michsnowfreak Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 0.73" of liquid (1.2" snow) at DTW today so far...probably pick up a bit more with the line now in W MI. Other than ponding and minor flooding on streets, most of the rain sponged right into the snowpack so all of the flooding concerns were largely avoided. Now..onto the wind.

cyclone77 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I gotta admit it looks like I was wrong. Figured widespread warning criteria would have come pretty easy this evening in the DVN area. So far mainly high end advisory level. Fine with me though, I like having electricity lol. Jinx.

michsnowfreak Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Just kicking the can down the road. I thought of that too...but will cross that bridge when we come to it (if it isnt under water )....but a slow melt would be ideal anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 How's your snowpack holding up? Quite well...probably 14-15" or so....DTW still just 37F at 10pm so we are running behind on temps...interested to see the temp spike and how short lived it is here (obviously Im hoping for a short duration). I see ORD the last 4 hours went 39F, 49F, 42F, 38F. The temp spike appears to be more brief than models had indicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 whats your depth? No flooding issues there either? Averaging around 6" now. Wind and mid 30s still doing some dirty work out there. Well there was street flooding earlier. Not sure what the rivers are doing this evening. I would imagine they would get up to bankful tomorrow.

dmc76 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 whats your depth? No flooding issues there either? I don't think I lost much. Still about 14-15" or so. Lost 6-7 inches since yesterday afternoon. I figured we would be around around 10-12". Got lucky today saved 4-5" of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 The rainfall performed about as expected (0.5-1.4" range in the southern two MI counties)...flooding basically a non-issue outside the nuisance ponding....and so far peak gust just 35mph. I expect it to be breezy all day, but Im just fine avoiding the terrible gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
