RCNYILWX Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 The GLF just issued by my office for Lake Michigan completely omitted waves on the north half of the lake due to extensive ice coverage. I wonder when the last time that happened was. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickysixes Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 We are 10 miles N of Traverse City on Old Mission and are at 164" for the season thus far. Maple City is only 15 WNW of TVC. An amazing winter forsure:) Here is a list compiled from the following article 2 days ago, not sure where the data came from though so not sure i f its "official" totals. http://www.mlive.com/weather/index.ssf/2014/02/michigans_snowfall_so_far_this.html Delaware - 275.1"[/size]Mohawk - 271.5"[/size]Maple City - 223.3"[/size]Houghton - 198.7"[/size]Manistee County average - 191"[/size]Ontanogon - 158.9"[/size]Gaylord - 157"[/size]Petoskey - 149"[/size]Munising - 136.3"[/size]East Jordan - 131.3"[/size]Kalkaska - 126.9"[/size]Holland - 125.5"[/size]Traverse City - 123"[/size]Muskegon - 121.7"[/size]Charlevoix - 107"[/size]Kalamazoo - 104.5"[/size]Sault Saint Marie - 103"[/size]Grand Rapids - 102.9"[/size]Cadillac - 90.7"[/size]Ann Arbor - 80.8"[/size]Detroit - 78.5"[/size]Flint - 71.8"[/size]Jackson - 67.3"[/size]Harbor Beach - 62.2"[/size]Milford - 60.2"[/size]West Branch - 59.6"[/size]Owosso - 58.5"[/size]Lansing - 56.7"[/size]Tawas City - 55.7"[/size]Alpena - 53.5"[/size]Saginaw - 52"[/size]Bad Axe - 50.5"[/size]Houghton Lake - 50.5"[/size]Bay City - 50"[/size]Port Huron - 48.3"[/size]Midland - 45"[/size]Sandusky - 42.3"[/size]Caro - 41.4"[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickysixes Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 The measurement for Traverse City is taken at Munson Hospital ONCE a day. Doesn't take into account the settling of the fluff, hence, lower totals than nearby locales. The Grand Traverse Road Commission (about 3-4 miles away) has measured over 150" thus far.. I can't believe that in only 15 miles you can go from 230" in Maple City down to "only" 124" in Traverse City, although I am inclined to believe the TC number since I believe its coming from Munson and NWS. I know LES is very localized but 100" in 15 miles would be very impressive and incredible. Although comparing Gaylord to Houghton is pretty similar I suppose, but Traverse is considered in a Snowbelt especially the NNW flows. But we haven't had to many of those this year. There seems to be a un ordinary amount of WSW flows which would probably explain why may areas to my West have as well as my area or better compared to long term averages.

BuffaloWeather Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I think we should send some of our over abundance of moisture to California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitelakeroy Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think we should send some of our over abundance of moisture to California. No thanks.

Whitelakeroy Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The Rowe is just a stone throw away across the lake from my house. I use its light to gauge how heavy it's snowing. I ate there Christmas Eve. It's good, but portions are too small for the price. Much better places are The Blue Pelican in Central Lake, and Grey Gables and Terry's in Charlevoix. Great food and atmosphere. http://roweinn.com/ http://www.terrysofcharlevoix.com/ http://greygablesinn.com/ Thanks for the tips ... I will have to visit them in my return trips!!

If I lived there I would buy a tractor or a huge snow-thrower. Did you get 18 inches over night? Or just blowing and drifting from the already deep snow-pack?

BuffaloWeather Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 ^ only 3-4" overnight... mostly blowing snow. already -16 tonight.... Huge fields+high winds+3 feet of snow on the ground.

josh_4184 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 lol.... mine wouldn't start. I could have maybe drove through it but it was wind packed and dense.

I'm not disciplined enough to keep track.... full time job...lol I hear ya. When you get snow everyday it can be near impossible to keep track. My total is definitely a few inches off over the course of the year but I try to keep it as close as possible. Erie County has to have 50-60 stations throughout the county so its easy to compare and contrast totals here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_4184 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 you know, Spring.... May-June.... June is not Summer up here. I am seriously doubting we see much of a "summer" up here anyway Went to buy a roof snow rack last weekend should have known there wouldn't be any left in town. Had to order one online. First year in this home in the winter, I assumed the steep pitch would of kept the snow down, which it did, but the point where my garage roof and main pitch intersect has about 3' plus on it. Also little disapointed as I have quite a bit of ice jamming as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've raked my roof 3 times already this winter and spent all day sunday breaking up ice in two valley's on my roof. hard work when it's 10 degrees.
