jaster220 Posted December 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 I can see them putting my area in a Winterstorm Warning by later this afternoon. 1st things 1st, you may get a Watch (blue boxer you!) 3 to 5 inches for all locations except the Thumbis expected. A very healthy fgen band will bring potential for 6 inches or more. The potentialplacement of this band is expected to be somewhere between M-59 and the Michigan border with in/oh.A winter storm watch will be given strong consideration with the 4pm forecast issuance. Finally -lake-effect wrapping in on the back side of the low will give potential for a few additional inchesin portions of the Thumb making up for what is expected to be lighter daytime accumulations.

Niko Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 I'm not holding my breath but it would be nice to cover the grass tips...LOL....of which, will probably all melt by the weekend anyway. MI is in the prime spot right now for the next 5 days until around the Solstice period things getting more interesting the farther west you go.Probably even beyond that as my extended shows snowy weather even b4 Solstice period and on into Christmas day. There will have to be a storm to watch on that timeframe. Quote Snowfall for Winter 2023 -24 for Metro Detroit Area Oct 2023: 0.2" AN Nov 2023: 2.2" AN Dec 2023: 0.5" BN Insane!

Tom Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 ....still buying Tom, but first it was the 5th then the 16th, now the 21st ish. Hope it works, but the snow deficit grows up to about 10" below normal now.What do you mean?? Are you referring to potential systems to track for YBY? If so, I was always a believer the 4th/5th Blitz to be a hard cutter, the 16th-18th to track NW of Chi (but may actually be right over head) and the Winter Solstice storm to be more of a player farther south. We’ll see how it goes from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madtown Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Not just for Mby. Not referring to specific storms either. Northern WI got off to a quick start in Nov, but not enough snow to even open trails yet. Mich is scoring big, but outside of there pretty blah as we head into mid to late December. For what was supposed to be an above avg snow year for 90% of Wisco, there is no way we make up a 10" difference (mby) and pull ahead to above avg. numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
