Last night we saw the warm air advection which kind of marked the beginning of a more substantial vort lobe to the south. The southern system will move through southern Illinois today. I have a difficult time believing that we'll get more then an inch out of this weather system, even down to the south of Fort Wayne where there is still a winter weather advisory in effect until 7pm. Here in lies the problem, even though these southern counties will not meet the warning critera the NWS can not flip-flop and back off the thing so we are stuck with a bad advisory that I have to talk about and discount all morning long. (Grumble, grumble...)
Look reallyl closely here. The low is moving through central Kentucky and continues due east. Not really a northeastern tendancy here.
By 7pm tonight it's really over as the low is on the east coast.
Here is an estimated snowfall graphic bringing the heaviest snow between Muncie and Indianapolis.

yeah... it shouldn't be any big deal. But from responding to crash after crash, I can tell you that people never learn!! It wasn't THAT bad out there....
Funny you say that because that was the response I got from the NWS the other day when we had .25" of snow and people were all over the road. I know that I 69 and 469 get really bad with just a small amount of snow. I wonder if that's because there are so much road above ground and bridges.
469 had the majority of the incidents in my fire/rescue coverage area, but 69 still had its share. 469 can be a dangerous road even when its wet in the middle of the summer. I think your right, due to the raised road, and the amount of banked areas causes a lot of incidents. And as you most likely know, even at 11am there were still incidents on 469 coming in.
Sounds like job security for us!
