Quick update as the storm kicks in!

Here at work, Just looked through some data real quick. Still looking like wide area of 1" to 3" inches with isolated 2" to 4" in areas. This system isn't a big snow maker for many reasons, however one being that there isn't a whole lot of moisture with this system, You can see in this water vapor map below all the dry air behind this storm, Most of the time when we see big snows it's when we're pulling in moisture in from the golf. However not this time around.
You can see our timing was pretty much on target with this system, You can see it starting to make it's way across the viewing area. Rain sleet and snow. We have only seen snow in Lafayette and west Lafayette at this point and time. 
You can see we're right around that sleet to snow change over. I will continue to watch this system as much as I can, I'm still at work so I may not be able to update again however things are looking on point currently. Stay safe bloggers.
