Jackstraw Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I guess this storm was apropos for the time of year. Last minute changes and many of the winters underdogs surprised, truly March Madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been some additional melting/compaction, with snow depth generally around 8" now. It's a VERY dense 8" though. I'm gonna go with 11" for here for my "official" amount. My 9.6" from earlier was after a day's worth of melting/compaction, and there was a report from in town of 11" so I'll just go with that. I'm confident if I could have boarded this one in an official manner we would have had 11-12"+. We've had heavier snows in the past, but this one will rank up there as one of my favorites to be sure. After a pretty mediocre season (except that stretch in Feb) to get pegged by such a thread-the-needle event is truly a blessing. Glad to see areas like Peoria, Champaign, and especially Indy get in on this action today as well. Long overdue for you guys. Couldn't say it better myself! Amazing storm and great farewell to winter. Peoria may have broke its all time highest March snowfall record both for the day and month. Glad you got to cash in to! Now I'm ready for supercells lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Made a little clip of the first band that came through and dropped over 6" of wet snow in a little over 3hrs. 2" per hour rates as a whole, but may have had even higher rates during the heart of that band.

Wow impressive. Between I believe 3 and 4 here indys nws recorded 3 inches an hour.

March record for snow 30.6 inches in 1906 is our record monthly snowfall in any winter month. So indy and indiana is no stranger to big March and late season storms. 3/24-25 13 5 years ago was one also. And another crazy one was Oct 1989 9 plus inches which ended up being that seasons big snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A true shocker that has no equal or anything close to it in the month of October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Fl. to SC. then back to IN finally 2012. Forgot what "real" snow was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at 60.3" and indy and 10.4" on March 23rd, and have no problem letting them have some love. If I'm going to miss a storm I'd rather it in late March. Now that we've shown that every event will not hit Detroit, let the next come back up this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seasonsoflove Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Got nailed w sleet and sloppy snow in Bloomington. For an idea of the gradient, a friend in North Normal measured 11.5”. 5 miles south we got maybe 5” after compacting (eyeballing, I didn’t get a good measurement as I was out all day in it). Really breathtaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Great pics. Anderson IN is only 19 miles ne of me here at Fortville. I had 5 inches of snow and Anderson nothing. All is now melted IMBY now this Sunday evening. Spring snow is quite ephemeral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that pic, in some of those farm homes, you literally look out one window to snow, and the other window on the opposite side of the house to nothing.

Jackstraw Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 IMO kudos to the forecasters in the various offices associated with this storm. This thing had to have been a b$%&h to forecast, especially throwing out WSW's. While there were a few busts, most offices nailed this thing pretty good 24 to 48 hours out. Not bad considering the model variability right up to onset and the dynamics involved that could've gone either way. I think they did a really good job up and down that line with this thing. Salute!

Yeah and they did a good job pointing out the areas where amounts could vary quite significantly along the northeast edge of the precip shield.
