hawkeye_wx Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 1.3" here. In December we were getting nickeled and dimed. In January we can't even sniff a dime. My January total is 2.8". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now we are getting some --SN here with decent flakes though so it look cool!! Same here...flakes have been in the air basically constantly since our clipper departed early yesterday. Picked up 0.1" last night, 0.1" this morning, and may get grazed by the clipper tonight here. DTW is at 4th snowiest January thru Jan 17th and now has 2 weeks to pick up 3.5" to hit #1.

I do know there are some open, flat stretches in Huntington Co that allows the wind to blow the snow across the road and it is difficult to keep the ice cleared.

snowlover2 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Light snow starting here. Intensity should increase pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for the most part, south and north (between Gary and Indy) of here it's fairly flat. The real answer is people drive way too fast for conditions.

vortex Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 A pic from in town at 3 pm. Just under 4" now. +SN again right now. Should finish over 4 with some more decent returns heading this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 High end light snow in the last 20 minutes here. Roads are starting to slicken up. Temps have bumped up a little though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 2.8" here. There's a 4.5" report from Erie, but they must have been measuring in a drift or something. Fun event. That 15-20min period of very heavy snow was extremely impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Few pics when it was at its best earlier. I'll try to put up my videos tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeenerWx Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Thinking I'll finish somewhere north of 3". Pretty solid little event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know there are some open, flat stretches in Huntington Co that allows the wind to blow the snow across the road and it is difficult to keep the ice cleared. Tim hit on why I-65 is bad around here...but besides that, there are plenty of open stretches for miles and miles with wide open fields on either side of the road. Really nothing to hinder the snow from blowing around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 ^Nice pics. One final burst here with large flakes. Nice to have a fresh cover again over top of that crappy crust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordoFabulous Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 3.5" in Muncie so far. It's been snowing heavily since this began, and it's still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 The Wednesday system looks a little interesting. Not much qpf but the airmass is very cold with the DGZ basically extending from the ground up to around 700 mb here. Wouldn't be surprised to see that little bit of qpf fluff up into an inch or two.

KeenerWx Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Less than 2" away from the snowiest January on record. Well, at least according to COOP data, which can be shoddy at times. If lake effect breaks right, I could get there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
