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.
-
Wow legit cloud to ground lightning and fatties falling now. As ron burgundy says, what a Rollercoaster of emotions
-
It's never easy but hey atleast I got to see some heavy snow for a few hours.
-
I'm in central macomb and there's definitly sleet mixing in cutting down accumulations. I think areas a lil further west are seeing the fatties.
-
You're further east into Ontario, the snow was modeled to stop pretty much near the can border.
-
Is that yellow banding on the radar south of Detroit sleet mixing in?
-
Save that sws, it'll be 10 years before you see wording like that again.
-
Detroit gonna avoid the slot and stay in the pivot? Gonna be close for the east side. This is probably the most intense storm I've seen in awhile. Heavy bands with legit wind. It's top shelf nasty out.
-
-
Gfs continues to show 15+ blobs over macomb and a few other areas.
-
Gfs has has 3 str8 runs of a 17+ bullseye over my parents house in macomb, while other models have the banding just a little to the west. The gfs has been the most consistent with this so hoping it's right.
-
Josh got his lucky snow pile shovel magnet out and reeling this baby in.
-
Still pretty big differences between gfs/Canadian/euro for dtw. Gfs/Canada is good. Euro/ukmet went nw on tonight's runs. Guess it's now cast time. I'd guess the bigger totals will be nw of detroit, although it's hard to go against the gfs as it's been more consistent than the euro
-
Howell would be a good place to be. Wouldn't doubt if the bands end up further nw than modeled.
