The Great Snow Storm of 2019

[NKBJ]

Got a colander full of brass ready, gonna get 556 tumble test loads put together.
So let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

The mother of one of my employees works for Howard County. She got a text message alert from the State Wednesday morning saying the storm on Saturday is expected to bring 9-13" of snow in addition to 35mph winds to the Howard County area. This is interesting to me because those figures are significantly higher than every other forecast that is out there.

I'm curious if they know something that the others don't or are they trying to get people to plan for the absolute worst case scenario?

This season at my place, seems like we're the epicenter of snow. We've consistently had about twice the snow I see just a few miles away. Last week, every else got 2-3" inches, we got 6". The same thing happened with the snow in November. Go figure.

I've got supplies for some painting and trim work and gas for the tractor and plow, so bring it.

At the ghuns ranch is southern St Joe Co, our grass hasn't even been fully covered by snow yet this winter.

Hard to say. Some will use a combination of local and surrounding cities forecasts to plan their snow fight. If we expect x amount and another city in the storms track expect Y amount they plan for the worst. Blows things out of proportion to some degree

Weather girl just said she is forecasting 6-8" here in Indy for Saturday. So probably about what we had last weekend maybe just a tad more. I suspect this maybe enough coupled with the deep freeze expected to call out the contract plows for neighborhoods. But just speculation on my part

Ft Wayne is calling for 1-3" this afternoon .
Then more for the weekend, I think they said 3-5"

Back home last I heard was a foot of system snow and the possibility of lake effect on top of it

Ugh.
We would seriously love to be snowed in for a couple of days.

This guy may need to seek medical attention for the prolonged duration of his weather woody. He's not as worked up about the snow as the cold...

Those are the current predicted low temps for January 29th.

That would suck bad. I don't mind snow and cold but bitter cold sucks. Windchills Sun/Mon are going to be bad enough. When it gets that cold lots of bad things can happen quick

Yep. I don't feel much difference from +10 to -10. But past that -10, it's just bad.

Ya'll keep that snow and especially the cold up there in Canada!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Latest I'm seeing is 3"-5" below I-70 (less to the south) and 5-8" north of 70. But now they've added 1/4 to 1/2" of ice to the mix. Ick. I've got my two deep-cycle batteries charged. If the power goes out, at least I can watch tv and get on INGO! You know... the important stuff. Doing the grocery shopping this evening so I don't have to mess with that circus tomorrow.

Raining here right now. I'm up for a snowstorm, but not those lows or freezing rain!

No kiddin? Snowing in Elkhart.

Amen....We got hills down here!!!!

Looks like you guys will get mostly rain, but maybe a little bit of freezing rain. Martinsville area looks most likely to get the brunt of any ice.

 

[halfmileharry]

Guess I will stay in town this weekend.
No school for my son until Tuesday so hibernation is in play depending on the elements.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I'm gonna do my best to keep up with the snow removal on Saturday. I'm sure not gonna want to be out in sub-zero windchills on Sunday trying to clear off the hard-frozen crap.

They've downgraded us here in NWI from a foot to 3-6" on Saturday, but then possibility of lake effect snow Sunday
