18z Gfs with one hell of a 1-2 punch next week.

A Detroit area gas compresser owned by consumers energy started on fire today and they are now asking customers to conserve gas useage in southeast mi.https://www.wnem.com/news/consumers-energy-is-asking-that-customer-voluntarily-reduce-gas-usage/article_24350dd4-24c4-11e9-8689-c36559e0449b.html?fbclid=IwAR3y6Y2-6NHMqw-TgFicRAA37GKS3k2PcfPRuMT2mvEuXNCwHZWfxJFPDl8

Pouring snow right now flake size very respectable as well. There could be some lake enhancement from the east wind of Huron ongoing but regardless so far piling up pretty good. No idea of an accurate measument with the wind but I would say around 5 inches. If the low moves south of my local and we stay in the pivot I could see making a run at 10.

Will change a lot im sure but the euro sure has an ice storm type look with a strong occluding low to the west and cold high pressure building in from the north in the 7 to 9 day range

And says let's do it again 3 days later

With the lack of vegetation in the winter, especially leaves on trees, to impead and dampen the sound shouldn't thunder be heard better in the cold season vs warm?

Two days later and all bombs cancelled. Talk about big swings.....and misses

Marquette back at 0 with today's watch. The streak of the lack of severe weather in lower mi is really quite remarkable

With the ground being so dry barren and hard during those years I wonder if it acted almost like asphalt and retained the heat longer allowing for the warmer lows? Just like a natural heat island effect but on a huge scale.

It would be really something if dtx and grr could break the tornado watch drought thanks to a remnent tropical storm on may 30th of all things

Gusted to 68 mph here in bad axe mi with the front. Good thing the trees are still mostly bare

http://upnorthlive.com/news/local/waves-damage-property-near-lakeshore-in-manistee Just another thing to write home about for this storm.

Mostly sleet here as well today. Granted roads are a mess and the winds yesterday caused some power outages but in the end nothing close to what would have been if the freezing rain would have materialized.

Mostly sleet around here now. Flooding ongoing around bay city mi as the wind forces the waters of lake Huron into Saginaw bay and up the Saginaw river.

Don't trust some of the observation. I can tell by stepping outside that it isn't snowing in bad axe. sleet freezing rain mix with trees that are icing up despite temps right around freezing. It isn't even dripping anymore off the trees pretty much all freezing on contact. Winds are at 40 so this isn't looking good...
