Perfect pivot of that blob for your area...congrats on the score! It must be lovely outside...gotta be 1"/hr rates...

Fire hose on full blast for about 2.5 hours. I’m sure it was 1”/hr rates for a while. I have no idea how much is OTG now but I’ll check when I get home. Fortunately the salt has kept the main roads clear.

It would figure that today would be busy at work. Visibility down to half mile. Easily the best snowfall of the year. Would have been much more useful 2 months ago. Looking forward to a snowshoe hike this evening!

Glad you all cashed in. Now you have no reason to complain about this winter lol

Last time I checked, you’re the only one consistently complaining about this winter, so perhaps you should reevaluate your statement. Can’t remember the last time gosaints, stormgeek or SPS were in here complaining.

This was never expected to be much for the CR/IC area, but it didn't even live up to that.  We got under a tenth of an inch of drizzle, followed by a couple tenths of an inch of snow.  This was a classic case of heavy snow well north, heavy rain/storms well southeast, and not much in between.

Says the one who lives and dies by literally every run of every model. Not only on this forum, but on your Facebook page with tens of thousands of followers. I'm almost offended because my Twitter page which is way less emotional only has 200 followers.

N MI is getting pounded from that very intense defo band swinging through.  I took a look at the last 96 images on radar and there was a blob of 30-35dbz returns.  Temps in the mid 20's, wind and heavy snow in early April must have been amazing to experience.  The heaviest stuff has just swung through, but man, that must have been some intense snow for quite a while.

Finally able to use the snowshoes! Here's some pics I took yesterday evening. About 6" on the ground then. The snow really picked up as we headed home. The pine trees always look awesome covered in snow. I especially liked how the young trees in the first pic look sad and depressed under the weight of the snow,

The neighborhood looks great this morning. Just wish it were January and not April. One heck of a stat padder storm! Total for the season was at 24" and we just about got half that in one day. Still about a foot short of average. Can I order up one of these storms for Dec 15th next winter? :D

Dang Snowshoe!  Those pics look amazing!  I remember you posting pics like these during the winter of 2013-14 and it's been quite a long time since you got hit by such a  large storm.  Looks like a powdery snow on top of what was probably a wetter variety towards the beginning of the system.  Congrats again!

Yep, place to be is NEMI with this one. Huron chipping in some qpf and already some places up there over a foot, and still coming down.
