A potent storm system brought snow, sleet, and a little freezing rain to Central Indiana on February 5th. Snow lingered into the early part of February 6th and strong winds also created blowing and drifting snow problems during the day on the 6th. Low pressure moved into Eastern Kentucky and then remained nearly stationary for several hours. This, plus the movement of an upper level system across the area, allowed the precipitation to continue for many hours. Snowfall amounts around 9 inches were reported across eastern sections of Central Indiana, with amounts decreasing to just a couple of inches across southwest sections. Gusty winds caused blowing and drifting of snow Friday night into Saturday, including peak winds of 46 miles per hour at Muncie and 44 miles per hour at the Indianapolis International Airport. Reports of drifts up to 4 feet high were reported in Delaware county early on February 6th.
