12th Snowfall of 2002-03 Season

On the 10th, we had occasional lake effect snow squalls. Total snowfall amounted to about ½ inch at our house.

During these squalls, we were driving north on I-69 and it was amazing how localized these squalls were. There would be absolute blizzard conditions (wind, snow, cold) that would limit visibility to less than a hundred yards; and then a few miles down the road it would be dry and the ground was absolutely devoid of snow. It would have been interesting to see a satellite image of the snowcover the next morning (if it hadn't been overcast), to see the bands of snow cover from those squalls.

Season snowfall: 21½ to 22½ inches.
