11th Snowfall of Winter 03-04

Passing further to the south and probably not as widespread as anticipated, the promised 4-8" of snow for Fort Wayne Sunday (Jan 25) amounted to less than 2". The snow, which was originally forecast to begin just after noon, did not begin until nearly 7pm. Light to moderate snow continued until sometime between 2 and 4am Monday, accompanied by a stiff breeze from the northeast.

The wind, and subsequent blowing and drifting snow, make it difficult to determine the exact snowfall for this event, but 2" is a reasonable estimate. In the windswept areas, all the “topsnow” was blown off the ice-capped snowcover from earlier this month. By the way, that icecap will support my weight when walking normally, I have to put all my weight on my heels to break through when walking.

Snow depth: 4-10"

Season snowfall: 25"
