  1. Nice video of the hail. Don't mind missing out on damage. Just crazy though to go all the way from Iowa and die a few miles away MBY.
  2. It's hard not to get caught up in the moment when chasing! Glad to see it was just car damage and you are ok!!! Cars can be fixed.
  3. The remnants are of course going right over MBY. Getting strong winds with gusts 35-45mph.
  4. When I lived in Houghton off Lake Superior we had as variety of results due to Lake Superior influence.
  5. 1" will do some damage. How did it turn out for you? Those storms are moving fast.
  6. Really makes sense. Day 2 events are so dependent around here on what happens during Day 1 to the west. Seen way to many Day 2 events be nothing more a windy rain shower without even thunder. Even the SPC noted the Great Lakes could impact it: It remains unclear what effect the cooler marine layer from Lake Michigan has on adjacent coastal areas, particularly into portions of western Michigan.
  7. I was mostly annoyed by the drought that was centered in my area and lasted about 15 months IMBY (I had 15 months of below to very much below precip IMBY). Good part was I only had to cut the lawn a total of 6 times all last summer (most of the time it was to take down the weeds). Bad part was I lost a lot of my good lawn (I don't water since I have well water and lots of land ... not gonna happen). It is nice to finally be above normal again
  8. Drove across the state this weekend in southern Michigan. West of 131 was the worst but everywhere the rivers are bank full/ must over bank full. Water everywhere that is for sure. My lake finally is flowing over the dam (like it is supposed to) for the first time since last May.
  9. March 31st my last bit of snow/ice IMBY melted away with all the rain/storms. Okay time for full spring weather
  10. Happens to me all the time. Best storms seem to hit MBY when I am on vacation. Like you say it can be unnerving when something major is happening at you house and all you can look at really is radar. I ended up taking all the trees near my house out so I didn't have to be concern about a tree falling on my house when gone.
  11. What if it is still snowing in Saukville?
  12. I am considering going to Indy then. Yeah the clouds have been a problem for us with Auroras. Sadly the clear nights with possible Auroras have underperformed.
  13. Up until yesterday we still had a good 25% of the area with few inches of snow cover but the yesterdays rain and warmth now has it to just a few strongly shaded areas and of course piles that have snow remaining.
  14. I was bummed to that it was cloudy last night. As you say there should be more opportunity coming!!
  15. There has been a bit of a SE trend. I wouldn't be surprised. Lots of storms along the front in the OV. The warmth typically struggles to get as far north in March and April. We'll see but I would not be surprised if there is a bit of a SE trend.
  16. Going to go all the way down the Keys this September (anniversary) ... hopefully no Cane.
  17. One can only hope but there are many times those warm fronts get caught up around I96. Those wonderful days of where it is 70+ in AA and 40s in Fenton. If I were to get t-storms out of it then no complaints but they usually pop along the MI boarder to my south. As Powerball said sounds like typical MI Spring!!
  18. Next couple weeks look miserable. Thunderstorm south and snow north with MBY being the chllly snizzle zone.
  19. Heavy rain with storms to the south and east. Heavy snow to the north and west. Basically dry slotted IMBY I will pass on this storm
  20. My area gets a good amount of LES. Coming from Macomb county and moving to Livingston County it is night and day with LES!! It has a lot to do with the hills from Ann Arbor to Lapeer as there are many times we do better than Lansing were it is flat. Flint doesn't do as well either as it flat around there too but the it does better than Detroit.
  21. Actually did rather well for March and lake effect. We had a 30 minute squall go through just before lunch that put a 1.5-2". Ground was completely white again. March Sun came out for a bit and started doing its dirty work even though it is only 21F. Now getting a bunch of intense snow showers which a couple have put down a quick 1/4"-1/2". It is cold out there.
  22. Fun times. It makes me happy to see Superior snow!!!
  23. Kind of funny, as this year could challenge 13-14. That year was basically opposite with temperatures.
