Ofc I want the results over the headline too but you just have to live in one of GRR's non-LES regions to fully appreciate the frustration of getting the same WWA headline others are under when you should easily have a watch/warning for a synoptic event. Then, as you've pointed out they will issue a warning for LES that delivers a few inches. Even more angst involved if it means your only season without a warning in your entire life as I'm facing to date.
Presuming it holds, would be my first winter anywhere I've lived without a warned storm. Clare County scored 6.5" in the first Feb storm, but we are in GRR's ignorable corner so they never upgraded. Mm
Have you taken a drive up in the snowbelts of NMI? Its only about 2 hrs from Mt. P. My co-worker lives outside Kalkaska and says the snows up to his roof line in places. You mentioned not seeing deep snow before.
I scored about 70% of the 23" the 1/31 Euro snowfall map was showing here through the 15th. Considering that was Kuchera ratios, I don't hate my result.
Isn't that 1842-43 winter nuts? Just the snowcover statement alone makes 13-14 look "ok" lol. I know nothing of the depths in 1842-43. Are there any measurement data that you're aware of? (oh, and I figured you'd be going north this winter - hope your trip is great)
Latest SR models look like a big pile of dog crap for middle of The Mitt. Sandwiched between systems yet again. How much you have on the ground there attm?
Somebody would have to be in for an obvious thumping tomorrow night/Sunday morning to get bumped or toggled to a Warning tomorrow pm. East of US23 seems those with the best shot attm.
