February 28th-March 2nd possibly significant overrunning event/winter storm

[Hoosier]

Yeah looking good down there.  Steady snow extends all the way back to near KC.  You're starting to look like a lock for a 6"er down there. LAF making 6"ers look easy the past several years.  

 

 

Yes indeed.

 

Spotter reported 2.8" at Purdue a half hour ago, which seems about right.

[Hoosier]

We'll be lucky to crack 3". Kinda surprised how quickly things are drying up to our west/northwest. Good for locations just to our south though, hopefully they cash. 

 

 

Shouldn't have gone to bed dude.  Shades of 12/15/07...sort of.

STORM TOTAL SO FAR  

[GordoFabulous]

Heading to bed with 3" on the ground so far. Radar looks good. This winter is having a nice end.

[Sidewinder]

Very pretty outside. Around 4" now and stronger returns in se IL heading this way. 4-7 was a good forecast but we will easily beat 7" with so much left downstream

[weathernerd]

IND upgraded to WSW @ 3:30am.

[blue60007]

5.5" thus far. Another inch or two looking golden, nice +SN band moving in from Danville.

Yup. Bummer man delivers. Central Illinois has had a good run the last few weeks.

6" looks like a lock for LAF. Hoosier FTW before he changed his mind yesterday. lol

 

3.2" here at 7 AM. I had been telling everybody we'd get 6" here even thought the models shifted slightly south with the heaviest amounts. I was hoping ratios would work in my favor. Alas, 10:1. Maybe I can sneak my way to 5". We'll see.

I woke up to rip city. Looks gorgeous out there.

I think you cracked 3" and not just barely

Nice pics^

Whopping 0.5" here.

[blue60007]

Quality +SN here. Really coming down.

I had to get one pessimistic post in there.   

 

Over in IL, SPI with 7.2" through 6:00am.

Easily over 6" at this point, that weenie band dropped a quick half inch over the last 30 minutes. Radar starting to look a little sparse upstream, so we might not quite make it to 7".

[Northern_IN_Wx]

It has been a struggle again up here...very light snow and only 0.5 fallen so far. Maybe band back in IL can get us to between 2 and 3 inches. Bad forecast by me just to the south. Was thinking 3-5... More like 5-7 (Iso 8).

[Chicago WX]

Yeah, these bands doing work. If we get some fill in on ILX's radar, which looks like it's trying to happen west/west-northwest of SPI, we might have a shot at 7"....maybe 8" if everything goes well.

 

Latest Indiana CoCoRaHS reports:

 

[KokomoWX]

A solid 6 inches already on Kokomo and it is still snowing.

Better late than never. Nice storm for us.

Better late than never. Nice storm for us.

It's a bad winter when the best snow happens in meteorological spring.

Solid reports there.

 

8"... quite optimistic. LAF is at +SN again...

 

Flake size down quite a bit. Still a great morning to stand in front of the window with a cup of coffee

Part of this one was in met winter.

It's a reach, but why not shoot for the stars at this point.

Your forecast map from last night is looking spot on judging by the CoCoRaHS reports

[blue60007]

Nice weenie band forming from SPI to CMI. Could be good for you LAF south siders.

Yeah I'm very happy with it Might be a little to low for LAF & Kokomo as I had 4-6" there but oh well.

Hopefully.

 

Noticed there was specks of 30+ dbz that went overhead from the earlier bouts of +SN.

 

And...we've got a car stuck in the lot here. Stamps this as a solid LAF snowstorm.
