WestMichigan

I remember my days in Central Ohio and whenever Ji entered the thread it was either something major about to happen or the WTOD was heading for Columbus. Glad to see you still lurk here.

GRR reported 4.1" of snow with 0.94" of precipitation. Talk about some heart attack shoveling.

28.92 and still dropping here. Very consistent with those in Indiana and NW Ohio

What are the totals from that. NE IL and MI looks to really cash in with that look

Wish I had one of those for my tractor. They are soooo expensive.

GRR finally filled in the gap with a Winter Weather Advisory.

12z NAM says my area stays all snow. Not sure what to think about the slight south shift on the last 2 runs. Is it real or is it the NAM doing its usual shenanigans?

The Euro and GFS ensemble pressure mean has been fairly consistent of late and suggests that the low will track from near Chicago to South Haven the northeast to near Saginaw. North of this track, the precipitation will be mainly snow. South of the track we`ll see a snow to rain transition. It`s entirely possible that we could see several inches of snow accumulation difference between southern Kent and northern Kent county. looks like GRR is going to have some fun with this forecast. Someone is almost guaranteed to be mad at the weather guy tomorrow.

Managed about 1.5” overnight. Nice to see snow again.

GFS goes crazy with the light intensity long duration LES across the western parts of Michigan. I'll take the under for sure on this run.

Wasn't sure if there was a NSFW tag needed on this one.

Wyoming and Montana would have beavis1729 approved temperatures.

18z GFS is about as good as it gets for the next 2 weeks for a good chunk of the subforum. Pretty good spread the wealth with the exception of maybe the far northern parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin.

I missed that. Is he gone?

I'd rather take my chances in a cold and dry scenario. Given the right setup maybe the lake can help produce some snow.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Whatever happened to beavis1729? He is probably ready for his head to explode right now given the warmth. I miss his rants in an odd sort of way.

Huge bust in Northern Indiana. The highest I saw was around 2". Just west of Kalamazoo they had about 7". Not quite 2" at my place which was more than I expected.

I can't speak for the south end of Lake Michigan where they can get a pretty long fetch but in my area high winds like they are forecasting seem to never lead to decent snow amounts. The bands either get pushed too far inland, they don't stay on one place, or the dendrites get broken up resulting in a very fine snow. I guess we will see how this one works out for those in far SW Michigan and Northern Indiana.

Areas closer to the lakeshore here are supposed to get 2-4”. Not enough westerly component to bring it my way.

At least for some CAD might offer the chance of some lake effect.

Daylight isn't getting longer yet, but sunsets are getting later.

Take it to the Climate Change sub

If this keeps up the drought monitor will be the weekly topic every Thursday next spring. It isn't just warm vs. cold. There just isn't much in the way of precipitation shown region wide and what is show changes with every run of the model.

Not just the GFS, Euro did something similar.
