Doing my best to find total snow reports across the country and will report them as they come in.

For many people, however it was the freezing rain, just south of the heavy snow that knocked out power and caused the majority of issues:

Indianapolis area(mcfarm-land):

                Re: Re: Re: snow in my area                                               

                By cutworm - Jan. 6, 2025, 8:24 p.m.            

            Snow ended about 12:30 

10 mph winds gusting to 15 mph. all afternoon drifting snow 4  foot drifts common lower 20s for temps.

Some reports of 12 inches of snow. Hard to tell here as it is heavily drifted. I would guess 8- 10 inches.

No traffic on the roads so they must be bad.

No ice or rain here 

++++++++++++++++++++++

   Evansville, Indiana: I measured 5.9" BEFORE the freezing rain hit. Then we got sleet and mostly freezing rain(ice) + some sleet, something like .9" total. Then another ~1.3" of snow this morning. We live just north or Evansville. 

Most of these reports below did not include our 1-6-25 additional snow on the backside of the Winter storm.

I would extend the purple color above,northeast to Evansville based on my measurements.

The band in the center measured 9.8+ inches on the ground this morning 1-6-25. A bit more than that likely fell from the storm in those locations. 


The band in the center is .39+ inches. There's a small pocket in KS of 2+ inches.
