Lightning

No worries here. I got a big 'L' right on top of MBY.

What are the current numbers?

I have seen many April winter weather events (Quick 3 of the top of my head ... Major Ice followed by 7" of snow April 2003, 15" April 2005 and 9" April 2009). It is common to see flakes fly into early May in MBY. I always warn people who get excited about an early April warm up and tell them: "Do not to forget they live in MI. Let's get to May 10th and then we should be safe from snow until October. If we are lucky we will be done with snow well before May 10th."

I am not looking forward to this weekend being cold and snowless

Cherry picking data.

Wow some area's got 40'+!! ... try 40"+ This area is just too far disconnected from the Oceans to get those type of totals outside LES belts.

I don't see this coming far enough south to be any help for us other than a mild 50F rain(with possible Thunder) to a cold 35F rain (miserable). I prefer the possibility of thunder at this point But yes I agree there has been a very noticeable south trends (with slight north bump right at the endgame).

We have a pretty solid snow look here. 4-8" on the ground (a bit less in the blowing and more in drift areas of course). We still have a few inches from the big dog (never lost it all) in many areas. In fact there is still some sleet from the sleet fest storm in shaded areas. If you got ride of all the melting I would have a good 20" on the ground since the second ice storm.

Throwback. I was cleaning up some old links. Who remembers this one.

Past couple days have exceeded my expectations. Looks like mid-Winter (should have looked) outside!!

I would love to have a fun Severe Weather season; we'll see!

Very interesting situation for you coming up for March as Superior is WIDE open. Big storm and followed by lots of LES. Could be good times!!

It will be interesting to see how this sets up. I would not be surprised if there is a 4-6" narrow path. Mostly 1-2" otherwise.

I agree with 86% so far the biggest knock on this the warmth. Ski conditions were miserable on the local hills. It's pretty amazing how many positives this winter has had considered how above normal the temps have been.

Wow. Beautiful morning here good 2" of snow that I wasn't expecting

That's the spirit

Agreed as I just love lightning streaks, thunder and heavy rain. Damaging winds and hail (unless pea sized or less) are not necessary for me!!

Awesome. You definitely did better then MBY We got about 4" but the March sun angle has done it's damage quickly. All I had to do is walk on my asphalt slightly exposing the blacktop and within 2-3 hours the driveway snow turned into water . I did have to shovel other areas with concrete though.

Wouldn't mind repeating 2021 as it was one of my best thunderstorm filled summer.

Well at least we don't have to shovel

Same thing happens when there are nocturnal t-storms that develop in IA/WI and coming in from the west like this (we get the remnants). They just tend to peak to our west and as the continue to move into and drier and more stable environment it loses the intensity it used to have. This is why I did not have high expectations for this event. If the much deeper low pressure model solutions (995-1000mb), from 3-5 days would have occurred, then it would have been much better for us as the dynamics would have helped overcome the drier/stable environment much better.

What did you get with the prolonged Christmas event? We had good 8" on the ground on Christmas day (of course it was very windy so 4"-12" spread with 2-3' drifts). Update on this storm IMBY: Took my dog for a walk around 7AM and the flake size increased significantly (dime => quarter) so now we have over 3". It was an awesome hour dog walk in the best snowfall rates here. Flake size is dropping off now. So it looks like end up with 4" maybe a bit more. Good enough for me as this means this winter I am now right about average for snowfall.

1.5" here so far with 2-3" call looking good for MBY as radar is slowly decreasing in intensity. I am glad I didn't have high expectations with this system as many recent model runs had it peaking west of here. I am good with GRR area getting the higher totals.

For some reason I am not expecting much out of this storm. My guess is 2-3" for MBY.

Awesome. Glad to hear you getting a better storm!!!
