Up to 6″ Snow Yesterday-Lastnight In Northeast Jasper County………2-6″ Looks Good for Friday with Heaviest Totals From Far East Areas to Ohio
January 24th, 2013 at 3:17 pm by Chad Evans under Chad's WLFI Weather Blog
2″ to as much as 6″ of snowfall fell in our far northwest yesterday lastnight. The 6″ (Wheatfield CoCoRaHs report) occurred in heavy lake effect snowfall lastnight & verified per Doppler radar.
Here at WLFI, we had just a light dusting (trace) that looked like bleached flour tossed of the pavement & powdered sugar dusted on the grass.
U.S. NAM model is back to nothing for us tomorrow or very, very little. It is the only model, other than our Futurecast, doing this. If these models are right, I will be shocked.
NWS has 1-3″, which lines up with the 2-3″, but I put more in our eastern counties with that 3-5″ & then two bands of up to 6″, as I think some of that heavier snowfall that is forecast for eastern Indiana & Ohio sets up a little farther west. I like the direction NWS Eastern Indiana/western Ohio is taking with potential of isolated 5, 6″ amounts with banding features. I think some of these mechanics will nudge into our east.
I like 2-6″ of snowfall with the 2″ amounts in the western half & the higher amounts in the east with two bands having the best chance of a 6″ amount. I like 18:1 ratio, so we can squeeze 2 or 3″ out of 0.11-0.16″ of liquid. Same for 4″ amounts, we can squeeze that much snow out of 0.18″ of liquid in this case.
The snow will be very fluffy & have lots of air in it due to its frontgenic properties & ratios. In fact, in an area that gets 3″, it may settle & shrink to 2″ by Saturday due to the air in it.
Cut from 3-6″ to 2-6″ due to higher forward speed in our western counties. Most of it will fall Friday morning.
Looks to be two bands of really good frontagenic banding one near Rochester & another near Windfall.

Let’s get that Windfall band a LITTLE more SW!!!! Lol
There’s you total mad man
Looks like Chad nailed it pretty good this time.
We want 6″ in BENTON!!!!
Ill be back!!!!!
That sucks thought we were going to get some snow
What is the time frame for this to start? I have to leave for Indy in the morning around 9:30.
1″-2″ in lafayette? What a joke.
Hoping that the big snow misses Lafayette.
Can anyone explain why the western areas like Benton always seem to get the low end on snowfall totals, and central & eastern IN get more? Seems like it always goes that way…my area always gets skimpier snow totals. Bummer.
Wow whent from 4-6 to 3-6 to 2-6 and lafayette gets crap again. Anyone want to buy a plow I hate the weather. Cold no snow crappy place to live. Im moving.
And all the advisories are east we got missed again.
Y is chad the only one with bigger amounts then everone else.
This forcast has made me very happy!!!! Thanks chad.. Now if you can make it little to no snow i’ll be a happy camper
Good tv segment Chad.
Hey Monster, if you move to buffalo ny, i gurandamtee you will make a killin plowin brother..
yeah this place blows man, i cant believe southern states have got more snow in a day than we have had all winter. sad sad sad………..
The NWS has the heavy part of snow falling from 5:00 a.m through 11:00 a.m..yuck!
Go all you comments are right on. Monster to you Mad man. All week. Gfs models have called for exactly what we are getting 1-2 inches east of Lafayette maybe higher . Chads forecast covers indiana west to east 2-6 inches. Chad saw something that he thought was higher for us. He has a sense for these things. As usual we are the low end again. This should come to no surprise if you would look at the gfs model all week. Chad does his best the last I checked freedom of speech and opion was our right. Congrads Chad you hit it 2-6 however every one it’s better than 0 inches.
True that Jim, well only the man upstairs knows exactly how much we will get, maybe he will surprize us.
Check out tv 13 Indy forecast she says 1-2 inches area side. Chad sees something more. It’s everyone’s guess.
Cloudy with a chance of meatballs, lol
I remember when i was in afghanistan, it was the winter of 2008, it snowed over 4 feet in about 14 hours i kid you not, i couldnt believe it, ive seen a bunch of snow, i would like to see that happen here, but i know thats a major pipe dream.
Im sayin 4 to 5 for monticello, any rejections?
Mad mad we will talk tomorrow when this is done. The totals where there the whole time font get all the quessing
Errr body do a snow dance!!!!!
The totals wherein the gfs the whole time why all the guessing
I dont know jim, i guess nothing better to do, man purdue is giving #2 michigan a good game.
See that
Hey jim do you live in white county?
Their is no moister at all w this system. It will be light snowing and sun will be out. Their is not even enough moister to make a thick cloud cover. This even if we get 3 in will be very disapointing. It will melt off roads very quickly. For all you snow lovers rhis will be very disapointing
Chad, I think you are doing a great job. Timing of this fast moving disturbance is very hard to forecast. I look forward to each update you post.
Well munster , i guess we will just have to wait and see, dude ya never know, we might get lucky and get a wrap around, or something of that nature, im staying positive on the whole damn thing brother, what gets me is that this so called storm is coming down from minnesota, and how it can surpass us and hit areas east of us is brainstorming, but we still have a little bit of winter left, i think we will get a goodun soon my man.
Was. Good game
I know right, what happened to dem boilers Jim?
I’ve been snow dancing for over an hour now and still nothing here in Monticello. I will try again tomorrow
Live in newton county mad man. Boilers are like snow storms all hype than nothing
Go Lisa
Now how did i know the word snow would come out in reguards to the boilers, lol
It drives me crazy when y’all put 2′-6′ instead of 2″-6″! We are getting INCHES (“) of snow, not FEET (‘) of snow! (And I am happy with 0″!)
Lol
Radar shows snow in monticello but I can see the moon. Thats what im saying not enough moister. Im hoping for 6 in. Never know might get it if its 18:1 but it will be very very fluffy.
