Woah.. That's a highway?

Yep. I'll pass on the winds. That could also screw with the expected i94 band I think? Well see anyways. I am in no way a expert on this lake stuff.

Hoping that system makes a comeback late next week. Would love to challenge that Nov 2000 snowfall record of 28.

Did my Jeb walk last night ( two miles ) and thought about doing another tonight but ughh the wind chill... Perhaps tomorrow night when it gets crazy? Basically considering leaving the vehicle home and walking to and from work which is just over two miles each way?

Latest AFD from GRR suggests tomorrow afternoon/night may be more intense with a dominate i94 band setting up.. 2 feet perhaps when all is said and done here? Crazy if it materializes. City here just issued a snow emergency for Tomorrow into Sunday. Only other time had one of these was with GHD II.

They are definitely going over the 6 foot mark! Insane!

Just saw the Detroit radar! What's going on over there? Bands still look decent over there.

Just talked to the boss who's place is just south of the zoo and he said only about 2 inches there so far. Snowing good here now..

Yep. That would do it. Crazy totals for around here anyways. Totals from 4 just south of town on up to near a foot in Pennfield/north side on back to Kalamazoo from what I am hearing via channel 3.. About 10 here by Emmett St and or a couple of blocks from Pennfield.. Work is about a little over two miles south so it will be interesting to see what a difference that makes. I'll be there in a hour..

Thus the problem with les especially with these types of bands and cellular stuff. Huge cut offs. Right now between either side ( to i94 on the southern end.. And to about i96 on northern end) of and including Allegan and Berry looking to be ground zero. So far anyways. See what happens once the wnw flow settles in and we get a better moisture supply again along with colder air.

Too bad we cannot add another 100 miles east to west across our lake.

Yeah if we can keep this going all night I think we could see warning criteria amounts almost to Jackson. Rare air for sure. See what happens once the flow settles into the wnw direction in a little bit. I think the cellular look to some of it could have to do with the low level flow wsw to sw while above it has become westerly. Plus the patches of drier air. a bit better moisture should be heading over the lake shortly. So between all of that coming together in a little while it should fan out a bit more and intensify. We'll see anyways. Ofcourse later tomorrow/tomorrow night the flow should start backing again towards the wsw and even sw ahead of the next impulse on Saturday and then back to wnw/me later Saturday into Saturday night which should light it up again.

That is wild looking!

Living life on the edge here but thankfully on the good side with the persistent band that's been rolling along between i94 up towards the county line. If that can hang around most of the night should do very well here. Hopefully it spreads out some for you guys..

Latest aviation from GRR said there was some lightening with the stuff towards i96 to the north of here.

Thanks for starting this thread. They ( w.NY )are about to get a nice boost from lake MI as these bands look to make a run across the whole state. Been snowing at a very decent pace the past hour or so with a nice band extending from here back towards the lake. Roads etc all snow covered now.

Wasn't really supposed to ramp up till later today and tonight. Radar trends looking better. Might be one of the best set ups we see.

Finally someone answers that question I had been wondering with that event. Wsw flow. Wow! That left 18-24+ around here which is beyond incredible for this far inland.

Just gotta keep the flow from bending too far out of the south .. That could be the biggest issue here.

I was looking at that. Crazy! 3-4 feet? Makes our foot+ possible totals around here look like peanuts but still impressive for these parts.

Looking upstream etc I honestly think a foot+ is looking good for your backyard. Surprised there is no thread for this?

You still in the Grand Rapids area? For these parts this is looking to be one of the most impressive les events I have seen. Rare day when GRR has warnings flying all the way to here and or including 3rd row of counties. Ofcourse some of the models have gone into the unknown with qpf amounts ( UK/Canadian inch + ) I have never seen this far inland that I can recall? Even the normal models showing between a half inch to over .75! You are in a solid spot if you are still by Grand Rapids?

Ended up with around two inches from this last system. Ofcourse my attention is now on this LES starting tomorrow. Some of the models spitting out crazy amounts for this far inland that I have never seen before. Uk and Canadian spitting over a inch qpf. BS for sure but still have never seen that ever that I can recall? Anyways GRR just upgraded to a warning out to/including the third row of counties between i94 to i96.

Right now I'll take the 70+ stuff we had today over the crap we are looking at this weekend. Yes as I get older I am favoring warmer. Ofcourse cold by itself has never done anything for me anyways..

Any time I think of 3rd year Nina's I think of 2000-2001. Thing with that was it started off great but crapped out after the new year. December saw many snowfall records fall that still hold to this day. Even November around here set the record for snowiest Nov that still holds to this day. My thoughts had been and remain that if the winter stuff got going early in the month it would go till Jan and then perhaps fade out much like 00-01 but if it waited till later in the month it would hold till March.. We'll see. Wanna see that shitty nnw/n flow bs go away first along with a favorable storm track.
