Snowfall totals are in! Plus a warm up that could cook up some flooding threats across the state.

At work again, Just got the final numbers from around the area, Here is a look at last night's snowfall totals.

Remington, 3.8" inches.

Kokomo, 3.0" inches

Monticello, 2.0" inches

Lafayette, 2.0" inches

Attica, 1.5" inches

And then the more north you went the slightly higher the totals got, I have a snowfall report from Rensselaer, of 5" inches! Also reports of Thunder-snow through out parts of Lafayette yesterday afternoon! It was crazy.

Now thing next thing we will be watching are these mild temperatures working their way into the area. Tomorrow I'm looking for a high of 43* degrees with a whopping high on Thursday of 60* degrees! Followed by another mild high on Friday of 45* degrees. Melting snow will cause a problem with flooding in areas so please be ready! I will try to have more on this soon. Take care bloggers.

Looks like Lafayette, picked up 2.0" inches of snowfall out of this system, I will have more final snowfall numbers up later tomorrow afternoon. Roads are very slick this evening especially as we continue to head into the overnight. I was sliding all over trying to get home from the vet clinic tonight. Please stay home and off the roads if possible!

Sonny Williams shows us how things look on indiana route 8 just east of us 421. LaCross, indiana. very slick snow covered and icy! if you can stay off the roads tonight please do so. a big thank you to Sonny for sharing this photo with us. 

We will still look for that warm up over the next few days which will start our winter weather melt down. we will be watching what could be dangerous flooding in our near future! I will have more details on this as soon as I can. stay safe bloggers, I'll check back soon...

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.

Monday Sleet / Snow Update. Latest Data Is In!

Just went through the latest data this evening, It's looking more and more likely for a snow / sleet event rather then ice this time around. This is very good news. I know a lot of you are tired of winter weather however I'm sure you'd rather take snow / sleet then ice! The timing is still looking on target starting between noon and 2:pm EST Monday afternoon. Take a look at this surface chart below.

This is looking at Monday afternoon 1:pm EST. You can see the snow and sleet starting to make its way into the viewing area. That pink area is where we're expecting the mixed precipitation to form. as we head into the afternoon hours / evening hours we will see more wide coverage across the state. Take a look at this next surface image below.

You can see by 7:pm EST the snow is starting to make it's way out of the area. I currently think we'll stay mostly snow during this event however that sleet mix is possible. MOS models still showing snow sleet mix between 2 and possible 4" inches while the Bufkit models are expecting 1" to 3" inches. I think this is a good starting place for expected snowfall. wide areas of 1" to 3" inches with isolated 2" to 4" inches in areas.

Above is a look at the most current Bufkit data. You can see all those blue bars, This is showing precipitation in the form of snow. Still some small bars of sleet in this image however a mostly snow event. The more south you go the wetter the precipitation will be with some rain mixed in. Closer to the Indianapolis area. Be careful when out and about tomorrow bloggers. Have a great night and I'll check back again soon. I'll be at work all day tomorrow at the vet clinic, I will try to check back in as soon as possible!

Snowfall totals from last night. Plus a look at our next chc of snow before the snowy meltdown

I've got a look at your snowfall totals from across the area last night. Take a look.

We were calling for 1" to 2" inches for a wide area in central Indiana and that's just what we say. Starting a little after 9:pm EST last night most areas picking up right around an inch of snow. Lafayette seeing 1.2" inches and Kokomo, coming in with the highest with 1.5" inches.

More snow is still on the way! I have been watching the data closely as we head closer to our next system coming Monday afternoon sometime between 11:am and 2:pm EST. Yesterday it was looking like some freezing rain was possible with this approaching system however looking at the models today I think we have around a 10% chc or less of seeing ice. Some snow and sleet mixed however is likely. Right now both the MOS models and the Bufkit models are showing the possibility of 1" to 3" inches of snow / sleet from this storm. Take a look at this bufkit model below.

Keeping any ice out of the picture currently. We may still mix some rain in with this system especially the more south you go. However currently looking like a more snow / sleet event. I will continue to watch this as it develops.

Also still looking at that brief warm up as we head into next week. I have changed the highs a little bit putting us in the 50s on Thursday!

The meltdown will begin. It will be a soggy wet mess but the temperatures will be most comfortable. we will have to watch for flooding threats though! Be alert and stay safe.
