Jealous of the lake effect event in Western Michigan, but it was definitely a long time coming for them. Seems like every year the UP has no problem getting a good lake effect event but it's been a few years for Western lower.

 

Did pick up a light dusting of 0.1" this morning, otherwise a frozen crust of 1 to 2" on the ground as we are cold and dry. Season is at 12.7" in my backyard and 13.2" at DTW. Took some close up pictures of snowflakes this morning.

We had a couple weeks of decent snowpack last year in early February, but none of the events were bullseyes.  It was all 4" events on the fringe of a 10"+ events missing south and east.  They just added up because it was cold and didn't melt.  Couldn't complain after a lousy December and January.  Haven't had a LES event this good since 2014.  2014 was too good to be true though.  It was like the late 1970s came back briefly.

I think GRR is going to pass 14" for the storm total.  The back edge is only a few miles to the north and creeping closer, but this current band is putting out a grand finale as it exits.  1-2" per hour rates.  Big dendrites.  Super high ratios.

Good for you enjoy!!!

Looking forward to the polar vortex visiting at the end of the month with bare ground.

Yes, to confirm I meant lake effect events. We had a great snow pack last February too.  And I agree, 2014 was too good to be true. Can't believe it was 8 years ago now.

Living on a near treeless hilltop I have absolutely no idea how much snow fell yesterday and today.  This morning I had bare ground and drifts over the top of my snow plow.  I am gong to have to go with the NWS average for my area but with less wind today I am sure the bare ground is getting covered up.  Sure looks like winter out there.

 

These pics are from last night.  I didn't get any pics this morning.

Keep that band moving south, please. So far just flurries here.

It should get there eventually.  Probably Niles will be hit harder, but a good dominant band can carry inland a bit more even with winds slacking off.  The sun just came out here briefly.  Flakes totally stopped.
