We could use an upgrade here. After driving in and making it home ahead of the new snow through wind-blown and significantly narrowed county arterial roads (albeit in open country) the squalls tearing it up right now are making this like GHD all over again. Passed three cars in the ditch here just outside town in virtual no/ultra-low visibility.

IND is excited

 


CURRENT HRRR CONTINUES TO BRING SQUALLS INTO THE NORTHERN WABASH
VALLEY AFTER 02Z...SWEEPING SOUTHEAST QUICKLY. THE THERMODYNAMIC
PROFILES LOOK SIMILAR TO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH SHALLOW BUT STEEP
LAPSE RATES TO AROUND 900MB AND A THIN LAYER OF INSTABILITY TO BOOT
FOR ABOUT AN HOUR OR TWO IN TANDEM WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. WITH
40-50KTS NOTED AT ABOUT 3KFT...THE PRESENCE OF AN INTENSE BAROCLINIC
ZONE...ANTICIPATE STRONG WIND GUSTS TO 40-50 MPH AND POSSIBLY HIGHER
WITH THE SQUALLS ALONG WITH BRIEF HEAVY SNOWFALL. WHILE SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS ALONE WILL ONLY BE AN INCH OR SO AT MOST...THE COMBINATION
OF HEAVY SNOW WITH THE STRONG WINDS WILL BRING A RENEWED PERIOD OF
WHITEOUT CONDITIONS AS THE SQUALLS PASS ALONG WITH DIFFICULT IF NOT
IMPOSSIBLE TRAVEL CONDITIONS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. EXPECT THE MOST
INTENSE PART OF THE SQUALLS NORTH OF A TERRE HAUTE-BLOOMINGTON-
COLUMBUS LINE...AND WILL LIKELY ADD A STRONGLY WORDED SPS THAT
FOCUSES STRICTLY ON THE IMPACTS FROM THE SNOW SQUALLS TO GO ALONG
WITH THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY. POPS LOOK PRETTY GOOD AT THIS
POINT AND WILL MAKE ONLY SUBTLE ADJUSTMENTS.

RAPIDLY DROPPING TEMPS AND STRONG WINDS WILL BE THE RULE BEHIND THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH HAVE BEEN NOTED
300-400 MILES BEHIND THE FRONT WITHIN THE INTENSE COLD ADVECTION AND
EXPECT STRONG WINDS TO CONTINUE FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT ACROSS THE
REGION. THIS WILL ENABLE ADDITIONAL BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW
OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN RURAL AREAS OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE
FORECAST AREA. ONE ADDITIONAL PROBLEM COURTESY OF OUR RAPID THAW
TODAY AND REFREEZE TONIGHT AS TEMPS TUMBLE...ICY SPOTS ARE LIKELY TO
FORM WHERE ROADS EXPERIENCED MELTING. ALL IN ALL...HAZARDOUS TRAVEL
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AND CREATE YET ANOTHER DIFFICULT
RUSH HOUR MONDAY MORNING. TEMPS ARE LIKELY TO BE NEAR ZERO BY
DAYBREAK WITH WIND CHILLS OF -20 TO -10F.

dang just peaked outside and even with these lil gust to 25 mph or so has it half arse blizzard like.

 

Looks like one last band of intense snow just north of my location that could briefly cause intense blizzard like conditions.  Maybe the airport can eke out 4" of snow today?  They only need 3.7" to hit 40 for the year.
