Winter Storm in Indiana, March 1 to 2, 2005

A strong storm system moved across the southern Great Lakes region, bringing with it a large area of snow. The snow began on February 28th across much of the area, increasing in intensity and coverage into the overnight hour of the 28th into much of March 1 and even into the early hours of March 2nd in some areas. As the event unfolded, the relatively warm waters of Lake Michigan allowed for lake enhanced snowfall to occur in the typical lake effect areas, increasing snow accumulations in a narrow band across portions of northern Indiana. While most reports were in the 4 to 8 inch range, 2 narrow bands of locally higher accumulations occurred with one band extending through northeast St Joseph County as well as extreme northeastern Marshall and northwest Kosciusko County where up to 10 inches was reported. A second band extended from western Elkhart County into northeastern Kosciusko and northwestern Whitley County where 6 to 9 inches was reported.
