Thinking the same thing. First/final call of 3.1” at DTW.

Very fluffy and temperatures were near freezing, so it settled quickly. Still after tomorrow, I’ll be near DTW’s average February total already. Video from earlier today:

Impressive little setup in the Detroit area today. Ample moist flow off Lake Michigan was focused along a weak boundary. Enhanced convergence coupled with sufficient saturation within a decent sized DGZ lead to a band of heavy snow along I-696. Accumulations of 2-4” fell across the 696 corridor and caused many accidents. Video to be added later. I picked up 2.9” of fluff. Top 10 event this winter May get another round of snow in the afternoon with a weak disturbance swinging through. HRRR has consistently shown some heavy showers that bring 0.5”-2”.

The 696 corridor is getting taken to the cleaners this morning. I’m out taking video but 2-3” wouldn’t surprise me from this band. Lots of slide offs and accidents.

Going back and forth between SN- and solid SN in this lake effect along the 696 corridor. Steadily adding to the seasonal total

Final event total is 3.2" in Berkley. Grass is covered so that's a win.

20.5” as of midnight

Probably the best flake size of the whole event right now. Should fluff up the totals with the rest of this activity. Solid SN

It's definitely been really bad in some aspects. I love brutal cold, respectable snowpacks, and healthy amounts of lake ice. Those have been...lacking this winter. Definitely have been saved by the Veterans Day storm and January 18th. I'll take two warning criteria events in this winter for sure. February has been our month for the last two decades, so I still have some hope for something good coming up.

Up to 2.8" so far for this event. With the flow still off Huron, and there still being some lift in the region, should probably be able to hit 3". Not only a top 10 event, but a top 3 event this winter

Just brutal. OKC picked up more than CHI and DET combined so far. That’ll change by tonight but still, been bottom shelf bad

Can’t wait for another snow event that happens mostly overnight and ends as light drizzle

mood flakes alone are a top 10 event this winter^

Got 1.1” as of 12z. HRRR has an additional ~3” tonight into tomorrow, with heavy lake squalls moving toward Detroit at the end of the run. Hopefully can get this round to work out.

Measured 0.8” at 6z. Been a snore storm for the most part in SE Oakland County besides for the accidents. Some video I got from earlier in the evening:

Sitting at exactly 0.5" so far. Numerous accidents because the roads are icy and apparently people can't drive for sh*t.

DAB with the heaviest returns staying south of 8 mile. Insane storm

The bar is in the basement at this point with this winter. But HRRR and other hi-res model trends aren’t bad this morning. Kinda surprised DTX didn’t pull the trigger for a WWA

Euro is a nice hit for SEMI. Also has that pronounced LES signature for the Chicago area and treats them well

Euro Kuchera maps for reference. Some consensus in all the non-NAM models. Still don’t feel confident at all in how this will evolve.

Just a brief look at the 00z UKMET shows it’s in the farther NW camp with most of the other 00z guidance. This run did shift a little north compared to its 12z run.

GFS is definitely more ICON-like than toward the NAM. Huge differences in how that trough is being handled just a few days out.

Picked up 0.6” of snow yesterday evening, but it’s long gone now. Beautiful day outside with that weird yellow orb making an appearance again. Detroit broke its record high of 52F, set in 1973, by reaching 53F today.

You always do buddy With how this winter has been, even a 3-6” storm would be one of the highlights. Even if this event doesn’t come together well, don’t hate the active look of the extended.

Managed 0.2” of snow this afternoon that very quickly melted, accept on some elevated surfaces and remnant snow piles. Total for the month will be 9.4”, and 24.9” for the season.
