Midwest & Ohio Valley Winter Storm (February 5th - 7th)

[313WX]

Eh, why not, we have nothing to lose anything.

00z NAM shows some signs of a phase (and thus a farther NW solution), though I would like to see less confluence over Ontario. The blowup of convection in the SE already hints at a possible transfer.

I would have gotten these up sooner but....storm took out both cable & dsl, power, and various other creature comforts here locally yesterday. Tree limbs fell taking down power/phone lines which made the day quite interesting. Final snow measurement here at my location was 9.5 inches.

The following pictures were taken during the storm from a tower security cam located on a radio tower at the street department in Osgood Indiana - 10 miles to my west. I work for the town of Osgood in several areas + weather operations as well as my regular work in emergency management...weather operations for it too..can't seem to get a way from weather.

Wind is from the Northeast at 20 - 25 mph.









Time period of pictures above range from 5:10 pm on the 5th to 246 am on the 6th. When I returned home at 530 am all power was gone so couldn't get any more shots off the cam of the storm.

We also have a second winter storm watch 1 county to my west as of noon today...here comes round 2 monday - wed....time to stock up on some more snow totals.

You can tell how windy it was just by looking at that flag. Either it was heavily starched or the wind had it fully extended.

Stephanie, that's actual winds, not stached at all. Going for a couple real time pics now, cam 1 has ice on it but #2 is working fine. Will post a couple pics soon from today.
