  1. Ended up with the 4th cloudiest January in GRR with only 8% of possible sunshine. It was a snowy month thought with 31.3" erasing at least some of the yearly snowfall deficit. Temps ended up 2.3° warmer than normal. It would have been nice to hold on the the middle of the month weather a little longer.
  2. Does 1.99 or 2.00 really matter other than for classification purposes? I don't think the atmosphere is going to say oh, it is only 1.99 so I need to behave differently.
  3. 6z GFS doesn't look too bad. There is some ice, but nothing gets out of control.
  4. Similar here but not quite as much. GRR is reporting 13" snow depth and a peak of 15" a couple of days ago. 28.6" so far this month at the airport which brings us to less than 9" below normal for the season. Quite the turnaround for a sub 2" December. Even the monthly temperature departures might go negative after today. This has been a great week for the west wind favored LES areas for sure.
  5. SE Ohio heading into WV looks to fare fairly well.
  6. After 25+ inches for the month, GRR is now within 10" of the normal YTD snowfall.
  7. Went from 12 to 1 with a strong south wind. Not often that a S wind brings cold air around here. Cold air wrapping around the lake does weird things at times.
  8. Is it still snowing up there? We are still getting snow here. Somewhere around 2 feet seems like a good guess but with the wind I feel like Hawkeye saying I really have no idea how much has fallen.
  9. need to really cash in on this part since the initial phase was lower than expected
  10. Do you actually think that is accurate?
  11. Not sure how any of you are measuring snow. Any flake that lands in my yard is melting in Lake Michigan about 30 minutes later with all this wind.
  12. The lack of agreement between the models even this close to an event is surprising.
  13. Fighting virga here. Every once in a while I see some flakes but nothing of substance yet.
  14. Knowing GRR I would say probably not
  15. Winter finally shows up in the UP
  16. GRR hasn't posted any maps yet. I think they are too hesitant to make a call right now. The days long LES after this should really help stack up the snow. Might be time to break out the XC skis.
  17. Not to interrupt the Chicago discussion but on the East side of Lake Michigan it is looking pretty good.
  18. 6z GFS says wait a minute, and it may be the kiss of death, but it looks like Central OH might get some snow.
  19. I have a 54" blade but a lot of the time a blower would be much better.
  20. RGEM and ICON buth have less QPF and even with the RGEM east solution snow totals are much lower in MI.
  21. GRR goes with a watch. Now to see if they can actually go with more than an advisory if this pans out.
  22. HRRR says warm air for the win across all of southern Michigan and Illinois. Not sure how much I believe it but it is a different solution for sure.
  23. You have a much better chance on that side of the lake than I do over here.
