MIstorm97

Ended up having a last-minute rally this morning. Only was at 1.6" at 8am, but a burst of parachutes rained down after that. Was able to get up to 2.3" before the snow turned off. Immediate melting began, and now the snow is basically all gone. Still was a nice distraction from everything going on. My seasonal total is now up to 47.0".

Got 1.0" so far, but snow is still coming down steadily. Should probably get another half inch or so. Never did a first call here, but was thinking 1.6".

Well today has certainly lived up to the forecast in NW IN and SW MI. Was out with fellow member Illinoiswedges documenting the high wave event. We saw very large waves, significant erosion and property damage, and flooding. Video to come.

This warm winter is having multiple consequences, with one being the lack of ice on the Great Lakes. Lake Michigan is largely ice-free, and this means that high wind events still have the potential to cause shore damage and flooding in times where there would usually be lake ice protecting the shore. Today looks to be one of those days from Chicago to SW MI. Strong NNW winds, gusting up to at least 50mph in instances, will be blowing down the length of the lake. Waves of 14-18 feet are expected, with maximum occasional wave heights of 22-23 feet. This is on top of a storm surge of up to 1.5 feet from the continued push of water to the southern shoreline. The eastern half of the Indiana shore into far SW MI looks to have the highest waves and worst impacts. I'll be out there today, as I love documenting these high wave events. With the near-record high lake levels continuing, this has the potential to once again be a damaging event along the shore.

A good year for us bustin once again

My DAB+ call for the current storm is still in play

bullish call^ won't even get sub 1000mb

Gonna be either an amped rainer or sheared out 1-3 incher. Story of the winter

GFS has been nailing the rainers and slopstorms. Ride it obviously.

Detroit needs 2.4” to break its all-time snowiest November record (11.8” in 1966). Might as well go for it this weekend considering all the other November snowfall records have been broken.
