Hoosier Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 lol, unbelievable. I've come to expect it at this point. I-65 sounds bad UPDATE...DECIDED TO UPGRADE NORTHERN THIRD OF THE FORECAST AREA TO A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR BLOWING SNOW AFTER RECEIVING TRUCKER REPORTS OF MISERABLE DRIVING CONDITIONS ON I-65 NORTH OF LAFAYETTE. ANTICIPATE CONDITIONS ONLY WORSEN WITH ARRIVAL OF THE ARCTIC FRONT OVERNIGHT. BIGGEST PROBLEMS WILL BE IN RURAL LOCALES. NEAR WHITEOUT CONDITIONS EXPECTED.

Gilbertfly Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 House starting to do the creek and crack thing as the winds are gusting prolly the highest of the day here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoof Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Still snowing lightly here with 0 radar returns for over an hour in the radar hole in Central MI, HRRR had been saying for many runs there would be some 3k feet tall or less weak lake effect bands thru here that the radar can't see and it's right, maybe get another half inch or something yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidewinder Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Wind gusts on I65 were making travel a lot more dangerous this evening. Semi drivers don't slow down and the winds were causing a lot of trucks to swing in and out of their lane, especially those pulling two trailers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 +SN with this snow squall moving through. Sig blowing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 20:1 ratio for sure here. 2.8" total for my best estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Today set the daily maximum snowfall record at MSP of 3". Pretty remarkable. Was shocked to see that. Looks like only 2 other days between Dec and Feb have a lower daily record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Calling it 1.0" for the day. Could be off by a decent amount but no way to know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoof Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Writing this one down as 3.0" total in my snow log, 21" season total now, my average is 38" so not doing too bad with a couple months of winter to go yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Near 3.0" here. Still snowing but very lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Picked up a new foot of snow here over the past 12 hours. Still snowing, and not supposed to completely shut off until late Saturday or Sunday. Snow depth now is about 2 feet, with more to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 We ended up with 2.5" out my way. Right on the edge of my range but this one did weaken a touch as it passed over. Still not too bad though. Edit: looks like Metro ended up with 2.4" per LSR from just past midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Had 2.5" here on 0.15" liquid. A solid 4" of powder on the ground plus velvety drifts (though it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be wind-wise) and now the plowed snowbanks are beginning. We went from "when will it ever snow?" less than a week ago to full-blown mid-winter landscape. No big storms yet, but a glistening winter wonderland makes me very happy . DTW had 2.4", FNT had 1.9", & DTX had 3.0". Overall it would seem that majority of the area had 2-3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Crazy here in GR. Wind 15- 20, gusting to 30, heavy snow. Just went for a walk and there were already some good drifts. Where is Blackrock? He is getting nailed even harder in Spring Lake. Muskegon appears to be the worst/best. Hey, I'm here. Made it home safely this evening after an insane commute home. There were cars in ditches all over the place. It has been dumping here. I may have almost 3 feet on the ground by the time this all ends. I hope so. Writing this one down as 3.0" total in my snow log, 21" season total now, my average is 38" so not doing too bad with a couple months of winter to go yet. Aw man. An avg. of 38 inches? I would hate winters there. Our average of 100 inches a winter here sometimes isn't enough for me. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds a bit low (DTW avg is 42.7") but then again maybe its because you are in spot that rarely gets any LES? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoof Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 That sounds a bit low (DTW avg is 42.7") but then again maybe its because you are in spot that rarely gets any LES? Yep I am in the lake effect doughnut hole of the entire state, although some of that looks worse than it is by being in a radar hole here, lol I've been working on better identifying snow in my radar hole the last few days since I got 1.5" a day or 2 ago from that insane band that was going from Traverse City to Detroit with 0 returns over my location lol it is my new obsession to master the doughnut hole.

Harry Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 This system just became awesome.. Already over the 6" mark and it has been a white out at times. I need to move to where this is more common.. wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Looks like it isn't quite over yet with these lake-effect squalls kicking in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'd estimate at least 3" here. 4" seems attainnable based in the radar with the LES bands getting going. Snowing at a decent clip now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 We picked up another 0.4" overnight. Storm total is 2.9" on 0.16" liquid, snow depth is 4" with plenty of drifts. DTW finished at 2.8", White Lake 3.2"....it really seems like everyone was clustered in that 2.5-3.5" range, though Im sure there were some isolated totals as low as 2" and as high as 4". Really, for the first time in I cant remember when, the models were pretty consistent leading up to the event, and the event performed about exactly as expected. Didnt underperform, didnt overperform. If only all storms could be so lucky lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Had an intense snow squall move through about 4am this morning. Huge snowflakes and whiteout conditions. It only lasted about 5 minutes though. I haven't taken any measurements yet (I'm at work), but I'd estimate that 3"-3.5" is the storm total...

dmc76 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 On average around 3.25" measured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Very drifty out there today. Measuring was actually a bit easier than I thought (plus I had my rain gauge catch and a huge spot cleared off) but overnight drifting everywhere. ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Had just under and inch with the clipper and 3.5" of lake snow last night. Not the most favorable fetch for my area (Damn the Keweenaw). Snow depth is now 37". M-28 between Marquette and Munising closed for a third time in a week. Noticed some depths east of Munising in big snow country between 40-50".... pretty impressive for mid January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Tacked on another 1/2" overnight for 3" total here on the east side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
