It would not surprise me to see this on the upper Mississippi River basis and all the local rivers that feed into it. The snowpack is there and still a month or more of snow. If we end up having a wet stormy spring it definitely concerns me for major flooding. Ground is getting more saturated by the day. Back in 2019 I went to Winfield MO to volunteer and sandbag because I have family not far from there. Crazy how powerful that river is and seeing the water lines in Alton IL of the 93 flood and seeing the 2019 one only a couple feet away was chilling. I hope for a gradual warm up into spring

Can see the next band about to rotate thru here soon

A nice snow band moving thru downriver now

Sir Trainee reports as ordered (snaps too) looks like a nice wrapped up storm for sure. It’s great to be in an active stretch

I upgrade this winter from a 82.5% to 86% I’m very pleased thus far. And the warm spells make it easier to work outside so all in all a good winter and still trending up for my final grade in about a month

As I always say the sun has to shine of the dogs ass at some point

Exactly. Some of my favorite types of storms are training events when they just keep redeveloping right over you

Our squall line will happen sooner or later. One day we all will be waking up over SE mich with a derecho on our doorsteps as ALEK has alluded

Pines look beautiful. Got lighter in rates but working outside I’m okay with that. I got 4.2” with some compacting going on here on the SW side of riverview

Random question. Is it a good idea to do the skywarn class to become a spotter/observer?

Good amount of snow on these lines now starting to cause some tension

First pic today. Near my job site looking south down the Detroit river

I’m in woodhaven now and I can say it’s about the same. Can’t wait to go to the woods for some pics. I agree something about waking up to a winter wonderland brings the kid out in us

I’m going to be downriver today by some wood areas so I’m excited to get some good ones too! Hope you got to enjoy last week on your trip up here

It’s coming down pretty good. Going to be cool riding into work today. I’ll have some good pics in a few hours when I’m at my job site. Glad this one had less of a wind factor in it

Pick your poison

Reminds me when I was in Missouri a few years ago in April for a couple months. One day it hit 90 and I got a light sunburn. Has severe storms that night and 28 hours after it hit 90 it was 29 with a snow shower. Made me grateful for the big lakes around me

I hope you guys get hit this time and not just DTW to the north. Definitely spread the wealth around

What will be the replacement for those models? Any good reading I can do?

Hopefully laying off the wind this time

4-6 so it can pave my driveway without it costing me 1000s

That’s a thought I’m sure a lot of us over here have. Lakes will probably be warmer then average and one serious round of storms during the evening will definitely cause issues. Also we are overdue for a big derecho. I remember being a kid during the 99,04 derechos was gnarly experience. Some other great storms have come thru but nothing of the caliber of those storms if I remember correctly in terms of forward propagating mcs or mcv

Damn that’s not good to hear but one of many stories I’m hearing right now. I feel for those that were out a second time. Only benefit this go around is wind will be less but on the contrary more wet accumulation past a certain point is not good either. Wyandotte electric excluded, DTE apperently going to spend a couple bill more over the next 5 years. If I get my overtime back I’ll know that they are serious about maintenance

Sidewalk was overtopped yesterday
