I measured 3.6" here at my home. The official measurement for Attica is also 3.6" of snow. Places in northern Indiana saw as much as 9" (largest total I could find) in Elkhart, IN. This was thanks to lake effect. Go here for complete totals in the area....... http://blogs.wlfi.com/2012/01/13/snowfall-totals-4/
This evening will be very cold. The lowest temps of the season so far will occur tonight. Given the snow pack and the wind I expect temps to bottom out near 7. The winds will make this number feel even colder. Wind chills will be 5 below (perhaps lower) at times.
Saturday: The day will start cold with temps around 10 to start the day. Skies will be mostly cloudy to cloudy all day long. A few flurries are possible Friday morning. Little to no accumulation is expected. Temps will struggle to top 20 by Friday afternoon. Winds will be from the West at 5-10 gusting to 15mph. This will cause minor blowing and drifting snow to occur. As night falls, clouds will stick around, winds will stay the same, and temps will be in the mid teens.
A look ahead: There are several chances for snow this week. The biggest looks to be Thursday afternoon-Friday morning (1-3"). I will keep everyone up to date on snow chances. In the mean time, it is time for bed.
