WestMichigan

I have a 54" blade but a lot of the time a blower would be much better.

RGEM and ICON buth have less QPF and even with the RGEM east solution snow totals are much lower in MI.

GRR goes with a watch. Now to see if they can actually go with more than an advisory if this pans out.

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.

You have a much better chance on that side of the lake than I do over here.

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.
