CentralNebWeather Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 I shouldn't be surprised, but the models totally whiffed in this area. Not a flake. As late as last night's NWS Hastings disco, they were calling for up to 1 1/2" of snow. GFS did horribly. Canadian always had it dry for days, they nailed it. Short term models started trending drier last evening, and continued through this morning. Got my hopes up, and again we were missed. In this entire great setup this week, we got about 1/2" bringing our unbelievable yearly snowfall to a whopping 7". Wow. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaster220 Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 5 hours ago, Niko said: This looks like a 3-6in snowfall widespread here in S MI (north of Detroit), roughly from Macomb to Romeo. Detroit is looking at 2-4" or maybe slightly more. Looks like a decent event and a nighttime one as most of the snow falls in the evening and early Friday. It will be a cold snowstorm also. Prolly NOT down here in the Metro per DTX The usual P-type issues that plague far SEMI with every storm coming into play. Highest totals north of M-59 (SHOCKER!) Quote The better moisture and thus higher QPF values are expected to reside along and south of I69 with values ranging between .20 to .30 inches by the end of the event. Models continue to show a shallow dgz between 600 to 500 mb with a lofty "warm" nose down to the near surface, bringing about riming concerns which would lower snow ratios. Additionally, an elevated dry slot will also start to strip moisture away from the DGZ around 02-03Z through 09Z, which will hamper snow ratios further and may even bring a period of freezing drizzle.

gimmesnow Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Nice les power falling all morning at alpine valley but the warm and rain ruined the base from before pretty bad. If it wasn't for that heat and rain last Monday, today would be amazing, but it's still pretty good if you're skilled enough to deal with icy spots. Think we can break 20 for the season with this, almost to half of normal. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmahaSnowFan Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 It's a bit hard to measure between the bare areas on the concrete and the 'covered areas", but if I had to guess an average of my 5 measurements, I'd say maybe .1" so far here. Still some flakes so we might make it up to .11" of new snowfall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes- system is over performing. 2.1" at KDSM through 5pm. have a legit shot at 4". Ratio is very high-- likely high teens to 20:1. Will find out in an hour when I melt the 8" and I will post the results.
