Frog Town Posted December 31, 2025 Share Posted December 31, 2025 45 minutes ago, Chinook said: It looks like the Detroit general area is getting into more accumulating snow now Does NW Ohio live in a radar gap or does the system truly depend that much on lake enhancement that the returns weaken that dramatically in our area? Seeking the expertise of an actual met. I mean, it's still snowing, but has nowhere near the returns it had 10 miles before entering NW Ohio.. Thanks!!

The NWS radars work well for something like 60+ miles with the low altitude snow, including lake effect snow. Then, I think they overshoot the clouds and snowflakes. You can see it all over the region. It's pretty commonly a problem with detecting lake effect snow. Also, areas in the vicinity of Findlay have the least accurate tornado warnings, given the fact that tornado warnings mainly come from radar. That's bad, but worse radar holes for severe weather exist in the plains such as east of Dallas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnwx85 Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Picked up an inch before switching to freezing drizzle. 28 degrees so it’s creating a glaze pretty efficiently on the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueWaves Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Estimating 2.5" here from last evening. 17.1" for the month is 124% average and my second straight AN December. Ended up being an active/stormy holiday season after all - managed to keep power - zero complaints. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago The New Years Eve snow dropped anywhere from 1.5-3" in southeast MI. It was glittery and beautiful. Both here & DTW picked up 2.1" last evening. Its incredible how well we do the nickel and dime. Now time for a big one. December snow totaled 11.6" here, season to date 17.3". At DTW December snow totaled 10.9" with 16.8" season to date. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
