Despite hazardous driving conditions, it wasn't a winter storm as dire as meteorologists initially feared.
on Tuesday had predicted as much as 5-8 inches of snow possible for Indianapolis, a forecast which fell short as area temperatures hovered in the mid-30s and snows tapered. By noon, the city recorded about three inches.
Moore said surface temperatures Wednesday were right around 32-33 degrees, causing a race between how heavy the snow was falling and accumulating, and how quickly it was melting. "If one of your factors is off by even one degree, your whole forecast can be a bust," Moore said."The difference between one degree in temperatures can mean a difference between 5-8 inches of snow or 3-5 like what we saw ...so the slightest little change that might not seem like a big deal has — no pun intended — a snowball effect."
"Now that the majority of the snow has ended, and conditions appear to be improving across the area, basically, there's no need for those headlines anymore," meteorologist Mike Ryan told IndyStar.
