HEAVIEST snowfall this evening with the main storm, but this area will have a total frontal snow portion of 1-2" while northern suburbs a solid 3-6". Thus why storm totals are higher NW of town. DTX just updated their forecast totals from 7-11" to 8-14" north of Detroit and from 6-9" to 7-11" south of Detroit. If the ratios get fluffy later, that wont be enough IMO.

It will end up raining over the GTA but to say that we will get nothing this evening/tonight just makes little sense based on surface OBS and short range modelling. I understand your frustration, but common.

Oops, I should have phrased it better. I meant 1" aside from whats fallen already. I'm frustrated of getting screwed over all the time. But hey? What can you do when you live in a snowless sh!t pot, lol. And TorontoBlizzard, I actually mean "I will retire", lol.

Good luck to everybody else. Stay safe :)

He gets it. So do I. We don't believe you. :)

Solid rates continue here along the lakefront as defo band grazes the area.

 

Measured over 9" but that sounds a bit high and blowing is becoming an issue.

 

Took a jeb walk down to the lakefront and it's not hard to imagine blizzard criteria being met in more open spaces.

 

Great event.

That's a beautiful train of precip with this storm. I wouldn't be surprised to see some 18 inch totals coming out of somewhere in Indiana or Michigan.

 

I think you're going to see the best chance of that in MI somewhere in a line from Jackson to Brighton stretching northeast and then east across the northern suburbs. They got frontal snows last night plus they're in a very favorable corridor for rippage as the day goes on plus no real p-type or cement concerns.

If IND can remain all snow then they should get near the highest totals in IN but best bet seems to be a little north of there.

 

I had Mottser - B-Rent - afterimage in my jackpot area. But yeah, IND is doing a hell of a job fighting off the very close warm air aloft. Tacked on another inch last hour, and currently heavy snow.

Figured I'd repost this here even though it's not snow related... Don't think I've seen this before
