snowstormcanuck Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Per wikipedia, Gary, IN averages 24.7" of snow/year. This to me seems to be a certain degree of horse****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizardMafia Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 On 1/21/2014 at 1:27 PM, TheWeatherPimp said: 39 mph wind gust at IND. Lots of reports of whiteout conditions and near blizzard conditions across Central and Southern Indiana this morning. Was pretty nasty coming in to work this morning, both 65 and 865 had quite a bit of drifting going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gino Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 That band has been nearly stationary for nearly 3 hours now, I've got to think that some areas in Highland, East Chicago, Gary, and/or Hammond are pushing double digits snow totals by now. Slightly weaker echoes than what they're getting now gave me 2.5"/hour snowfall rates last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yep, it is certainly fun to watch those traffic cams on the Borman Expressway with blue sky at the state line and heavy snow as you move farther east. I have family in Highland west of Cline Avenue and north of Ridge Road and it has really been ripping there. Now moving eastward to Broadway and the I-65 merger. Amazingly intense narrow band that still extends up to Muskegon area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 On 1/21/2014 at 12:15 PM, Chicago WX said: 5.9" at ORD January total up to 29.7". Now the 4th snowiest January on record...with still time to go. Season total up to 44.8". Interesting to note that while Detroit averages more snow than Chicago, our snowiest January is just 29.6" (vs 34.9" in Dec, 38.4" in Feb, and 30.2" in Mar). Obviously Chicago has had 4 Januaries with more than that. Detroit is now at 2nd snowiest January, just 1.8" away from #1. With this LES, ORD had nudged ahead of DTW 44.8" to 44.5". Looks like a general 1-2" of snow last night for the SE 4 counties in SE MI, totally unexepected, and totally without wind, unlike the crazy gusts out to our west and southwest. Was the 7.2" at MDW the highest Chicago area report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Really wish we had some reports out of Gary. Talked to a friend who was driving west on 80/94 into Illinois and he said the eastbound lanes heading toward Gary were crawling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad drifting. LAF wind observations have died, so can't see how high we've been this morning either. Such a crappy site. I say call it 2" and be done with it. That also matches up with other reports from around the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimillman Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Should've stuck to with my 2-5 here. Was kind of bust on the south side but for the wrong reasons.

I could be completely wrong....but that's my 2 cents on the matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
