    Morning will be fun playing with the snowblower in the drifts and trying to get a measurement.

    Its at least 1" an hour. You don't need ANY snowfall to make blizzard conditions. We had near 0.1 mile visibility on February 4th with 2-3"/hr rates in a band...with very little wind, blizzard conditions never crossed my mind. Tonight definitely is blizzard conditions. Honestly, I prefer straight down snow over blizzard conditions however they are definitely fun.

    blizzard conditions outside. stormy, blowing, drifting. Will be fun to wake up in the morning.

    Conditions are brutal outside, blizzardy with drifting snow everywhere. The only downfall is it is a powder snow and not a fluff bomb so QPF will likely verify but the 20:1 ratios will not
  5. michsnowfreak
    Definitely accumulating fast but it's more powdery than fluffy so not sure how high the ratios will end up being

    The main wave has begun! 2" this morning,.so pumped for tonight.

    Thanks! I'd argue 2014 seemed more impressive because it was a constant assault of wind compressing and drifting the snow. the actual piles and drifts were more impressive and of course lasted much longer.

    DTX has finally upgraded to a warning, saying additional 6-9" on top of what falls today (generally 1-2 area wide).
  9. michsnowfreak
    It will also depend how much settling there is. Either way, great week!

    Deep snow watch in effect. Could see very impressive depth friday morning if Thursday pans out. Peak snow depth at DTW since 2000.. 2019-20: 9" 2018-19: 5" 2017-18: 14" 2016-17: 9" 2015-16: 5" 2014-15: 18" 2013-14: 20" 2012-13: 6" 2011-12: 5" 2010-11: 16" 2009-10: 10" 2008-09: 14" 2007-08: 9" 2006-07: 8" 2005-06: 7" 2004-05: 12" 2003-04: 5" 2002-03: 9" 2001-02: 8" 2000-01: 12"

    snow depths will be fantastic
  12. michsnowfreak
    we will easily see 2"+with the first wave alone. 1.7 as of 10 mins ago....I suspect we see a storm total of 10" or so by tmrw morning.
  13. michsnowfreak
    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
  14. 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.
  15. michsnowfreak
    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
  16. michsnowfreak
    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.
  17. michsnowfreak
    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.
  18. michsnowfreak
    Probably not. We all know how they are with warnings lol.
  19. michsnowfreak
    There are plenty of posters on this board from the Columbus, Cleveland, and Toronto areas. Some Buffalo too.
  20. michsnowfreak
    It's not going to avoid the Great Lakes region
  21. michsnowfreak
    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.
  22. michsnowfreak
    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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.

    Hows TWC doing on their Feb grade?
