Winding up

Our friendly "little" winter storm appears to be spinning up late this evening:



Can you find the low-pressure system? ;)

I've been catching sporadic reports and I've seen amounts generally from 3 to 5 inches thus far. A deformation band appears to be phasing and stretching from central Illinois through northern Indiana and also is resulting in some moderate to heavy precipitation, especially over the northern half of Indiana. Warm air has really pushed northward with this system and freezing rain and ice pellets have been reported across a large part of Indiana and Ohio, as well. This will limit accumulations some, but I still anticipate some hefty accumulations by Sunday evening over northeastern Indiana and far northwestern Ohio. We have amounts from 11 to 15 inches over these parts in our IN-DOT and O-DOT evening (9:00pm) forecasts.
