iu2001grad Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Hey All- I'm sorry to ask this question without contributing anything.. I'm flying into IND from HOU on Thursday evening.. I see that there is a chance of snow... My question: Is IND prepared to handle a bit of snow like my hometown of BOS, or does it shutdown at the first flake? I have courtside seats for the IU basketball game on Saturday, and would hate to get my travel plans messed up! I landed at IND during a 2-4 inch snow last year. You will be fine Thursday night. And GO HOOSIERS! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidewinder Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Saw an article on the news about this a couple years ago. They have some really big plows up at IND now. http://www.airportimprovement.com/content/story.php?article=00555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 It's actually snowing at a modest clip now with decent-sized flakes now. The lake snow bands are way north of model qpf, unless they sink south. Just flurries here so far. I'll be pissed if they dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowing good here. Radar showing these bands slowly creeping south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Picked up 1/2 inch of snow with that LES band. Just enough to cover the grass again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Picked up 1/2 inch of snow with that LES band. Just enough to cover the grass again. Probably closer to an inch up my way, the streets were covered when I got home, even some on the mile roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 This will be the kind of event where it rains salt flakes, with the moon dimly shining through the cirrus canopy the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 This will be the kind of event where it rains salt flakes, with the moon dimly shining through the cirrus canopy the whole time. For some, that would be the inspiring event of the season. My sleet pile is hanging tough. Should be gone by Easter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Latest HRRR and RAP provide a little hope along the I-80 corridor. Both have the southern QC close to 0.20" out of this. Other models show almost half of that though, and radar trends over Iowa are pretty meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue60007 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Some pretty nice banding setting up over IL. I'm liking the SPI-CMI corridor, and hoping that moves into this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 My little area of West Michigan has a Winter Weather Advisory for SW flow lake enhancement as a result of this wave. GRR is saying possible 1" per hour rates for a few hours...3 to 5 inches. Nice big fluffy flakes have been coming down this evening. Hoping when I wake up early in the morning the snow will be ripping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Both of us should end up with similar amounts by the looks of it. Yeah should be pretty similar based on the models. This enhanced band is doing pretty well. Probably 1/3" already. I'd say we're borderline SN at this point. Hope it keeps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
