    Wow, those totals are higher than Ive seen. I havent been following this storm though, but GRR has only 2-3 inches in the lansing area. Hope it bodes better than that for you guys! The map above is such a nice spread the wealth storm

    Wow, I just got in the loop with this storm a bit. I don't think I have ever seen the entire state of texas under a WSW before. What a massive storm, too bad it seems to want to avoid the great lakes region.

    Maybe you're right, perhaps I am just really negative about winter lately. Just seems like February is always the top month in Lansing, in particular. Decembers have been crap, snows a bit but then just melts.

    Me, already bailing back home on the 9th. Would be earlier but I am going on a roadtrip to Utah. I was getting excited watching the trends about a week ago, hopeful on the SSW but I think I know how the winter is going to pan out based on the crap we have been dealt last few years. Warm till Mid feb, a few storms. Then the snow melts with subfreezing highs with due to the sun angle in mid-late feb. Then cold and snowy March to the beginning of May. This is not a forecast, it is sure to happen because it seems to happen every year now On a different note, I took a trip to northern michigan last weekend (up near grayling) and not even their small creeks had any ice on them. Also, they only had 6-8" OTG. Talk a bout crap. Seems like you can write off December and most of Jan for most of the last 15 years and our only month that was any good has been February. Seems like we are losing that now.

    You said it, my wife can hardly function right now. I have been back in lansing since dec 20th and have seen MAYBE 40 minutes of sun in that time. Shes flying back home on the 20th, I am planning on staying for the meteorological winter, but I might bug out too depending on the forecast. Gonna be a very, very long 10 days. Even our NOAA forecaster was irritated by the lack of sun and weather events...

    Wow! Great video! I took this screenshot during the peak I saw the band. I took some videos too but I was in a no light area and not really worth looking at haha.
  7. LansingWeather
    Yeah, i intercepted that band as it was evident it was going to be through here. Got to haslett and had 45-50dbZ overhead. It was legit snowballs falling from the sky! This was some of the most incredible snow I had ever seen, haslett got 3-4ish" in like 90 mins. It was so hard to drive in it. I was not expecting this in the least but boy did I love it. In the morning the trees were (and still are!) gorgeous!

    Yeah, I love winter. That is why I come back to MI for DJ and some of F. Usually the opposite of most people

    HRRR keeps us snow for 7 hrs, then sleet, then some ZR for a bit. But almost no rain now. Huge improvement. (based on eyeball)
  10. LansingWeather
    Ive never seen it. WAA seems to ALWAYS over perform. I doubt it will be different with this storm.
  11. LansingWeather
    This is a bit OT but the new "updated" radar for weather.gov sucks. Why on Earth did they get rid of the nice radar? What do you guys think about the storm coming in around Christmas Eve?
  12. LansingWeather
    Ugh, it's that time of the year I'm getting jealous! Nice snow headed for SEMI. No doubt I would be driving around in it if I were in town. Looks like a nice 3-4 inches of snow! Hopefully this bodes well for when I come up for the winter in Mid Dec. (I do things backwards from most people :))
  13. LansingWeather
    Why are there no head advisories out? For GRR it use to be 3 days over 90 for a heat advisory. I'm confused.
  14. LansingWeather
    Will the saharan dust end earlier than normal this year with how wet it has been in Africa? I have been watching GOES of the eastern atlantic and some of the thunderstorm clusters are well north into the actual sarahan desert area as opposed to the sahel. I watched some cold cloud tops at around -75*C move right over the Timbuktu area...
  15. LansingWeather
    You guys are hotter up there than it is down here. Pretty wild. The average daily is still probably warmer here though.
  16. LansingWeather
    18z still has the low pressure but it is now much weaker and fizzles out. By weaker I mean really just a strong tropical wave that may only briefly spin up, but I would bet it stays an open wave. Per this run. Still out in fantasy land.
  17. LansingWeather
    The latest 2 runs (maybe more) of the GFS shows an area of low pressure with a wave in the monsoon trough dropping down to 997mb as it moves WNW over Trinidad and just off the coast of Venezuela around 260 hours out. Does anyone have thoughts on this? It is in fantasy land but very interesting to see a low latitude spin up early in the season just like @Windspeed forecasted.
  18. LansingWeather
    Wow, you are a wealth of information! Thanks!
  19. LansingWeather
    What does that show? The azores high seems to keep anything in the MDR on a due west track until the western Caribbean. But, it is still too early for much in that region base don climatology. This would be great in Aug/Sept. Unless there is something I am missing. Such as the area of lower pressures moving west. Not sure if that is pointing out development potential.

    I guess I don't understand how Severe weather translates to no Cat 4's or 5's. If you have any evidence I would like to hear it, otherwise it seems unwise to say that. Also are you forgetting we have had some pretty significant events, such as the huge event in April - the 12th I believe. It doesn't seem to be a quiet year, YTD we have had 10,861 severe weather reports.
  21. LansingWeather
    Now when I look it says 89-90-89 not 90-91-90...
  22. LansingWeather
    Im still in Lansing, and my PAC has heat advisory levels. (3 days with 90+). Be interesting to see if it comes to fruition or not.
  23. LansingWeather
    why do you think the MDR will spawn a lot of low latitude TC's?
  24. LansingWeather
    We officially have Tropical Depression 3. :lkely to be TS in 24hrs https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/
  25. LansingWeather
    Looks like the broad circulation center (as best I can tell) is just now hitting the BOC. Will be interesting to see how fast convection fires up and the circulation tightens back down.
