Heavy lake effect snow, 14 degrees.  Have easily picked up a foot of snow since Friday midnight-ish when rain changed over, then a lull from mid-afternoon yesterday to just before 11 last night and it's been snowing since.

As of 7am MQT was at 8.2" and have to be nearing a foot by now.

Some other notable totals:

Ontonagon 15.4"

Painsdale 15.5"

Twin Lakes 17.2"

Ironwoood 21.3"

Looks like my garden shed has lost its structural integrity under the weight of the snow.

Rain held on til somewhere midnight-ish.  I fell asleep around 11 and it was raining, woke up at 1:30 to go to bed and it was snowing.  Have picked up 4.5" of really wet paste...a lull in activity now with just light snow and flurries but snow will increase again later today with a foot possible in this local area before things end.

Temp is 37/dp 31.4.  Will be all rain here until late evening at least.

If the forecast verifies, this'll be a nice event for the northern counties in the UP.

NWS Duluth's take on snow totals today. South Shore will do well, but I'm thinking the North Shore will only just make min guidance here, my gut anyway. 6-8" would be just fine with me. Starting as rain, and slowly transitioning to snow is a big factor, combined with increasing N winds bringing loads of dry air. Guess we shall see. Event starts tonight.

Over here, the 12z Euro and GFS verbatim are predicting 18 and 17" as opposed to 37 and 48" 24 hours ago. Still respectable but can't say I'm surprised by the reduction in totals.  And it's probably not done.

Looks like a beautiful day on tap here to do some chores outside, then head down to town and pick up a few things before the storm arrives.
Looking like a doozy with up to 30” by Saturday 8 am and still snowing.

Might have jumped the gun on this one.  12z models so far do not look good.  Hi-res even looks horrible if you're wanting an epic storm up here.  Oh well, tbh, I'd rather not have the headache of 2-3 feet right now.

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!! 

Cautiously excited.  Am also a little concerned about the snow load with a storm of this potential magnitude, especially with rain as the initial precip.  I was feeling so good about not shoveling the roof this winter.

Snow still flying this afternoon with the advisory extended until 11 pm.

If referring to @Hoosier yeah. Got banned. All the disco wrt can be seen in the banter thread over the past couple weeks.

Maybe he's referring to palm boy.

Snow continues to fall heavy at times.  Looks like it may take a tad longer to clear out than I figured.  2 inches shy of 4' otg, with the piles over 6'.
Watching late week storm for 2-3' more as things look now.  The most snow I've ever seen otg here is 63".

Snow still falling as the last of lake enhanced snow moves through between now and noon.  Including yesterday and last night, 6.5-7" has fallen here.  Snow stake out front is measuring 44" this morning.

Lake band moved in, and it snowing baby. Vis 2 blocks, a little less on the wind. Awesome  

Update: very heavy snow, and down to 1 block or less. OH YEAH!!

webcams in Duluth are pretty impressive as that band slides through.

Up to 11 inches in the forecast by noon tomorrow and not even a SPS for the boonies.

70's then snowed the next day

Thought things were winding down earlier but terrain/lake enhancement has kept moderate snow falling.  Up to 7 inches now.  As of 5 pm MQT had a recorded 5.9", a record for the day.

Deep late winter snowpack in place 

System performed as expected here.  Forecast was for 6 inches and i'd say it's snowed 5 since around 6 am with things beginning to wind down.  High temp was 30.

Hey, thanks!

Chickens are fine, all 16 have stayed laying throughout winter. They're just rowdy and pissy, wanting spring like most of us.

Not so quick, however.  Looks like another wet snow moves in starting tonight with 8 inches forecast for a small sliver through my neck of the woods.

switched from rain to snow in Warsaw, Indiana in just the past few minutes.

Snowing nice.

At least you got ease of mind when it comes to the heavy snow on the roof. If I remember, someone showed you the weight distribution was good to go, and no worries last year. Any issue with ice damming along the eaves?

No shoveling roofs this winter, and my house is nicely insulated so I don't have any major ice issues either.  The wood stove stack does create a little bit but it's never been a problem... so far.

Should I receive another heavy snow, I may pull some off the edge.

Indoor chickens it is.

The girls are NOT happy.   They're starting to pick fights with each other. I'm gonna dig out their run today so they can get some fresh air and sun.

Me thinking I could raise chickens in the UP

18z euro?

7.5 inches of snow late yesterday and through the night.  That brings the 8 day total here to 42 inches and the season total around 200 inches.

Trixie's entire account was deleted late Friday night by a vengeful admin.  In response a mod went and retroactively suspended/banned a slew of posters for things deemed offensive in the past.  According to some a good chunk of this board is apparently bigoted, sexist, racist, and homophobic assholes.
