Backroads here are completely drifted shut from the wind today. Real Alaska type vibes out rn.

Lol I love the random iwx headline holes 

Ended up around 5 inches here in Hillsdale. From not even expecting a dusting to completely covered.

My mom who helped encourage my love of meteorology and all things weather related passed away on New years day unexpectedly. Tracking events is gonna feel a little bit emptier without being able to excitedly inform her about snowstorms or severe weather risks.

Following the rules; GHD 2011. I remember the hype of it and just the absolutely incredible blizzard conditions and thundersnow overnight.

Storm I never wanna repeat was the ice storm a few weeks later which hit Hillsdale, Lenawee And Monroe counties particularly hard since we were on the line between snow and rain and got all freezing rain, over an inch and a half with 35 mph winds . Some people didn't get power back for almost two months and schools were closed for 10 days. 

Cheating if I could see a storm that was in my mom's lifetime would be the 1978 blizzard, Hillsdales snow plows all got stuck so the only way people in the medical field like her could travel was via snowmobile and most employees ended up living at the nursing home she worked at for over a week until the national guard cleared the roads.

Upper peninsula is gonna get utterly rocked tonight 

Euro also has pretty widespread freezing rain up to the border, definitely something to watch 

0Z GFS is wanting to utterly nuke Grand Rapids to Detroit  with an ice storm the day after Christmas 

IWX just issued their first Snow Squall Warning ever

DVN just issued the lamest winter storm warning in history.  Talk about setting the bar low.  

Brief snow squalls with most areas seeing a DAB.  Might as well just go all in and go with a blizzard warning, or hurricane warning. 

Oh my god the warning text only calls for an inch of snow, that's embarrassing. If it's for the blowing snow and flash freeze they should've just done a WWA.

Looks like we're gonna end up closer to 2 to 4 than 1 to 2 here.

Kiddos here got another snow day thanks to this, the still not amazing backroads got completely wrecked again 

Euro also has the system for next weekend now, if the storm today, the duster Monday night and this new storm come to pass we could all have one hell of a snowpack 

Final total here is 9 inches. Very memorable storm, thankfully with less blowing and drifting than our last big November storm 

Last little burst coming through here, what a lovely storm. 

Starting to come down heavy here in Hillsdale, grass is finally covered nicely 

Excited to see the weenie band by fort wayne get here 

Gfs has ANOTHER storm next weekend lol

Iwx just upped the amounts to 9 to 14, must be something juicy in the 18Z suite 

DTX is gonna have to go from no headlines to warnings at this point 

Real Weenie Time 

Hoping it trends back up

Euro and gfs both have good hits now

Might need a thread Monday if it keeps up
