Take your own bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's when you go.

This is the goat BBQ sauce, anything else is a couple tiers lower.

As a Toledo resident I can confirm that's the worst I've ever seen this city. Folks were taking every road possible that led to Michigan, apparently in Sylvania it was so bad that yards were being drove through.

I was going to stop at the Raising Cain's on US-20 on the way home, there was a line 100 deep out the door when I passed by.

I took a video of the 360 degree sunset at my location, I was down in Marion OH. Absolutely worth the trip even with the mess of traffic in Toledo that took me 2 hours to go 25 miles.

1200 feet inside line of totality.   Still debating whether to head a few miles nw or just get drunk in my backyard.

I hope all you people in ohio in the path stay at home so I can get home in a reasonable manner.

I will more than likely be in Ohio for this unless something dramatically changes, then I will be in Indiana.

MQT's total as of this morning 7 am 18.9" 3.22 LE

Got dumped on here last night.  

Haven't been out yet but getting ready to start clearing snow.  Just looking out, it's deep.  Snowed all night.

 

How are the chickens handling all of this?

Marquette yesterday ended up with 14" of snow on 2.40" of liquid. Talk about a complete cement job.

Forecast for Ishpeming and Negaunee is wild af

12z NAM has 44 inches here.   

Geni ready to go, tractor gassed up, firewood stocked, roast cooking.  Still need to run to town for a few things as I imagine roads out this way will be impassible for a couple days with tree damage.

Get pictures of this if it comes close to verifying.

I like to see this as it will help get the UP and northern WI with the Drought situation.

It does seem like the some of the biggest storms lately have been Spring. 

2 of the 5 years I live in the UP they had major Snowstorms April and May. 

Biggest was May 10, 1990 which closed NMU summer classes for the first time ever for snow.  Driving home from MTU a couple weeks late we could still see snow piles.

 

 

Yeah these places need precip so even though it will be coming as heavy snow it is very welcome.

Every forum or social media medium has a dark mode, there is no reason this place doesn't have one except for neglect.

I would think they will rebuild a bridge. Right now - that's a major way people go if they can't tolerate the tunnel (other interstate option would be all the way around the western side of 695. Obviously the decision probably won't factor in people's tunnel phobias...but I imagine due to the logistics of tunneling, they will keep it as a bridge when rebuilt. 

Logistically the bridge has a necessity, it is the bypass that trucks especially ones carrying hazardous materials use because they can't use the tunnel, and the west side of 695 around Baltimore has too much traffic/longer distance

Surprised that "generous" lol.

It did snow, and it wasn't in the teens for amounts. And that 2 week period was pretty good, plus it was mostly active we were just on the bad side of things too much.

What was your snow total?

Idk, probably around 20-25 even with the 4 that came yesterday.

C- winter

Do you keep track of daily snow in Eastpointe or just some events?

Just some, I don't have the time here so I call in usually with big events. I do know we get shafted a lot tho comparatively.

Looks like southern/central macomb over to Oakland have done well and the band has been parked over them for awhile and still is. 

Yeah we had 4" here in Eastpointe.

Probably won't amount to much at the airport but there are parts of the metro that will do more than 4".

This is a good discussion for the banter thread. Much more topical than most posts that are made in the banter threads.

It is a better discussion for the climate change subforum, how about you take it there instead.

Its cold out there. I hope this does not impact the fruit industry in this state.

I get why SPC didn't go harder on the risk, it is March and usually clouds linger and kill off a potential. That didn't happen and so the areas to the east where the better shear always was, got unstable and stayed unstable after sunset. It is a very tough forecast. I do think this might be an indication that this spring is going to have very significant potential in a lot of places especially considering the EML extensions and the transition into a La Nina while still in a -PDO from the last La Nina. Everything signals a very active spring.

still looks above average to me. I mean the warmth probably won't be as extreme as it has been (relative to average), but it looks mild overall.

Nah it is below normal if the models are right for the back half of the month, by that point our normals are pushing 50/30.

Another terrible poster usually full of shit, much like bustardi.

I wonder if we will green up further with the rain last night, I am noticing lawns are starting to green which is very early, probably almost a month early at this point.
