    Hey all. Snow is done, estimate 31-33 inches fell... power still out. It's going to take me all day to clear snow. I'm not gonna wait and let it melt because it will settle and refreeze tonight (and make it even tougher to remove), and I need to be able to get out if I have to. Not that it matters much now because I wouldn't be able to go far. Just some pics from around the house... most y'all are familiar with these shots... but it is remarkable to see in May. And this was probably the second best storm of the season and pushes me very close to the 300 inch mark.

    Pines are caked because the snow started briefly as rain and coated them but the winds gusting into the 40's here in the higher terrain really helped to keep the snow from accumulating on hardwoods... thankfully. Will post some pics after I coffee up and get outside. Gonna be a long day. The denseness and depth of this snow is at the top end of what my equipment is designed for. I purchased a new Kubota tractor last week with a commercial blower but delivery isn't until next week. go fig.

    Completely blizzard-like buried. Guessing somewhere around 30" has fallen. No power for 16 hours but geni is keeping the two freezers, fridge, and a few lights going and that's it. Roads are not passable and the power and plow trucks are reporting getting stuck. STILL snowing!

    Left the snow stick in the drive and it's measuring 18 inches now. The snow is so dense it's blue, and point has another 17" between tonight and tomorrow with several more possible today as an uptick in rates, possibly the heaviest of the storm coming this afternoon... some crazy shit up here.

    If counting Saturday night. It's accumulating rapidly today, way more than I'd expect for May 1st. Likely over 2' will have fallen by late afternoon.

    Just measured this on my driveway which was back to asphalt yesterday after 2.5" of snow night before last. MQT as of 7 am had 10.5" with 2.00 liquid, so ratios running just over 5:1.

    It has literally been pound town for about 13 hours now with in excess of a foot of snow. Remarkably power is still on but has been flashing. Another 24 hours of snow with 20" in the point yet to fall. This could be the densest snow I've ever witnessed.

    House sits right about 1620' What's interesting is the enhancement with this storm will be from the persistent upslope northerly flow with no actual "lake" enhancement. If this were 6 weeks ago, I can't even imagine. The bolded also has my attention. Could be some crazy surprise totals since their snow forecast map is an actual copy and paste of the 18z model blend. Moderate to heavy snow will be ongoing across much of the interior west by Monday morning. Surface low will deepen to sub 980 mb during the day Monday as it rotate westward to near Drummond Island. With the very slow movement and off the charts moisture availability from the Gulf and Atlantic, the western U.P. will be in the comma head for an extended period of time. While 85H temperatures will not be cold enough for lake enhancement, thank goodness, persistent upslope flow with northerly winds will maximize precipitation over the highest terrain. Models are in consensus with widespread 2 to 5 inch qpf amounts with locally higher amounts expected over the Huron Mountains. The NAM Nest depiction of 8.5 inches of qpf and 85 inches of snow is clearly overdone, but its scary to see a model solution like that at this close of a time range.

    Nam NOT backing down on snow or qpf. This could be one for the books. Weenie flag flying.

    Been snowing since about 2 am. WPC and models both indicate the possibility of up to 3 feet of snow right around here with 5+ inches of qpf. Heading to town for geni gas because I can see where this is headed.

    A little concerned...will do the usual preparations for a big dog but def not looking forward to flooding and tree damage. The road between here and cr 510 is already in bad shape due to washouts and erosion with the heavy rain and rapid melt already seen. Seasonal snow still otg here too. Very slow to melt with the high water content this year. this morning in front of my house:

    This is the forecast through 8 pm Monday from NWS and also from the local met for the total event, and for fun the 18z gfs

    Even tho this would be one heck of a stat padder, I honestly would prefer rain.

    3.6 inches at MQT(.46 liquid) which is a record for the date. Close to same here with .51 liquid. Wet and at times very snowy weekend into early week looking likely. MQT is now at 236.4"... a few other notable places: Bergland Damn 239.9" Herman 255.5" Calumet 265.4" Ironwood 237.4" Munising 215.1"

    Trust me. This is not what I wanted to wake up to. Last year in late May, did some excellent morel hunting in the far southern part of the UP just north of Menominee... driving down back roads you could see their golden heads in the sun, poking up through the grass in ditches. Easiest pickins ever. Not to mention the wild Asparagus.

    Measured 3” on the grill and still coming down. Should reach 50 today and melt, however, heavier snow possible this weekend.

    or palms

    It's spring fed from deep below the soil but flows seasonally in the Fall and of course the spring melt. Becomes swampy in the Summer and even dry at times.

    Saw them only once the years I lived in N Indiana but they seem pretty common up this way.

    This year frost was only 10” in snow covered areas. Some years it’s feet thick. Just depends when the deep snow hits. There are weight and speed restrictions on the county roads now for the deep frost but even that isn’t too deep this year with the mild winter and warmth early.

    Off and on snow/rain mix yesterday, and some flurries today. Nothing substantial. Northern lights are incredible tonight. Posted by MQT WFO.

    A clear and calm 27... beautiful view the moon and venus in the west sky tonight as the northern lights begin to faintly dance around. Smell of wood smoke and the sound of distant coyotes yippin. Doesn't get much better.

    Looks like snow will be gone a tad sooner this year (maybe another week) thanks to the crazy week of warmth, I can't imagine how long it'd have hung around if this had been a typical April. Cool one today with a high of 34 forecast but at least the uprising and violence in the coop is under control now that the ladies are able to roam, scratch around, eat worms. Thankfully they'll shit more outside too. winter coop duty- not fun. remaining snowpack
  24. weatherbo
    That’s usually about the time most of the remaining snow is gone around here.

    everything has a price. patience is key. April is a wintry month up here.
