Spring snowstorm... bad timing

[hoosierdoc]

8-12” snow for central Indiana on the Saturday half the state travels for spring break. Fortunately we fly home Sunday evening. I did not think to put a shovel in my van to dig out form the airport parking lot though

anyone else having travel issues with this? Hoping for rain only...

Rolling NE on Saturday for an outdoor shoot. This should be very interesting.
Now, in reference to the 4WD thread....yes, I have one and yes, it will be engaged.

Makes me quite glad we should be on the road to Florida shortly after work tomorrow.

My son has a State tournament Saturday just north of Indy. I’m thinking we’ll leave NWI Friday evening.

My parents and sister are supposed to drive up from VA in Saturday.

Heading up to Indy for the boys basketball state finals (Go FP Rangers!) and Supercross. Sounds like it might be an interesting trip.

I'm gonna be in Greenwood.

So there.

Tuning in for more details on the forecast lines, as we get closer.

I will be reinstalling my snow tires tonight in preparation for a trip to Muncie on Saturday.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but a line like that might move anywhere around the state before it actually gets here?

Regardless, I'm happy to have nothing scheduled for the weekend.

Exactly! They made that comment this morning on the news. Seuss that if this storm moves 30 miles in any direction it could be all rain, all snow, or a mix of both.

Wel I think there will be a heavy snow band, the “storm” is the front, right? So it may move around but likely similar color bands and snow totals, just in different location?

Latest model runs that I've seen have been decreasing snow amounts for Indy. I can't imagine it being more than a minor inconvenience. It doesn't look like temps will even be below freezing for more than a few hours. Sunday will have temps in the 40's so any snow that does fall will be gone soon.

Sure, winter has wasted its opportunity to snow for the past 3 months...figures in Indiana the biggest snow storm would happen in spring. F you Indiana weather.

I was intending to travel to my parents' house in northern Illinois for the weekend, but it's not a necessary trip. It won't be worth the hassle if it takes twice as long so I'll just wait and see.

Flying in from Jamaica late Saturday night. Glad I parked the 4x4 truck, and it's under a covered space in a lot off sight of the airport. Downside, we didn't pack any coats....

That’s why we alway park the car in the garage, one time I was coming back from a trip with co workers, we had like 18 inches of snow a couple of days before we arrived back, I was in the garage and was home after a 45 minute drive and the co worker in the the economy lot was still digging out, the cars next to him had cleared the snow off of their cars adding to the 18 inches. Of course he had no shovel, Took him forever to get out.

And the the parking was being paid by the company.

Maybe you should move north. We've gotten plenty.

I'm camping this weekend and actually hoping for snow. Go figure.
