Yep. As mentioned earlier I think one of them caves by/at 12z runs later on. We'll see. Was around same time it happened with GHD lll.

Gut tells me GRR will ride the GFS. They tend to ( not always but usually ) follow whatever model ( GFS vs euro situation ) has the highest snowfall over the office and the GFS has that. Not saying if it's right or wrong but that's how they usually roll at this office.

It's crazy especially for being this close in .

I think we should know for sure by the 12z run tomorrow. I know it was around this time ( see GHD lll storm thread 2 ) the GFS pulled the backing off stunt with that event.

This stuff today puts the seasonal total just over the 50 mark which is very close to normal for this date.

Yeah the GFS can suck it with that ice. Go north or south I don't care but not that crap. Thankfully far enough out that one or the other is almost a given. I suspect it will end up a bit further south in the end. Just not sure how much further south?

I got married down there in Howard. Hopefully that sleet crap goes back south. Can't recall that happening and thus doing a full reversal? Usually when that gets se it stays there. Slp looks to pass far enough east in WV so not sure what's up with that? Getting some mood flakes up here from it but that's it.

Mt. Vernon! Guessing it is ripping there? I vanished for a little while. A ton going on ( still do ) but slowing some. Had major heart surgery a few years back which I healed well from. So yeah all is better!

Grr updated. Final snowfall total and map. Lansing with 13.3 is largest daily snowfall record for Feb. Pretty impressive considering how far back the records go for that location. Officially here 10.0 but ala the observer is well outside of town at the county line with Barry. Still it fits the area totals of 9-12..

Congrats on the dumping guys! I am pulling hard for Cincy in the SB!

I agree about here especially that 67 record. But that record there and when it happened ( as you said so late in season ) is why I feel that is long overdo to fall. I am certain there will be another 67 qpf bomb in the region but who gets those insane amounts is the question. I doubt it will be here. Ofcourse that storm had temps in the 50s ( near 60 ) the day before here. A bit more warmth and stronger high to the east and we may have pulled it off again with this. Ofcourse I think that storm that rode up that front in 67 was a bit stronger too. One of the others around here probably knows those details better? Either way I think Detroit has better odds then most think of nailing that record.. Jmho

Got some mood flakes here and there but that's about it.

I have thought that because yeah records have fallen in every direction from here except east along I94 to Detroit since my first winter here in 04-05. It really is like pulling teeth to get a really good quality storm here.

Thought we would make a run at a foot but fell short a little with 10.5. Disappointed because I missed the best rates here being stuck in Kalamazoo till the afternoon. In the end another typical higher end storm for this region and nothing really to write home about imby. Our computer models still have a ways to go especially where handling stuff up in Canada/pole goes. The rarity of this storm is how widespread the 6+ amounts will be. Hope someone does a final map that includes everything from the whole thing Should do a poll to see when everyone thinks the older snowstorm records fall at Detroit, Here and or wherever they are 50+ years old. My belief is this record here will be standing long after I am gone. Detroit has a much better shot at it. Ofcourse it may not seem that way to those living there but that damn record if I recall is 140 yrs old so that sucker is long overdo to fall.

Left Battle Creek around 6:30 am with about 2.5 on the ground. In Kalamazoo till the afternoon. Was about the same on the ground when I arrived here.

Changeover here not expected till 2-3am..

My hope is the rain finishes it off.. Sunny spots is gone. Just the shaded spots were left.

Rain has fired up here!

Hoping with the warmer temps that has wiped most of the snow cover away aids in slowing the front etc down and thus allows for a further nw adjustment.

Till the GFS or euro start making a decent shift nw I am not biting on the short range stuff and time is running out.

Just can't get that damn GFS to come back nw fast enough!

Total for Jan 67 was 28.6. storm total not daily total which I posted. 21.1 on Jan 26 and 7.5 on Jan 27. Qpf total was amazing with 2.86! Rare beast for this part of the world. Straight 10-1 ratios.. Keep in mind probably have had many of storms that say started at noon and finished noon the next day.

Yeah it is rare to get that in this part of the world.. Guess I am gonna have to do some research because here in Battle Creek the only two I am certain that pulled it off I mentioned already.

Yeah he forgot to add in Battle Creek. The two I know of are Jan 67 with 21.1 and Jan 78 with 18.0 and both are Jan 26th.
