The episode as NWS IND wrote it up.
A powerful winter storm moved across the United States, bringing severe winter weather to central Indiana from January 31 through February 2. Freezing rain, sleet, snow, strong winds, and arctic air impacted the state. Indianapolis received 0.6 inches of ice and 1.0 inch of sleet from the storm. The first wave of precipitation fell during the evening of January 31, and this precipitation was mainly freezing rain and sleet, with a little snow across the northern parts of central Indiana. The second wave of precipitation began in earnest during the afternoon of February 1 and continued into the overnight hours. Far northern sections of central Indiana saw snow, with a sleet/freezing rain mix across much of the central part of the area. Across the south, mainly freezing rain was noted. After the strong area of low pressure passed over the area, winds increased with gusts over 50 mph reported. This wind created blowing and drifting snow across the north, and caused trees and power lines to come down across areas that saw freezing rain. Travel became near impossible at many locations, with several counties across central Indiana restricting travel. As the storm moved across the state, warm air briefly moved into central Indiana warming temperatures to above freezing across parts of the area. The warmth was brief though, as Arctic air flowed into the area after the storm passed. Temperatures dropped to near zero in some locations by the morning of February 3.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE INDIANAPOLIS IN 1120 PM EST MON JAN 31 2011 .UPDATE... THE AVIATION SECTION HAS BEEN UPDATED BELOW. && .SYNOPSIS... A POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC WINTER STORM WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT CENTRAL INDIANA THROUGH WEDNESDAY...WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF PRECIPITATION TYPES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED. IN ADDITION...ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE PLUNGING INTO THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE COUNTRY BEHIND THE STORM WILL RESULT IN STRONG GUSTY WINDS TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY...EXACERBATING THE SITUATION. THE HIGH WILL ALSO RESULT IN COLDER TEMPERATURES LATE THIS WEEK AND THIS WEEKEND. && .NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/... SECOND MAIN WAVE MOVING THROUGH CENTRAL LATE THIS EVENING SHOULD MOSTLY MOVE OUT INTO OHIO OVERNIGHT WITH PERHAPS POCKETS OF LIGHT FREEZING RAIN OR DRIZZLE THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT. SOME AREAS COULD SEE A QUARTER INCH OR MORE TOTAL ICE ACCUMULATION BY MORNING...AND NORTHWEST PARTS OF CENTRAL INDIANA COULD SEE 3 TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW AND SLEET ACCUMULATION. STUCK NEAR MAVMOS WHICH APPROXIMATES SURFACE WETBULB TEMPERATURE PROGS. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... SECOND MORE POTENT WAVE OF THE WINTER STORM WILL IMPACT THE AREA TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY AND THIS REMAINS THE FOCUS. GFS HAS BEEN RELATIVELY CONSISTENT AND ALSO REPRESENTS SOMEWHAT OF A COMPROMISE SOLUTION BETWEEN THE RANGE OF GUIDANCE...AND IS ALSO SUPPORTED BY HPC MODEL DIAGNOSTICS. HAVE GENERALLY LEANED TOWARD ITS SOLUTION. GUIDANCE HAS COME IN SLIGHTLY COLDER OVERALL...WHICH REPRESENTS A SLIGHT SHIFT IN EXPECTATIONS TO THE SOUTH...BUT NOT MAJORLY DIFFERENT THAN PREVIOUS FORECAST. THUS...ONLY TWEAKS MADE TO PRECIP TYPES ACROSS THE AREA. ALL INDICATIONS REMAIN THAT AN EXTREMELY STRONGLY FORCED SYSTEM WILL PASS ACROSS THE AREA...WHICH PRECIP TYPE REMAINING THE ONLY REAL QUESTION. MODEL SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO INDICATE MAINLY ALL SNOW NEAR LAF...WITH POTENTIALLY SOME SLEET TUESDAY NIGHT. EXPECTATION IS THAT A LARGE PORTION ALONG THE INTERSTATE 70 CORRIDOR WILL SEE FREEZING RAIN OR A MIX OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET FOR MUCH OF THE EVENT...WITH SLEET MORE LIKELY THE FURTHER NORTH ONE GOES. STILL EXPECT THAT SOME ABOVE FREEZING SURFACE AIR MAY PUSH INTO THE SOUTHERN TIER OF THE AREA MAINLY TOMORROW EVENING...AND HELP TO CUT DOWN SLIGHTLY ON ICE ACCUMULATIONS THERE. AS THE STORM EXITS THE AREA...MUCH COLDER AIR WILL PUSH INTO THE AREA LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...AND REMAINING PRECIP WILL CHANGE OVER TO SNOW. LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS MAY BE POSSIBLE MOST EVERYWHERE THEN. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY/... SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SNOW WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS A WEAK UPPER TOUGH MOVES THROUGH...OTHERWISE...ARCTIC AIR WILL BUILD IN ALLOWING DRY BUT VERY FRIGID WEATHER ESPECIALLY IN THE SNOW PACK BUT EVEN IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE THE DREADED ICE WHICH COULD EXACERBATE THE EXPECTED POWER LOSS. WENT BELOW ZERO NUMBERS ESPECIALLY EARLY IN THE EXTENDED. && .AVIATION /DISCUSSION FOR THE 010600Z TAFS/... MOSTLY IFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH LIFR POSSIBLE. FIRST WAVE OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE EXITING OR ABOUT TO EXIT THE SITES AT VALID TIME. BEHIND THIS THERE WILL BE PATCHY LIGHT PRECIPITATION AND FOG UNTIL THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT WAVE MOVES IN DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. TRIED TO SHOW THIS TIMING IN TAFS WITH LIGHTER PRECIPITATION IN BETWEEN. KLAF STILL LOOKS TO BE PREDOMINANT SNOW WITH SLEET MIXING IN AT TIMES. ELSEWHERE FREEZING RAIN WILL BE THE PREDOMINANT TYPE...WITH FREEZING DRIZZLE IN BETWEEN WAVES OF PRECIPITATION. WINDS WILL INCREASE DURING THE DAY TUESDAY...WITH GUSTS NEAR OR OVER 30KT EXPECTED BY MID AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS TUESDAY. && .IND WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
