Snowfall Totals
Thank you to all spotters for your valuable reports. I appreciate your accuracy & dedication. I know we had a wave of snow earlier in the day, then it melted, which was followed by a second wave. Keeping track of both helped to give the most accurate totals.
Up to 6″ fell in western Pulaski & far northeastern Jasper County. Wheatfield spotter reported 5.0″ & 6.0″ was reported near Medaryville.
Roads are still bad in those areas that got the most snow with significant blowing & drifting still occurring. Even with the less amount here at West Lafayette, there was a lot of blowing & drifting last night with peak wind gusts to 36 mph. It is still windy today with temperatures running just 15-20 degrees. Peak gust for the viewing areas was measured at Rensselaer early this morning with 41 mph. Fowler gusted to 40 mph.
With this molasses-like cold in place, it will take time to erode it away. That said, the next system will begin as snow late Monday night-early Tuesday morning, before changing to rain. Minor accumulation of 1-2″ is currently possible.
