  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. For some reason I am not expecting much out of this storm. My guess is 2-3" for MBY.
  5. Awesome. Glad to hear you getting a better storm!!!
  6. Is this your biggest event for the winter?
  7. Best advisory ever for these type of systems!!
  8. Sorry but the general public is mostly laughing at the weather channel which forecast changes every 6 hours based off the GFS and you know it. Most of the public uses weather.com and NOT weather.gov to get there weather information. NWS does a hell of a good job!!
  9. I am kind of the opposite in that I would move to the UP / Keweenaw before moving to San Diego. If I was to move to to the SW I would choose Flagstaff AZ: lots of Sun, lots of snow, occasional monsoonal t-storms and not very hot.
  10. Many warm fronts get hung up around the MI boarder due to the Great Lakes. Indiana and Ohio will be 70s+ yet 40s/50s IMBY.
  11. March with a -NAO + -AO so some suppression is not unexpected.
  12. When I got home they said they got the same as you mentioned. Got lucky to be in work today as normal I don't go in on Mondays
  13. I am in Farmington MI right now for work. Snow flakes are monsters at 2-3" diameter snow flakes.
  14. If it continues to be active with big storms then no problem, let's do it. If it is just going to be cold suppression then forgetaboutit!!
  15. There is a better chance they hold with the Great Lakes temps above normal but a cold spring would negate it. We'll see!?!
  16. My neighbors car canopy collapsed last night. We were surprised as it was relatively new.
  17. Ended up with 12". It was a great storm. We just spent the past 5 hours outside playing, shoveling and did a 4 mile snow walk. Now it is time to rest.
  18. 01-02 was a horrible winter and IMO much worse than this one. The 80s and 90s had some dreadful ones too. This winter (while lousy for cold) is definitely not in my bottom 5.
  19. I have been at 31F imby most of the event. It did help as snow basically accumulated immediately. I agree with a B/B - grade. The only issue I had was the constant major meltdowns which made skiing horrible around here.
  20. Lightning and Thunder ... 1/4 mile visibility.
  21. Sometimes you have to smell the rain to get the best snows!!
  22. Definitely not many at all Plus by the time we start getting the storm it feels like half the people on the forums are talking about the next storm
  23. Fun has finally begun here. Sometimes it is hard to be one of the most northern posters (Outflow I know is even further north of me).
  24. Some models have more snow in Jackson than AA. Being in between mean you could be in that sweet spot OHweather mentioned.
