super foggy here, PTK is down to 1/8SM, DTW & Willow Run 1/4SM
 

Flew into DTW on my way back from Pensacola yesterday (was cold AF down there but that's another story) and our flight was delayed by about 30 mins so they could top off the fuel just in case we had to go into a holding pattern. DTW was reporting FZRA and the captain said our diversion was CMH (to booing in the cabin lol). Luckily we had a brisk tailwind and only arrived 15 minutes late, and DTW switched to just rain. roads were crap heading Downriver around 11:30PM, but my drive back to Waterford this afternoon entailed just wet roads.

Late post but ended up with a little over 7" of cottage cheese imby. Many roads are still kinda dicey between here and my office in Novi.

measured 1.0" so far IMBY. starting to slow down

what's happening here at the IL/WI lakeshore border?

nighttime micro and band 7 shortwave IR images

After the line of snow moved thru

Comin down pretty good in Waterford

RIP to my cup anemometer on my weather station. Probably got taken out by one of the billions of falling walnuts from the neighbor's tree.

DTX posted today that the growing season has officially ended for SEMI. I don't recall seeing any frost advisories in the CWA this autumn. How often does that happen?

Constant horrible feeling light rain since around 7 tonight. Got about a quarter inch so far though. Humid cool air makes me sad. 

0.86" on the rain gauge here in Waterford

Awesome thanks for this!!!

for future reference, if you've got GR2Analyst you can load archive files from the NEXRAD Inventory on this page for any of the NEXRAD sites.

If you look up Spicers Cider Mill on Clyde Rd. I live a bit NE of it.  We spent all day cleaning up.   Still have some work to do tomorrow.  When I can get back online (not on my phone) I will post some pictures.

looking at the archived radar data on GR2A, looks like a brief spinup might've happened around that area. Spicer's is the red marker.

0.70" from two downpours imby this afternoon and evening. First one blew off what seemed like an unlimited supply of walnuts from the neighbor's tree all over the yard.

Heads up for anyone with clear skies this evening.  Looking good for a shot at an aurora display as big or bigger than we had last month 

May get some breaks in the clouds here in SE MI but not too optimistic.

michsnowpalmfreak is going to love Morch 2023.

shades of March 2012...

Ended up with 6.5" in Waterford. ~1/4sm visibility on my way into work at 5:30am, just ripping. Then an exciting drive home around 2pm with ginormous flakes. So many curvy roads, my butthole was puckered on a few occasions. Very pretty though.

TO BE FAIR we moved into our house two months ago yesterday, and once I blew the leaves off it was way more green

hahahahaha joking aside i will probably kill this lawn more than our current winter will. i haven't done anything but step on it occasionally and it looks better than when we moved in.

Severe T-Storm warnings issued for parts of Seneca, Wyandot, and Hancock counties in NW Ohio.

Sucks that there is such a radar hole in this area. Even the TDWRs are distant.

Southern Minnesota roads closed. It's been a few years since I've seen that. 

I didn't know ground blizzards could be seen on satellite. A few other interesting features too if you look closely.

the condensation trail from everyone collectively sighing because they live in the dakotas

Still a rainstorm here in Waterford. Big ol' cold drops. Gonna wake up to a windy sheet of ice with a fondant of crust flakes
