    Looks like a good chunk of the DVN cwa has a legit shot at achieving 20"+ snow cover by next week. Euro shows 10-15" of snow to fall on an existing 10-15" of snow cover. The multi-layers of ice mixed in with the snowpack, and additional heavy cover to come means we won't be seeing the grass for quite a long time it would seem.

    Looks like a solid 2-4" refresher for the QCA after a short period of rain. The rain will make layer number 3 of ice within the snowpack lol.

    This crappy cell pic out the back window doesn't do it justice on how awesome it looked this morning. Very heavy rime icing after that very dense ground fog overnight. Really made for an enchanting drive into work this am lol.

    Man there was so much new material to read when I got home it was almost overwhelming lol. Nice turnaround from earlier in the winter.

    GEM would be a nice hit for the snow-starved southeast MI crew, and downstate IL as well.

    Extremely thick shallow/ground fog the past few hours. Visibility is about as low as I've ever seen it at ground level, yet you can look up and see the stars. About 11" of glacier in place, with 2-4" refresher on the way Thu in time for the arctic intrusion. Should help to make the most of the cold air masses en route.

    I think the futility talk at the time is one way to make oneself feel a bit better about how horrible things are going at the time. Since if things continue on as bad at least there would be something to show for it at the end. I consider it a momentary coping method lol.

    Current snow depth and snow water equivalent. Over 2" of water in the snowpack over a pretty nice sized area.

    Added another half inch yesterday afternoon/evening to bring the storm total up to 3.0". Not what we hoped for, but nice refresher (with another layer of ice in the snowpack to boot). DVN put out this map yesterday morning. Amounts in the CR are a little light, as the 6" reports came in after this map was made.

    Going to pick up a new snow blower tomorrow so I've probably jinxed us into sub 3" snows the rest of the season lol.

    Spreadin' the wealth.

    Nice mood flakes atm. Biggest impact from this system here was the ice. Caused some sporadic power outages in the area, which I didn't expect.
  14. cyclone77
    Yeah the timing definitely made a difference. Winter didn't really show up here till Dec 29th, and since then it's been cold with lots of refresher events. Haven't gotten out of the 30s since Dec 27th, and most of the time we've been below freezing. On Dec 23 we hit 61, that seems like eons ago lol.

    Yeah it's one of the things that keeps this hobby interesting.

    Congrats! You guys are about 20" ahead of us now for the season. You've had over 15" since last weekend. How much do you have OTG now?
  17. cyclone77
    This latest system brings us up to about 19" for the season. With 11-12" of snow and ice on the ground we've done extremely well to conserve what we've received. The past two systems have pulled the rug out in the final 24-48hrs reducing consistently forecast snowfall amounts by 30-50%. Getting pretty tired of that shit. Hopefully the next system can at least perform as modeled within 48hrs.

    2.5" so far. Considering how much fell west and east it's pretty disappointing.
  19. cyclone77
    Snow is quite light as radar returns have really weakened. Looks like long-duration light snows from here on out.
  20. cyclone77
    Lights have been flickering here the past half hour or so. Snow is sticking to the ice on the trees even with the wind. Looks like a good half inch so far. HRRR/3km NAM show another 0.3" or so of precip, so hope to end up in that 3-4" range. Not as epic as places east are getting but respectable.
  21. cyclone77
    Yeah we had rime icing/hoar frost which also clung to that for several days with a string of days with very dense fog. All that fell off/melted a few days after that.
  22. cyclone77
    Congrats @Jackstraw
  23. cyclone77
    Finally primarily snow. That was grueling. Looks like a few tenths of ice accrual on the trees and maybe a few tenths of sleet.
  24. cyclone77
    Still a driving sleet here.
  25. cyclone77
    Yeah 3-4" sounds about right for here as well. We've actually gone back over to 75/25 sleet/frz rain. CC shows solid snow is just about here though. Heavy returns moving in from the south, should have heavy snow here within a half hour to hour.
