What happened

The episode as NWS IND wrote it up.

A powerful winter storm moved through central Indiana on 12-14 February 2007. Extremely heavy snow and blizzard conditions crippled much of the northern half of central Indiana for as much as several days, while southern portions of the area were affected by freezing rain.|The largest snow event of the season struck central Indiana on February 12th through the 14th. The snow began during the evening of February 12th, moving from the southwest to northeast across Central Indiana. The snow continued at Indianapolis for nearly 30 hours, and when it was all done, during the early morning hours of February 14th, Indianapolis had received 8.5 inches of snow. |Blowing and drifting of snow became problematic during the evening of February 13th and during the early morning hours of February 14th. Snow drifts caused the most problems in the areas that received the most snow, mainly north of Interstate 70. Many county highway departments were forced to pull their crews off the roads by extremely treacherous conditions, instead opting to wait the snow and wind out before venturing back out for a lengthy and difficult cleanup process.|The low pressure system that produced the storm tracked along and south of the Ohio River across Kentucky which is an ideal storm track for heavy snow in central Indiana. Snow amounts with the storm were heaviest along a Lafayette to Muncie line. Many cities along this line received over a foot of snow. The largest amount of snow was measured in Lafayette, where 17 inches was measured by meteorologists at a television station. This ranks a tie for the second largest snowfall over a three day period in Lafayette. The largest snowfall in Lafayette was 20.5 inches on December 19-20, 1929.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN
618 PM EST MON FEB 12 2007

.AVIATION...DISCUSSION FOR 00Z TAFS

LIGHT RAIN WAS MOVING TOWARD THE KBMG TAF SITE AT 23Z.  WITH TEMPS
AT KBMG ABOVE FREEZING WILL START PRECIP AS -RA THEN MIX WITH SNOW
THEN FZRA AS THE H85 WARM FRONT PASSES THROUGH CENTRAL INDIANA LATER
THIS EVENING.  WILL ALSO PUSH BACK TIMING OF THE ONSET OF PRECIP AT
KHUF...KIND AND KLAF BASED ON 23Z RADAR TRENDS.

FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW SOME COOLER TEMPS THROUGH THE SOUNDING SO
WILL ADJUST SOME OF THE PL TO ALL SNOW AT KHUF AND KBMG OVERNIGHT
THEN CONTINUED WITH PERIODS OF FZRA/PL AND PL/SN MIX TUES AFTERNOON.

ONCE HEAVIER PRECIP BEGINS CIGS WILL GO IFR AND LOWER AND STAY THERE
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE TAF PD.

&&

.SHORT TERM.../TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/

FORECAST FOCUS IS ON MAJOR WINTER STORM.

NEAR 20Z WINTER STORM SURFACE LOW WAS FORMING ACROSS TX PANHANDLE.
FORECAST AREA WAS UNDER CLOUDY SKIES WITH TEMPERATURES ABOVE
FREEZING AT MANY LOCATIONS.

MODELS IN FAIR AGREEMENT. GFS IS STILL A BIT COLDER AND FARTHER
SOUTH THAN THE NAM. REALITY WILL MOST LIKELY BE SOMEWHERE IN
BETWEEN. WILL USE A BLEND FOR NOW...WHICH ENDS UP SIMILAR TO PREV
FORECAST.

LIFT WILL BEGIN TONIGHT AS WARM ADVECTION STRENGTHENS AHEAD OF
APPROACHING SURFACE LOW. RAIN ALREADY FALLING ACROSS SRN IL. FEEL
THAT PRECIP WILL DEVELOP FROM SW TO NE ACROSS THE FA DURING THE
EVENING...NOT REALLY REACHING NERN FA UNTIL AROUND MIDNIGHT OR
LATER. OVERNIGHT...CATEGORICAL POPS EVERYWHERE AS STRONG LIFT MOVES
INTO THE AREA. WITH TEMPS WELL ABOVE FREEZING ACROSS SWRN FA...FEEL
THAT PRECIP THERE WILL START OUT AS A MIX OF RAIN AND SLEET. BY THE
TIME PRECIP REACHES THE REMAINDER OF THE FA...TEMPERATURES WILL HAVE
COOLED TO BELOW FREEZING. LOOKING AT FORECAST SOUNDINGS...LOOKS LIKE
BULK OF PRECIP WILL BE SNOW ACROSS NERN 2/3 OF FA. WILL BE A FEW
INCHES OF ACCUMULATION BY MORNING ACROSS MUCH OF NRN FA. GUIDANCE
TEMPS LOOK REASONABLE FOR LOWS GIVEN DEVELOPING PRECIP.

ON TUESDAY...STRONG FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE
FA...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NRN FA. THIS COMBINED WITH THE LARGER SCALE
LIFT PROVIDED BY THE UPPER SYSTEM WILL LEAD TO WIDESPREAD PRECIP.
ACROSS THE NRN FA...EVEN THE WARMER NAM KEEPS SNOW THE PRECIP TYPE.
WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE TO WORK WITH AND THE POSSIBILITY OF BANDED
HEAVY SNOW...SNOWFALL AMOUNTS APPROACHING 1 FOOT ARE POSSIBLE BY
EARLY TUESDAY EVENING. COULD EVEN BE HIGHER AMOUNTS IF SNOW BANDS
SET UP AND PERSIST. ACROSS THE CENTRAL FA...WARMER AIR WILL WORK IN
ALOFT FOR A PERIOD. THIS WILL CAUSE SLEET TO DEVELOP AND MIX IN WITH
THE SNOW. FREEZING RAIN LOOKS TO BE LESS OF A THREAT FOR IND AT THE
MOMENT PER NAM/GFS SOUNDINGS. HOW MUCH SLEET FALLS WILL HAVE AN
IMPACT ON SNOW AMOUNTS THERE. WILL STILL GO 6-9 INCHES THOUGH FOR
NOW. THIS AMOUNT COULD GO EITHER WAY DEPENDING ON INTRUSION OF WARM
AIR.  /IN ADDITION...THERE IS A HINT OF A RELATIVE DRY SLOT IN THE
NAM TUE AFTN. WILL NOT BUY INTO THIS AT THE MOMENT/. ACROSS SOUTH
CENTRAL FA...WARMER AIR WILL DEFINITELY WORK IN FOR A WHILE ALOFT.
SOUNDINGS INDICATE FZRA ACROSS BMG AREA. PER COORDINATION WITH
HPC...COULD BE SOME SIGNIFCANT ICING. SNOW WILL FALL LATER IN THE
AFTN AS COLD AIR RETURNS...SO BMG AREA COULD STILL SEE 4 INCHES.
ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN FA...SURFACE TEMPERATURES MAY FLIRT WITH
FREEZING FOR SEVERAL HOURS...LESSENING THE POTENTIAL FOR FREEZING
RAIN.

IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THAT ABOVE...WINDS WILL GUST OVER 30 MPH ON
TUE LEADING TO THE POSSIBILITY OF BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ACROSS NRN FA
AT TIMES. STILL NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH ON THOSE CONDITIONS PERSISTING
LONG ENOUGH TO WARRANT A BLIZZARD WARNING. WILL HIT HARD IN WSW
THOUGH. WINDS WILL PERSIST INTO TUE EVENING...SO HAVE DECIDED TO
EXTEND WINTER STORM WARNING IN TIME UNTIL MIDNIGHT. THREAT FOR
SIGNIFICANT ICING AND SOME SNOW ACROSS BMG AREA WARRANTS A WINTER
STORM WARNING THERE. ACROSS FAR SRN FA...HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH A
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY DUE TO LESSER AMOUNTS OF ICE AND SNOW. WILL
HAVE TO WATCH THIS AREA FOR AN UPGRADE LATER THOUGH.

TEMPERATURES WILL NOT CHANGE MUCH ON TUE...EXCEPT FOR FAR SRN FA
WHERE WARM AIR MIGHT SNEAK IN BRIEFLY.

&&

.LONG TERM.../WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/
MODELS SHOW DRYING CONDITIONS ACROSS INDIANA BY WEDNESDAY...HOWEVER
SOME LINGERING FLURRIES STILL POSSIBLE AS 850 MB TEMPERATURES WILL
BE -15 TO -18 CELSIUS AND WITH A STRONG FETCH SOUTH FROM THE GREAT
LAKES.

HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE INDICATED BY GFS WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS OUR
REGION FRIDAY AND A STRONG S/W WILL GIVE US A CHANCE FOR MEASURABLE
SNOW SATURDAY. FINALLY THE NEXT HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL MOVE EAST
ACROSS OUR AREA AND TEMPERATURES SHOULD START A DEFINITE WARMING
TREND BY DAY 7 AND BEYOND.

THERE SHOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT SNOW COVER ACROSS OUR ENTIRE AREA
EXCEPT MAYBE OUR FAR SOUTHERN FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE PERIOD. WILL
LOWER GUIDANCE TEMPS A LITTLE EXCEPT FOR MAYBE DAY 7.
