But hey, it’s only predicted to be 6-11 inches.

1-3 more inches on Friday, won’t get above freezing the entire time.

I hate the Midwest.

Edit: There’s been an update! Now I’m in that tannish yellow band. Hoo-fucking-ray.

    Don’t ever move to a lake effect snow area… I miss those nights when multiple feet fell on us in upstate NY and the world was completely transformed. Outside sounds like an anechoic chamber from all the fat snowflakes absorbing all the sound; the crunch underfoot being the only thing you hear. Shoveling out the driveway to go rip e-brakes in the snow covered parking lots. Winter without snow is a half assed experience.

    Ice can fuck right off though.

        Here’s a lake effect snowfall map for the US. Indiana does get some, but for reference, I’m talking about the red (96-150 in / 244-381 cm) and deep red areas of upstate NY. It’s a whole different kind of snow when that stuff starts falling hard.

        Scenes that look like this are peak winter IMO. It’s an alien landscape. Everything is so clean and quiet.
