Thunder Road Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Somewhere just under 2" here, which puts us at around 39" on the season. Looks like we could tack on a good deal more this week with two rather potent LES set-ups on Tuesday and Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Photo of the wreck on I-65, from the Lafayette Journal & Courier front page. For those not familiar, you can see how the interstate bends around in the distance. Kind of the theme as it snakes around LAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 2.6 inches for today...a little more than I expected...light snow still falling as the stars are starting come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 2.1" on the snow board as of 7 PM. I 69 has been very quiet. People must be behaving this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowlover2 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Measured 1.5" and with what is still to come, easily 3 if not 4" seems like a good bet here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vortex Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 4.3" here. Did a little better than the 0.7" Jerry showed for here on his snowfall map last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 LAF with 0.03" liquid which would come out to a ratio of around 150:1. I hate when this happens as you can't really figure out an accurate ratio from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 And we have our first 6" report out of a small town between Marion and Anderson. It's a Facebook report, so take it for what it's worth, but if Gordo is reporting over 5" in Muncie, it could be believable.

Thunder Road Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 GYY is the big winner on the IWX WRF attm. Given 20:1 ratios (at least), looks like a solid 10-12" there: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would believe it. Looking at the radar today, it seemed like there were consistently heavier returns just to our west. I was quite surprised to see my 5", but I would bet someone around here gets 7", maybe even 8", before it's all said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I'm kinda scared about the Wednesday snow. Looks to be a daytime event here and people don't take light snow seriously but the chemicals are going to be much less effective given the cold temps. Might be a high impact light snow event.

Sidewinder Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 About 2.5" here. Still no complaints, well over our average and more to come. The WWA was definitely warranted, roads turned to garbage. Not a lot of accidents though, think a lot of people have learned from the big one two weeks ago.

IWXwx Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I honestly think LAF is good for 4-5" with some lolli 6's in the area. We're talking at least 20:1. Expecting similar results for my side of the state. Looks like the total here is going to be 5.5". Measured ratios of ~20:1 Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

Hoosier Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Blue is the winner in the LAF area. The other reports I've seen are in the 4.5-5.0" range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
