weatherbo Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Just now, (((Will))) said: -.- The whole time you drive up the lower peninsula...you can't wait to hit the UP. Then you do - and you still have 6 hours left. But welcome back to the right side of the bridge when you get here! Once I’m across the bridge, it feels like home. My house is 4 hours from the bridge, however, and I see it’s snowing there too. In Petoskey now. Someone in Charlevoix County is going to see a foot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Made it home... asshole in permanent pucker. Heavy wet snow from Cadillac to the bridge and very heavy snow in Antrim and Charlevoix counties, especially just south of Petoskey. I'll be interested to see a total snowfall map. Once we crossed the bridge the temp went from 32 to the low 20's pretty quick with howling winds and blowing snow. Thankfully most of the meaningful snow had ended by then. Winds along the lakeshore from Munising to Marquette seemed easily gale force. It was hard at times to keep the truck on the road... thank God for rumble strips! Once west of Marquette in the higher terrain, ran back into heavier and deeper snow on the road but made it home no problem. 13 degrees, snowing and blowing. Happy New Year you guys! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueWaves Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Had a person say their cottage in Oscoda Cnty got 12" tho the largest official report seemed to be a 10.5" from Suttons Bay. Certainly some unreported lollies may well have happened with the region much less densely populated than SMI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Wet light snow this afternoon and more dangerous freezing drizzle this evening on the backside of the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyweather Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Stayed in Wausau, WI to ski over the holiday. Nothing but ever so light flurries occasionally yesterday and a howling wind last night just before the slopes closed, enough to make it feel otherworldly up on top of the ski hill (about 500-600’ above the base). Drove back to northern IL today and stopped in Madison for lunch. Madison was plastered, snow was heavy and wet. Super photogenic to be sure. By the time I hit home/the IL-WI stateline, nothing but a dusting/coating. Madison was square in the jackpot zone by how it looked driving through the snow swath from north to south. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming nothing else gets confirmed in another state later on that day, it will also be the first time that the final tornado of the year occurs in Indiana. As you might expect, the last tornado of the year almost always tends to occur in one of the southern states. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when a bliz hits the region a month later, you can start some lore regarding winter twisters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
