    Use this afternoon's forecast as an example. Yet another winter weather advisory issued. Must be the 10th one this winter lol. Even with their lowball forecast of nearly 8" of snow for Detroit they are still going advisory over warning
  2. michsnowfreak
    They do this all the time and I don't understand why. They are notorious for lowballing, both DTX and GRR. They are so advisory happy all the time. Grand Rapids is actually even worse. They get a wind blowing off Lake Michigan and theyre issuing an advisory for an inch of Lake effect snow, then they get a storm to drop 8" of snow they also issue an advisory.

    lol DTX going advisory from midnight tonight thru noon Tuesday with 1-2 tonight/tmrw morning plus 3-6 tmrw night/tues morning. So essentially an advisory for 4-8". God forbid there's that break in the snow lol, I have seen East Coast cities consider 3 and 4 day snow totals 1 "storm" despite full 24 hour breaks of nothing. We will see what they say in the morning

    Or they would issue a tropical storm warning for like a cat 3 hurricane and then upgrade to hurricane warning the last 2 or 3 hours of the storm.

    DTX is gun shy about everything. I can't count over the years how many warning criteria snowfalls either had an advisory or an advisory where they upgraded to a warning the last hour or 2 of the storm lol. Last warning was 1-18-20. Should have had a warning 2-26-20. That said nothing has been really warning criteria this season, just lots of advisories. Could almost argue for a snow squall warning over advisory for the insane band 2-4-21.

    Probably not. We all know how they are with warnings lol.

    There are plenty of posters on this board from the Columbus, Cleveland, and Toronto areas. Some Buffalo too.

    It's not going to avoid the Great Lakes region

    Wait til.....tomorrow. it's a winter wonderland outside but beneath the glistening snow it's probably like a 7 layer cake lol. layer after layer of compressed light snowfalls.

    Trends have been great for SE MI. North trends seem to be the theme this year. Snow depth could really be something by Friday if these next 2 produce. Current depth in SE MI ranges from 5-9" however outside of the top fluffy layer from yesterday its a pretty solid depth. Layer upon layer of light snows have settled/compressed so it's like walking in frozen sugary sand.
  11. michsnowfreak
    omg! Crazy difference from the Michigan side. Snow depth in the Detroit area ranges from 5-9" currently. I have about 6" on the ground after settling/compacting. You should do well this week.
  12. michsnowfreak
    Finish with 1.5" of snow here, bit of drifting with it too. The snowpack keeps staying fresh and sparkly, that's for sure. DTW also 1.5". Another general 1-3" in SE MI.
  13. michsnowfreak
    Hows TWC doing on their Feb grade?
  14. michsnowfreak
    Definitely well below normal temperatures here, but nothing really impressive. Just cold with frequent but light snow.
  15. michsnowfreak
    My favorite line was in the Dallas Winter storm warning, drifts may exceed 7" lol. I don't think I've ever seen something like that in a warning. Definitely an unprecedented event for that area
  16. michsnowfreak
    Plumes are 10:1ratio I would not worry about them. Really hoping one of these 2 events dumps a good amount. If not at least we have a good snowpack, It seems we should get at least something from both of them
  17. michsnowfreak
    I am always very leery of ratios however I have to say some of the kuchera maps for this event are crazy High ratio snow
  18. michsnowfreak
    More glittery light snow. Snowpack is definitely stayed fresh lol
  19. michsnowfreak
    Thanks. While there's obviously still a month of snow potential at that time, it's getting into spring. So once we get into the beginning of the next Winter season I am sure we will have a whole bunch of new cold season biases to get used to, whatever they may be.
  20. michsnowfreak
    So is the gfs Para now the GFS?
  21. michsnowfreak
    As long as we wait til Monday I don't care who starts it lol.
  22. michsnowfreak
    It's pretty close. So far for winter Dallas is only running 18.4° warmer than Detroit, 31 days less 1"+ snowcover, and 26.1" less snow. Both places have a cold snowy week ahead.
  23. michsnowfreak
    lmao I was going to say the same thing, I'll allow you to do it but please for the love of the models, at least wait until it's 5 days out.
  24. michsnowfreak
    If I were you I would stay home all week lol. Clearly people there do not know how to handle winter. That said it'll be an incredible week. Dallas has not even seen a 1" snowfall in 6 years and they will have a few day stretch of legit northern winter conditions.
  25. michsnowfreak
    This is horrifying. I do not understand why people that live in an area that rarely sees any Winter weather think its ok to drive posted speeds.
