@SteboAny chance we see derecho type activity over southern MI? The setup reminds me a lot of 5/31/98. I'd hate to have that roll through at 3am instead of 7am.

Found the deepest "drift" in my yard...4 inches. Surrounded by maybe a half inch with grass sticking out. Winds never got over 35 here. This might be the biggest disappointment I've had out of all the SEMI busts. Just enough to turn the roads to garbage and not even enough for a real white Christmas.

My grass is still poking through the snow in Macomb Township.

The entire winter 2013-2014 was incredible. If I recall correctly we didn't have a high above freezing from late January through April. I had snow cover in my yard from New Year's through the last week of April and some of the parking lots had snowpiles until the end of May.

I feel like no one in Michigan has it worse than Macomb County, and Macomb Township in particular. Shelby Township can get 8", Mt. Clemens can get 8", and we'll get 3". Then it melts. We've had one 10"+ snowfall since 2014, IIRC. I'm just happy for a white Christmas.

The UKMET track swinging it south and probably back around to Florida is interesting, in a slapstick "Coyote getting repeatedly hit by boulders while chasing Roadrunner" kind of way. A cursory glance through historical track records seems to indicate that has never occurred, so it seems unlikely. Hopefully it follows the set of tracks that show it landfalling and then shooting into the Atlantic.

Give it 20 years and Florida will have hurricanes and unlivable wet bulb temperatures!

I vote we rename this thread the "StantonParkHoya Tropical Update Thread", and every post must be about predicted impacts to his zip code.

Just based on how stubborn this storm is, I fully expect Ian to crawl up to a low-end Cat 2 before it makes landfall again. Or maybe just start doing donuts around Florida.

We've been getting good snow since pretty much 3pm.

Well, already got about 4 inches in my yard with about 4-6 hours of snow to go. First decent snow event for me in a long time.

I've been getting steady snow for almost an hour now, but it's mostly tiny flakes with some snowglobe snow mixed in.

Got a really nice set of layers in my yard, ice, then sleet, now the snow is starting and rates are picking up. Hopefully I don't kill myself walking over to the school to pick my kids up.

Very much looking forward to someone 10 miles north of me or 10 miles south of me getting a good 6+ inches. The only nine incher I'll have to worry about anytime soon is the one I can't talk about in public.

I picked up another half inch or so today, perfect sledding topper. I'm around 4.5-5 total in my yard for both days. When I cleared my driveway there was about a quarter inch layer of snow so compacted that it basically welded itself to my driveway.
