March 1st-2nd Plains to Great Lakes Snowstorm


Geos

Recommended Posts

It's really going to town here. Definitely over 4" now. I bet some of this is from the lake, visibility dropped under 1/4 mile here.

Visibility doesn't seem all that bad from what I am seeing!

Nice snowfall.

 

I couldn't see the end of my block at times and the next cross street is about 1000 feet down the road.

 

5.3" total. Not quite what I was expecting, but pretty good considering 40% of that fell in 2 hours.

Currently at 6.1" and counting. Snowing a good half inch an hr now with 1"/hr @ times. By looking at the radar, I still have couple more hours of snow, so a 8-12inch sounds just about right. My snowblower is on standby.

 

Jaster, how much snow you got?

For mby:

 

1.5 WAA

0.3 Mix

3.5 The Defo-ripper!

0.5 LES

5.8 Total

 

Lansing looks solid 10" range to my eyes, and I had my evening commute coincide with the worst of that heavy ripping stuff! 1/8 to sometimes 1/16th SMI visibility, people pushing cars at intersections, semi's stuck in the industrial park streets, x-way down to a single lane at times, and I-94 (near Jackson) the worst I've ever seen it. By far the worst conditions I've driven in quite some time. Of course, Jan '14 happened on a weekend so I only drove around town that day. That's perhaps the last time it was anything like yesterday's event. Crazy!

 

Had this slowed down a little it would've been bigger than last week's storm, and better for that matter. Still hated shoveling my drive with a melted slush-fest underneath. Totally hate that stuff. City heat in the ground is hard to loose at my place. Already early bulb flowers were up about 1.5" - noticed them Sunday.

 

Footnote, highest official report was a couple 14" totals out of Barry Cnty to my NW. My place was 1/2 a county too far SE and got a lot of dry slotting/mix.
