Minny_Weather Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 OH is the only state around here that does so many levels of snow emergencies. Seems like they're alway triggering some of the lower ranking ones. I've seen snow emergencies in parts of the Mitt, but only during CAT-4 storms (or above ofc). Side/back roads are pretty much impassable by that point. Someone can dump ice cubes on the road and they'll issue a level 1. This is the first time since I've lived here that there was a level 2. 1 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

jaster220 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Looks like IN/MI did alright with this storm system... Yep. Not bad at all compared to elsewhere. Ended up with 4.9" so those last-minute models showing 5" around my area verified nicely. I do question that map a bit as it's indicating 6+ line a bit eastward from Marshall and here on the west side of Jackson where my office is, we had the same I did at home. I did see some 6+ reports around here but a bit further east in Jackson cnty. 1 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
