No! More! Damage storms pls. I'm good for a while

DARK (k)NIGHT here alive and well living a pseudo 19th century lifestyle, lol

Almost a given we get a nice sunny day after a S stream SW hits and departs. Awesome storm, fun to see cars stuck on snowy roads in the metro. Thanks to snow actually accumulating on the pavement this time, plow banks and piles are legit. Only minor negative is I'm still one of these stats:

Still in the dark. DTE site did not have good news. They have yet to assess the cause and planned recovery time. Peeked outside and saw a blue green flash. Transformer? Idk, but phone batt is not going to last too long.

Hold that jealousy. Eating a cold dinner by candlelight here in Canton. Starting to get chilly. Entire complex went dark an hour ago. Rumbles continue. Drive home about 5:30 was a crawl.

Because I was.. 1) Done with this lame-ass winter 2) Wrote this off 2 days ago 3) Promised to eat my words if it came full circle for DTW OFC!

I'm ok with flat (storms)

About 24 hrs ago I wrote this off saying it wouldn't come full-circle for DTW. Might have words to eat if this keeps up.

Wrote this off as a rainer yesterday for DTW. WPC keeping us in the heavy "something" zone.

maybe

As we've seen many times this winter. Primarily when the thermals are mega-borderline. Some have still managed to produce a very narrow snowstorm zone, while others have just been cyber snow and little more.

Either way. I'll ride the 34F and rain as a slight majority. Let's call it 50/30/20% for RN/ZR/IP outcome from here. And no, we won't need skates since our ground is anything but frozen. The ISW wasn't about slippery roads at all, nor can this be if ZR actually plays out. WPC does not see a snowstorm in our future

This is 1/25 on 'roids...and going NW of us. Gonna b 34 Rainer for DTW again. Yay. But, we need the hydro

I'd rather push the ignore button until it's inevitable. That's what I did with the S trending ice storm. It is a lot more fun "tracking" when you know it's real and not going poof like the Christmas Big Dog. I'm not into the pessimism posts. Gave that up after the Jan 25th storm held.

Man, we sure are hungry for model abuse in here.

It missed "snowless" already, but now it's just another well BN month, like fractionally so.

I thought that's what you're doing out there every day, lol

There's your "more winter". Getting our late March inchers a month early. Tbh, the ice storm was my final interest of the season. Moving on from the cold season so when I opened the door to all white this morning not only was it a small surprise but a bit of a let-down lol, even tho it's mostly gone. Looking for sun and decent conditions going into March. Prolly go the other way and get a "reverse spring" as has been the norm in this Tri-Nina.

Not a fan of ice, but this storm actually elevates the winter grade in my book.

March 1976 was the epic all-timer with 2+ inches of ice centered along the M-46/Saginaw corridor. I skated down the street in my neighborhood. Presuming they are referring to that one not quite 50 years ago. It was bad as in Genesee Cnty, but not sure about Detroit Metro.

Glad it's not worse for you. When I saw GRR's graphic saying up to 3/4" ice and "as bad as 2013" I figured someone in that zone would be in trouble. A lot of trees in your area. So far, I have branches sagging, but haven't heard any breaking. I may just barely escape damage by the slimmest of margins.

Glad to hear. So far, so good here as well.

I keep imagining if we had legit cold air and this was a snowstorm. I so wanted to stay up there. Missed it by mere hours. APX getting raked

Thx. Missed my brown ground. Thought temps would slowly RISE. Apparently that was too optimistic. For DTW...The peak freezing rain intensity (moderate to brieflyheavy) will persist through 04Z before it moves off to the east. Sfctemps will hold around 32 degrees through the evening, then theywill actually drop a degree or two overnight.

So.. 000FXUS63 KDTX 222327AFDDTXArea Forecast DiscussionNational Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac MI627 PM EST Wed Feb 22 2023.UPDATE...Reports of a tenth to near a quarter inch across Lenawee and WayneCounties has prompted an upgrade to an ice storm warning forLenawee/Monroe/Wayne Counties. Locals near Lake Erie in Monroe Countywill likely have limited icing, however farther inland (particularlynear Petersburg, Dundee and Milan) icing to a quarter inch isexpected.The convective burst which rolled across the area earlier andproduced a few elevated thunderstorms proved very efficient at icingper spotter reports. Given upstream radar and with the loss ofdaytime heating, icing on trees and power lines should prove veryefficient through the rest of the evening.&&
