RogueWaves

About 1" on my deck here since evening. Even pavement is nicely covered.

Been a constant theme all season

Nothing good has come together besides 11-11 and 1-17/18

How to make a small dog look like a Big Dog - change the color scheme

Yeah, watch sampling take all the wind out of our sails yet again..

Did you get any headlines for that?

^ last minute N bump in a mild winter. Shocking!

My office going bullish with a 2-4" thinking at this point. Need S trends to be #freal for that to be legit on the bottom tier of the CWA

4.8" as of this morning w/4" depth. Feel like I got an invite to the winner's circle after all..

Nearing one solid inch despite donut holing for a bit. Not bad for first 2 hrs.

Great call for mby

Flakes could be just sugar-sand variety ice crystals, thus divide maps in half. Not a forecast, but a concern mentioned by GRR yesterday. That combined with long duration could be the reason to hesitate on a WWA. Hoping for solid last-minute trends for once myself.

It is amazing, and we're pretty fortunate to have this option during winter. Many states west of us don't. They don't get the extra snow from the GL's like we do. Even more contrasting can sometimes be seen in early spring. I remember back in the 90's we'd be downstate for Easter holiday visits and there would already be greened-up lawns in April due to T-storms. Then drive back home outside of Traverse and there'd be an iceberg of condensed snow a foot deep and Peeps crossing the hwy on snowmobiles. '86 was even more extreme. Folks going up to their cabin for Easter break and having to plow 24" out of their driveways just to get in. And that was in NEMI, not even the classic snowbelt zone. Do you remember the infamous ABC news footage back in May of '82? On World News Tonight they did a story about the Regan era military build-up and somehow decided on footage from Camp Grayling as their example of troops in training. Here it was a warm May day and these soldiers are running around in the 18" deep remainder of the awesome snow pack from that legendary winter! You want to see when Alpena was raking, check out their snow totals all thru the 80's.

Yep, bout time us S of the Chi-town crew get a bulls-eye event.

Don't really need NW. Do need stronger tho! Getting out-snowed by TX or OK would suck.

Contamination line even gets back here on some GEFS members, so yeah, even more concern your way. Still, trends are much better than it all going east of the Sub or weak BS

Yeah, even ENS have been junk in the MR. I think we are now seeing some much needed consistency, hopefully leaving the mega-bouncing phase behind. Now the Euro looks to be your friend. I'll be shocked if SEMI's magnet for big storms this winter is somehow denied this time, lol.

Kinda surprised at 2 things this morning. Temps did indeed plunge overnight. I questioned the 31F in my grid, yet we did even better getting into the upr 20s with lots of frost and frozen up puddles. The other surprise was how many areas of patchy snow survived the 51F & sunshine, even out in the open farm fields. With plow banks and piles in abundance, it really won't take much fresh snow fall to make it look like mid-winter again.

12z GFS was a beaut via Kuchera for SWMI

For once, the dreaded d3/4 sig shift has gone our way.

It's actually close to 2 day's of runs, but the point remains it is beyond laughable amount of shifting.

I was responding to someone's post about snow in OH. This map shows 45F soils up to KIND, and that was Saturday. Prior to this mini-torch. I'm sure they've come up with record temps yesterday, and another warm day today.

Because it wasn't for "this far north". My original post was regarding middle IN & OH. Winter's been absent there. At least the last 2 weeks have been decent up here north of the brew curtain.

Major, and I mean MAJOR shift back NW by the GGEM. LOL, the 12z was a complete whiff S

Yeah, the LES making it into SEMI was rare in my youth there too. There was the Feb '85 event when the Low stalled N of Superior and spun for 2 days. East of KFNT at my folk's place we had 4-6" of ice cold pixies. More commonly, we would get squalls around Genesee Cnty that would drop 1 or 1.5" in short order, then the sun would come back out. Those I do remember as the better LES hits.
