Yea I guess I just get excited when April comes, expecting consistent warmth which isn't the norm. It would just be nice to get a torch April or March, and that just hasn't happened in awhile.

Josh can prob verify as I usually talk outta my ass, albeit accurate often, and he has the real data, but this seems like the 5th shitty April in a row. Granted it was 80 n sunny for 5 days in a row, but other than that, 20 days of grey, shitty temps.

I'm all for severe weather out in open fields in Iowa, but I'll never understand why people want severe weather in their backyards and homes. As far as today goes, front sped up, less time for atmosphere to get juiced for metro detroit. It's always something on this side of the state for storms lol.

Areas in milwaukee/Illinois that just got a foot plus snowstorm, under tornado warnings. Still amazes me the swings in weather you see this time of year...

Some of better snows come in March due to warmer temps, more moisture return from south, unfortunately we never get em.

You're time to come is now, well in a few weeks or in january when less spring breakers. Man the amount of drunk drivers out last night in miami was scary. Def don't wanna come in the summer, but I guess you're used the instant sweat walking outta the house in dallas.

This was true about 5 years ago and ive been a snowbird for the last 5 and moved down to estero about a year ago. There's def all types down here, but there has been an infusion of younger people and families since covid. People are definitely nicer, happier than metro detroit. Its felt like the tropics this winter for sure. Also for those bitchn and moaning about the off topic talk, relax. Were 3 pages in and it's easy to follow along and ignore the florida talk. If this was a historic storm affecting more in here than I would agree take the florida banter elsehwere.

I'd feel more comfortable if I was more out by you than in se mi. This has nw trend written all-over it if if bombs out like the gfs portrays.

Euro still showing a storm for next weekend, and canadian now onboard....

Models hinting at a decent snow next weekend....

40'+ amounts in NY with this past storm, while we'll be lucky if we surpass that all winter. It still amazes me how a low pressure can be so weak for this region and then boom once it reaches the ocean.

I dont think theres going to be much downriver but should get some pics on the way down. Im surprised at all the school closings. They didn't close most of the macomb schools ahead of the last event, but closed today while I think only an inch has fallen. I suppose the fact the heaviest snow is falling during rush hour is the reason. I did enjoy my trip last week. Sold my house. No way i wouldve believed you if you told me 10 years ago id sell my house for what i did. Also I got to witness thundersnow, even tho the bigger totals were just to my west. It was a weird week, record heat in Florida to thundersnow.

Pics plzz

Some impressive banding setting up over metro detroit, def further north than where the gfs/euro had it. Rgem has been on fire lately locally within 72 hours. Grr has been under banding almost all night and wouldn't be surprised to see 8-10 somewhere around there.

It's weird, they seem to be highlighting the mountains in Oakland County for the severe drought.

Sounds like the perfect combo for some legit march snows in the lower great lakes. Se ridge vs telecommunications. Maybe this winter can end with a bang. Think dtx will just issue wwa's, prob an hour before event starts. It's weird, they have been issuing warnings on time but more often than not, last minute with wwa's.

12z Canadian kinda makes the low go neutral tilt in ohio and bands look to pivot/stall a bit in se mi, which could help boost the totals.

In a fairly short period of time too. 5-midnight. Often it takes 12+ hours to get 6-12. Another thing is the clearing after a snowstorm. We can go weeks without seeing the sun, but its amazing how often there's clear skies the next morning after a storm.

You're missing my point. Yes the runway conditions were the reason for the cancellations but if the airport had their shit together, more planes could've gotten out before it got so bad. It shouldn't take 1.5-2 hours after leaving gate-deice-runway.

At the time of the deicing, it wasnt sticking. I fly for work almost every week. There's usually 4-5 de-icers going. Dad said there were 2 and planes were lined up. Had their been more workers, planes wouldn't of sat for 2 hours waiting while the runways became hazardous. Easy with the name calling over the internet there tough guy.

My parents were on a flight to rsw around 5 when the snow began. They waited in line to de-ice for over an hour. They were just about to take off then they closed the runways. Airport closed, flights diverted, all hotels booked. Dad said he found a pretty comfy spot on a baggage claim ramp to sleep. Moral of story, nobody wants to work still and dtw can't find workers to de-ice.

Bummer. Luckily ive never lost power during a snowstorm, only when squirrels bite through the wires and cause themselves and the transformer to blow behind my house. Do you have an anker portable battery? That baby has saved me so many times.

Yea thats a good point. I think had i been here for that dec 22 event, id have more appreciation for it. Warmer temps, means more moisture. Like I've heard many times, you gotta smell the rain to get the big snows. Also it's been discussed but the lack of clippers has been weird but also we don't seem to cash in that well with better ratio snows and our bigger events happen with temps near 30.

Yea temps 5 degrees colder, this could've been the 20 inch big daddy. Still looks like 6-10 is attainable. Considering how shitty this winter has been, this will be the third event in about 40 days, 2 of which the area was bullseye for the deformation pivots which is rare around here. Never thought id be at the point in giving the winter a b- but my grade is less on snowcover/temps, and based more on 6+ events and more extreme weather.

It's mostly all fatties now, easily 3 inches an hour. Looks like the band may pivot for awhile. Lightning every few mins now. Definitly a once in 20yr or more storm.
