Wind seems to be the theme lately. We have had several very windy systems in February and now March. I recorded a 63 MPH gust overnight with only 0.07” of rain.
Yesterday GRR wasn’t certain if we even needed a wind advisory. The winds today have been worse than Friday night. Peaked out at 59MPH so far today and the number of gusts above 50 at my house is way higher than Friday night.
GRR probably just guaranteed no snow for us next week in their afternoon AFD. Ostuno was a little excited about our prospects next week. https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=GRR&issuedby=GRR&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1
Hoping for the seasonal trend of a shift south over time. Unfortunately if it starts south now, it will probably keep right on going south until like the last storm I am missed to the south.
Had about 2" of snow this morning. I can't believe stuff this heavy and we can drift but it sure did. Almost didn't get out of my driveway. Dragging bottom multiple times on the way out to work.
We managed a couple days of W/WNW winds to get some decent LES but most of the winter it has been exactly as you described it. N or NNW and areas hugging the coast cashing in.
