Well, we could certainly use another poster up this way. Nearby neighbor.

Read my PM. Edit: Here's my PM maybe you didnt get it. Hey if I remember correctly the Munising Observer is actually quite a few miles west of town. Munising I guess is just a close by reference point. Like the Grand Marais observer is 10 miles south of GM. I think that explains your depth irregularity.

0100 PM SNOW 4 NE NEGAUNEE 46.53N 87.55W 02/23/2022 M2.0 INCH MARQUETTE MI OFFICIAL NWS OBS SINCE 7 AM. BRINGS STORM TOTAL TO 37.1 INCHES.

Am concerned for the little doe that stayed behind this season. Haven't seen her or any tracks in a couple days. Poor thing is only around 30" tall at the shoulder. I fear she will freeze and starve to death or be coyote/wolf food. Maybe she got some sense and split but I don't think so. Think i'll put on the snow shoes and head out back and see if I can spot any sign of her.

Man it sure has been a rough few seasons in NW lower and it sucs because that area has so much potential to deliver incredible snow. I believe it has to flip at some point. Interesting you mention the trusses. I pulled down the attic stairs in the garage and my contractor and I went up, and he showed how there was very little pressure on the trusse braces. You could pound on them with your fist and get some flimsy movement showing they're not stressed at all. I'm ecstatic, while I love snow, shoveling a roof isn't on my list fun things, I just always felt I needed to do it. I'm officially a yooper lol

I love small north woods towns. Very picturesque.

I'm suddenly enjoying it a whole lot more. The contractor that's working on the inside of my new poll barn chuckled when he saw me up on the roof and said I was wasting my time and not to worry about clearing the snow. Houses here can take the weight he said. I've cleared around the chimney stack and when the snow melts this Spring, he's gonna add a 4' piece of stove pipe to extend it past the roof peak so I don't have to dick with this every year. Made my day. woo hoo!

What's the depth over in Au Train?

Even more pronounced here in Marquette County. I'm a little over 1600' here and only 7 miles from the lake. The prevailing winds favor the Keweenaw most of the time tho. The brightest white is 1800-1900 feet.

I'm not sure exactly, I'll have to do some digging but mostly average to below. Last year was horrible, barely made it to 150".

Here's some pics I shared in the lakes forum this morning

It's been a great season up here that's for sure. As of this morning MQT has 42" otg and a season total of 168"... I'm around 190" and a depth right around 50" What will March bring?

A few quick pics and then back at it.

Guzzling coffee then heading out.

You would be in heaven here. Another 8" overnight bringing my total to around 40". Mqt had an additional 8.5" last night bringing their storm total to 35.9". My snow depth is definitely over 50". It blew and drifted enough that all my work on the roof was erased. starting from scratch again. MQT also set a snow record yesterday with 21.6", an all time single day February record. Snow trying to wind down.

It's a lot of work and takes up a lot of time, yes. I enjoy being out in the snow so it's not so bad. I've been slacking the past couple weeks with a stubborn cold and am paying the price now. Edit: This was meant to be in response to Cary67.

Don't remind me. As of 7pm MQT has received 27.1 inches (1.75 liquid, roughly 15:1 ratios) since the first flakes started to fly late Sunday night, and they increased their depth by 20" to 38". I estimate I've had 31-32" and probably have an average depth of 45-48". Hard to say because both of my 60" NWS snow stakes have drifted and been covered completely. Still snowing at a nice clip and could see another 5 or 6 inches by morning... then clean up which will take me a couple days at least.

haha! Someone on the board posted a week or so ago that there is no such thing as too much snow. I'm not so sure bout that. Calling it a day. It's impossible to be up on the roof in this, it's getting dark and I don't want to fall or get hurt. Tackle it after the storm.

K, this is getting out of hand. I bet there's been 6 or 7 additional inches today. Totally my fault. I should have cleared the roof ahead of this since it already had over 2' but I didn't really think it would be this bad. I'll be shoveling snow well after dark.

Better late than never. Winter wx advys across the w into the n central have been upgraded to winter storm warnings, Alger added as well. Winter wx advys have been posted for the areas that were not in any headline. Next wave of pcpn has been increasing in coverage/intensity as it lifts ne toward Upper MI. All of the models have a signal for a 2-5hr period of mdt/hvy pcpn, beginning in the next few hrs. With bands of mdt/hvy LES already streaming onshore into Baraga and especially Marquette counties, the addition of healthy forcing/mdt to hvy synoptic snow will result in several hrs of very hvy snowfall from Baraga County to western Alger County, but particularly focused in the high terrain of Marquette County. Should be able to easily tack on another foot+ this aftn/tonight.

I am, trust me! But it won't stop snowing

Birds were begging for seed. Can't keep it full. Totally buried up here. What I'll do with another foot plus idk...lol The little round hole in the snow is my chimney. It was still exposed yesterday around dark. There's a hollow cove all around the stack. Can't let the fire go out or I'm screwed. Definitely need to do some snow removal on the roof.

Every time I woke up and looked out the window during the night it was just pouring snow. I'd say 10-12" inches fell overnight on top of the 10" yesterday and it's still snowing. There is literally no good place to measure, the snow is so deep and drifted. The WWA says another 12-16 is possible. So the models predicting the 3 feet totals are likely going to be pretty close.. I'll share a few pics after coffee.

I'd estimate 10" has fallen since 7am, maybe even a little more. The enhancement off the lake was heavy most of the day but has become a little more squally this evening as the first wave departs. Seeing reports in the general area of 9-12". 0Z models indicate upwards of 18+ inches of additional snow possible in my neck of the woods by 12Z Wednesday. Safe to say at least another foot is likely. Current temp of 14 is the high.

Houghton area def sees some wild weather. I remember a few years ago Alyssa (formerly Will) who is a poster here from Calumet had something like 36" overnight with a Bayfield Bomber.
