From a FB friend in Mishawaka, just east of S Bend….8 inches so far. Totals of 6-10 already common northern Illinois toward the Bend.
8:30AM
Reminder: heavy snow is still a threat for my friends in Laf & Koko. Blizzard warning today/tonight for CGO:
7:00AM
You will wake up, look out, and go “oh.” There was little precip overnight.
Big snow storm? You’re doing it wrong, central Indiana.
Here’s the snow map, version 2. Two inches lower and a little farther north with anything heavy. Muncie, you’re out. Lafayette and Kokomo: still in.
(This was version 1.)
(I was wrong…Version 1 would be Friday Morning.)
Friday morning I has 5-8″ for Marion County. Sat morn: 2-5. This morning: 1-3. I will try to stop before negative numbers, like on Jeopardy.

My forecast is still the same. I’ll show you the latest NWS maps below for your second opinion. The basic idea is the same. My family in Huntington and my old friends in the Bend aren’t gonna like Mister Weatherman.

MIDDAY UPDATE
I’ve taken a look at all the fresh computer simulations, and I don’t think I have any changes to make, although it might be valid to make that 6-10 read 6-12, especially around Lafayette and Kokomo.
I realize there is a big spread in the forecast. I am usually in favor of Keeping It Simple Stupid, but this isn’t one of those winters, is it?
Precip should start as rain in west Indiana around sunset, reaching the Indy Metro from the west and southwest around 8pm. Late tonight the snow will begin mixing in, and for most of central Indiana there could be either rain or snow on the table.
Heaviest precipitation – and best shot at accumulating snow – will happen Sunday morning. But as the center of low pressure approaches southern Indiana, and pushes up some warmer air, rain is expected to mix back into much of central Indiana once more.
The Weather Service will weigh in with any changes by mid-afternoon, but here’s what they have for the moment, if you’d like a second opinion. (Like you haven’t already lol.)
(FROM EARLIER)
Rain could knock down the numbers in tonight/tomorrow’s winter storm.
Six to ten inches is still on the table where the precip will be mostly snow, but that appears now to stay from Crawfordsville over to Muncie and northward.
Amounts would drop off quickly (again this season!) to a 2-5″ snow forecast over Marion County, and little if any accumulation from around Bloomington to Columbus, where the precipitation type will be mostly rain.]]>
