That's nuts... I've followed him since I was like 15. His snow depth even in Lake Linden was always Impressive. Usually peaked in March, and was at the most 4'. I know his newer location is much better than Lake Linden. I see extreme snow depth differences between here and Marquette, as well, so yeah. Full sun and a high of 31 today caused the snow pack here to shrink a couple inches... stake is reading 54" before the storm. I'm thinking you will get your blizzard warning you're wanting.

How far is John Den from you? I was thinking less than 10 miles, but I'm not positive. His stats as of today are nowhere near 300", neither am I. Snow Data as of 9 am February 22, 2019 New snow in the past 24 hours: 0.5″ Snow on the Ground: 47″ Season Total to Date: 214.5″

LOL. I have no idea how much snow it would take to reach a 90" depth. If models are correct, I could see having a depth of 70", maybe.... 12z NAM crushes here.

woo hoo! Winter storm watch posted.

Storm is looking less and less appealing. SLR's as low as 8:1 with the possibility of mixing even being mentioned. I'd prefer a fluffier 15-18:1 type snow. After clearing and shoveling 75+ inches in three weeks, I'm pooped. I am, however, looking forward to the possible blizzard conditions following. New generator just waiting Guess I need to get some extensions like MQT added the their snow stakes. Mine is measuring 56", so should easily go back over 5' again.

It's F'n deep up here

According to MQT, their snow pack there has a water equiv of 9", I probably have 10". Could spell another disaster on the Dead River just south of me like 2003, I think it was. Heavy rain and rapid snow melt. And I keep thinking, there's still 6 weeks left of good snow climo. Snow is up past 50% of most windows.

I'm pretty sure there's places in more remote areas that receive more snow than me, it just isn't measured by anyone... just west of here, and places in the Keweenaw see as much, if not more on a yearly basis. What makes this place special, is the fact that I sit high on a north facing ridge, with upslope in all but a few directions... it's really a unique spot. The six years I have been here, tho, this is the deepest depth I have seen, and the most snow at the current to-date period. I can see hitting 300" possibly this year. And you're right, the snow is pretty much impossible to walk through, and exhausting to even snowshoe at this depth. It's almost claustrophobic.

Around 6" of snow today, monthly total well over 70", snow up to my chest (I'm 6.2')... possibility of 1.5-2' of snow this weekend.

There's still plenty of open water. Twin Lakes area received 30-36" a few days ago because the ice shifted and a crack opened. Northern Lakes are freezing quickly, however..

I don't think I'm ready for this jelly

Most back roads up here that aren't seasonal are plowed, just narrow. I suspect once the Marquette road commission is caught up in towns, they’ll then come back through and push the snow back, further widening the roads. My road is basically a path still... haha! Snow's too deep to sled, too deep to snowshoe, just these massive walls everywhere. Spent hours yesterday clearing the seasonal roof snow away from the house that we shoveled off last week, which is basically like packed avalanche snow.... and looks like several inches fell while I was sleeping. Just constant snow removal this month and it looks to keep falling through the rest of the month with regularity.

Brief clearing today between lake snow

Been pounded by snow all afternoon. This morning there was no accumulating snow in the forecast, and it has snowed all day, with significant accums somewhere around 8-9" and still heavy...no advisory or anything. Nearing 70" this month. I have never seen such deep snow.

uh huh!

Do you even have Spring iyby?

wow @ Twin Lakes

Next clear day should be interesting re: the lake ice. I'm betting this wind has opened up a lot of water.

Winding down to lighter, more showery snow. When I went to bed last night, it was snowing with 1-2" in the forecast and then another inch today before noon. Woke up at 5 and was like wtf! Finished with an average of 13", maybe another couple inches overnight (20-30" fell just west). Season total is somewhere between 180-190". I quit counting weeks ago. A neighbor's cabin a few miles away

Haha! Well, I have an awesome 52" ride behind industrial type blower that throws the snow 30-40' into the woods, so I can keep the drive open fairly well... Plus I have a blade on my other quad. I'll admit, things do seem to be closing in tho. The back deck and patio all have over 3' on them and were clear a week ago. Hard to keep up. Everything hanging in the tree is at least 8 foot off the ground.

Update #3... A foot down and it's pound town. 2' already west of here around Winona.. After today's snow, I will have had nearly 60" the past 2 weeks with 40" of that falling since Tuesday. UNCLE! Where the heck is Will?

lol, ever? IDK about that, I'm only around 30" above normal. Definitely no complaints.

Heavy snow still falling. Looks like 5-7" overnight, I can't freaking tell anymore.

I feel so bad for you. Moving to such a sweet spot after always being teased in MI, only to have an anomalous winter.... maybe it's you.
