165 now, might be upgraded to EF4

Just got a preliminary EF3 rating for Union City, and that's with the caveat that the nws could only access a small area of damage today due to most areas still being impassable. 

MSC has a video of it crossing Union Lake

You got a source on this I want to share if it's confirmed. 

 

Also I am absolutely numb and in shock from what happened today. I never expected this to happen. 

Former state rep for the area posted it but it was also on the scanner a little bit ago.

Branch County reporting 5 fatalities with more missing still 

Multiple fatalities in Union City

Not one to crap on the spc but kinda baffled they didn't issue a watch. They've shown multiple times they're willing to issue one for lone supercells causing tornadoes but this time just didn't.

Union City in Branch County just got hit hard, this lone supercell is a prolific tornado maker.

It's bad in three rivers, multiple businesses downtown are completely destroyed 

Already seeing a ton of people confused as hell as to what 2% and 5% sig tor risks on the new style maps mean 

its time

0Z GFS lost the storm lol

Not every year you this in Indiana at 4:00 AM in the middle of February 

Overnight snow overperformed hard here, finished around 5.5 inches

Is there an expectation of a 20" storm here? There has only been 1 since 1880 and it was in 1886. 1 in Flint in 67 and 2 in Saginaw in 67 and 78. This isn't a location that even remotely sniffs 20" storms ever. Boston does because they have the luxury of the ocean and Nor'easters. This isn't a reservation on you just on the discussion in general. I don't know why the same people bring this up seemingly every year and multiple times a year. It is like they never read climo for the region.

Everyone who's a young person in MI has heard their parents stories about the Blizzard of 78 and therefore craves an epic big dog like that at least once in our lives.

Schools here have officially hit 6 school days off in a row, might for 7 or 8 of even more depending on the cold.

Gonna end up between 4 and 6 inches here, will definitely take it. It's annoying to see the east coast win again but I'm glad our southern and central ohio peeps finally cashed in a big dog. 

Comin down pretty nicely rn, roads are covered. 

IWX already thinking about upgrading us, upped us to 4 to 7

Mood flakes starting here 

Final call 3.5 inches

NAM is coming in southeast 

screw it lock it IN
