michsnowfreak Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 What a weird day. Freezing rain north and snow south with a clipper that tracked way north. In Farmington Hills, Id say there was 0.1", MAYBE 0.2" of snow and snow pellets (.2 is being generous), then on the way home, not til right around the airport is there snow on the tree limbs and DTW picked up 0.7" today, then in Wyandotte even a bit more with 0.9", snow on the trees, and people shoveling. The snow even has that brighter look down here. Keepin' the glacier fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The 6" of snow left is now dirty frozen crust. Need a refresher to make it look good again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been getting some mist for the past few hours which now is starting to freeze over since the temperature dropped, my street is like an ice skating rink.

BuffaloWeather Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 20 min drive home from work took 75 mins due to the heavy snow from the cold front that hit exactly at rush hour. Why couldn't they hit earlier or later and not always at rush hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottawa Blizzard Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 20 min drive home from work took 75 mins due to the heavy snow from the cold front that hit exactly at rush hour. Why couldn't they hit earlier or later and not always at rush hour. Better PM rush hour than AM rush hour in my opinion. I'm not a fan of having to get up earlier to dig out the car.

Snowstorms Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Got 0.5" today. Nice icing on the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Some pretty strong winds have been blasting across Iowa all evening. Latest gust out of Iowa City is 49mph. That's pretty impressive. Winds have picked up here as well. Probably gusting over 30mph at times. Down to 14. Gonna be a cold one tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Only picked up 0.1" of swirly snow last night, so 1.0" total with the earlier snow...and the deep snowpack looks plenty fresh again (though naturally it is still a glacier underneath the top layer). Saturdays clipper looking better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 rough night here. 5" of snow from afternoon thru this morning. winds have been so strong I could barely see 20' out the window. lots of road closures and schools too which rarely happen here. MQT is saying prepare for worse conditions tomorrow night. Might get a blizzard warning then perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 snow is finally wrapping up here and shifting east. total has been about 6.5" of a dense, sugary type snow. have had to carve snow out to keep a couple windows visible. starting to feel a little bit like the shinning up here. snow depth 45" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 just got snow cleaned up from last night and here we go again! Fri night/Saturday looks to be a brutally cold/windy/snowy period. another 5-8" looking likely. at this rate, going to end up with 5' of snow by March!

michsnowfreak Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 yet another sunset to photograph as the brutal cold moved in. It looked cool with the sun setting behind the mountains of plowed snow in the distance lol. This could have been an AWESOME pic if I had my camera with me.

weatherbo Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 bracing for a pretty rough weekend in these parts. while not a ton of snow, 5-8" new snow around here, the wind and cold combined with the 20-25+" over the past week will create some the most dangerous winter weather there is. could well be some of the worst conditions I have ever witnessed. The UP 200 dog sled race starts tonight in Marquette and heads east to Grand Marias. it's going to be brutal along m-28, where another closure is certain. several miles of ice and snow on the lake will cripple that area. looks like Superior may well freeze up tight next week and beyond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
