Yep

I think the official MI state record seasonal snowfall is 390” around Herman/Calumet, in one of the late 1970s winters. But I imagine some spot has hit 400”, even if no one was there to measure it. I could see Herman ultimately reaching 350-375” this season, but 390” is probably a stretch. Either way, crazy snowfall and depths, and it will probably hang on until mid-April (actual cover, not just piles) barring a major thaw.

Same here I think we are done here with snow but could never rule it out.

had a visit from wind blew the storm door open, door got wedged into the railing/ballister. Busted the little shock thingy. not sure how the glass didn’t break, it had to have been pretty violent to do what it did. my grill is on 4 little wheels and the wind blew that across the deck but no damage

Snow showers yesterday and today have anywhere from a T-0.5" in SE MI. I picked up 0.3" which was the first measurable snow of March for mby. Season to date is 40.1". DTW also picked up 0.3", season to date 39.1".

Just got some flurries here in La Plata.

Nice little snow shower just north of Charlottesville... Whitened the mulch a bit in the median of rt 29..

Didn't I read 309 is still closed at 3:45pm?

Flurries in La Plata! Snow town baby!

Some reported depth measurements as of this morning across Michigan Upper Peninsula, Northern MN.

High of 35 and the mid March sun just about melted all the snow on my N facing mountain. Currently 29. I expect my low tomorrow morning to be in the upper teens again. We'll see what the clipper can deliver tomorrow. My hunch is it will be too dry at the surface for anything to make to the ground.

Ha! When I saw that pic earlier I thought of you. Marquette MI

Hard to believe this is illustrating a recent storm. High totals were between 30" and 40". With the snow, consistently up to the shoulders (consistently), this would mean a five foot depth?

Wow. Such a great dude. Fair winds and following seas Roger.

Now that winter is almost over it's like we're right back to our regularly scheduled windy f'ing days...

One of our locomotive engineers almost died overnight down on Atlantic city line. Tree fell across tracks from the high winds and impaled right through engineers window at track speed.

The reasons why I don't post velocitie signatures is because deciphering velocities in rotating cells is often not nearly as straightforward as a lot of peoples thinking. You have to really know what you're doing, or it's very easy to make big mistakes reading srorm velocitie signatures.

Prayers for Mr. deek

Pray for @RevWarReenactor. I have been tasked with the unpleasant duty of informing you all that he is currently in the hospital with a severe kidney stone episode that has possibly led to kidney failure after eating a Big Arch and it’s questionable if he’s going to make it. I know some in this sub don’t see eye to eye with him but he’s still human and some things transcend message board drama.

Actual low here last night was 28 and some residual snow and ice melt brings my total tally to 1.7”, which I believe puts me amongst the highest totals in the state for yesterday. Neat.

I was looking back at the SPC mesoanalysis from yesterday and parameters were really not all that impressive outside of the shear and low level winds. I just don’t think we had sufficient enough mixing out of the boundary layer or daytime heating (lots of cloud cover) to really tap into much potential. DCAPE’s were only on the order of a few hundred j/kg. Standard CAPE’s were only about 500 or so at best down south where there were still a decent amount of severe wind reports. But I noticed from the SPC map ITT shared up above that they were all of the standard severe wind variety, with 0 tornado or 75mph or greater reports. Short range meso models were hinting at these limitations some which was why I was reserved on the severe potential a bit. I was still concerned some, I was figuring on a couple spin ups so I’m surprised there weren’t any reports at all. But would I have claimed essentially the weather rapture if I had 243k followers? Probably not haha. If we would have had the air mass we had last week when we were basking in the upper 70s- upper 80s in the Mid-Atlantic this absolutely would have been a much more significant event. At any rate, more locally mesoanalysis had a persistent area of CIN in the Lower Sus Valley. Low level stability is going to cap transferring the really high winds to the surface. The radars not very detailed on these maps but that was the cluster that popped a couple tornado warnings in MD before it moved into southern PA. This map is showing mixed layer CAPE (red), CIN (blue dashed), and effective bulk shear (wind barb).

our last snow last year was in mid April.. hoping for the same this year

I had about 15 inches in March 2018. All the coastals bombed out too late or far to the east.

When I lived in CO ski country I used to go through that same weird transition. The month of May is the single worst time to visit or live in ski country. We called it mud season. Everything soggy, rivers too high to fish, lakes still frozen, and too much leftover snowpack for back country hiking/biking. It really sucked. After my first season I learned and would take the whole month off and travel to see friends in the east. Then my summer job would start memorial day weekend. Deep creek is totally similar. I recommend traveling and partying heavily until the lake season kicks in hahaha

Logan still does not have a dedicated observer the field but the observer is in East Boston.
