First significant snow for 2009-10 season

We're having our first significant (>1") all-snow event here in northeastern Indiana today. We are in the upper left quadrant of the flow around the major storm plowing up the East Coast today. It looks like we are getting some significant moisture enhancement from Lake Huron, as well as some lift from an upper level shortwave diving into the back of the East Coast low from the northwest.
So far we've gotten 3+" of snow (5" on the unflattened lawn), and it looks to continue with light to moderate snow for a couple more hours.
