I did not feel well so I went to an urgent care center and lo and behold I tested positive for Covid. This is the first time that I have tested positive. I can’t take Paxlovid as I am taking Eliquis. I will have to see how this plays out. While I was sleeping record highs were set all around west and central Michigan. The new record highs are 54 at Grand Rapids. 59 at Muskegon, 58 at Lansing and 56 at Holland. The official H/L at Grand Rapids yesterday was 54/26 there was 0.01” of rain fall and 58% of possible sunshine. There was rain falling when I woke up this morning and the current temperature is 49 here. For today the average H/L is now up to 34/19 the record high for today is 61 set in 1954 and the record low of -8 was set in 2015 the record snow fall of 4.8” was set in 1990. There now looks to be a rather major snow event for tomorrow here in our area. GR weather station is always a degree or so cooler than surrounding areas. I had 57 with full sun yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, it wasn't much cooler during the first 3 weeks of January, but I think this area is legit done with anything warranting a plow. Whatever action there may be looks to be "just north" of here. I am headed up to TC Sunday so I was hoping this would bury that region like was shown a couple days ago but now it will jack-zone middle of the Mitt instead. Still hope to see some snow OTG.

Stormy Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) Lately It mostly seems like March here. The soil never froze very deep all winter an occasionally it's basically frost free. I even saw a lot of earthworms *last evening and the tulips I planted a few months ago last fall are already poking through on south sides of buildings! Reminds me of the '11 - 2012 winter. What's amazing, and also good and very unusual, is that basically all of our winter precip. has soaked into the ground so far! And it's been a wetter than average winter alleviating the drought.

chescowxman Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Our mild weather continues today into tomorrow morning until a sharp cold front moves across the area which will drop temps during the day tomorrow down into the 20's by late tomorrow night into Saturday morning. We will also see some much needed rain as we have only seen 0.09" of rain on just 2 days this month. We are almost 2" below normal this month. I have heard reports that Marsh Creek Lake is as low as folks have seen it in a long time. The combined lack of snow and rain is taking it's toll. The good news is we could see between 0.50" and 0.75" across Chester County between showers today and then more rain associated with the cold front tomorrow morning. Records for today: High 72 degrees (1954) / Low 2.8 below zero (2015) / 14.7" (2003) as part of the PD2 Blizzard of 2003 when we received 21.3" of snow - this was the 5th largest February snowstorm in Chester County history.

I have to believe we'll get another 1.6 inches of snow at some point to put us in the double digits for the season. But that's a pretty lame goal. What a rotten winter. Hard to believe NYC is still sitting at under 1/2 an inch for the entire season. Could they really go an entire winter without an inch of snow? Winter for kc is over pretty essentially. When we get the cold air is always too late and storms are going too far north or not forming in the right locations for us. We are heading into the 2nd half of February and the LRC suggests we go into the warm boring part pretty soon.

mlgamer Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Even TOP has mentioned this system in this afternoon's (2/16) AFD. I bet we get a storm thread started for this fairly soon. "...By the middle of next week, a more interesting pattern begins to take place as much colder air builds over the Northern Plains and a deep upper trough digs into the western US. Low pressure should eventually developing in the lee of the Rockies and sweep northeast across the Plains, with the eventual impacts to our area depending on the track and strength of the low. Given current ensemble probabilities, we seem more likely to stay on the warm side of the system, but there`s plenty of time to allow these details to come into focus." 3 Quote 23-24 seasonal snow total: 17.8" (as of 3/9/24) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issued at 217 PM CST Thu Feb 16 2023 Next week: The primary feature of interest next week is an amplifying longwave trough over the western U.S., which is well resolved by both the ensembles and deterministic models. An associated shortwave trough is forecast to eject northeast from that trough into the northern and central Plains by about next Wednesday with the WPC indicating a 30-50% probability of > 0.25" liquid- equivalent across the northern half of our area between 6 AM Wednesday and 6 AM Thursday. It`s quite possible, if not likely, that the timing and track of that shortwave trough will change between now and then. Nonetheless, the current models indicate the potential for another accumulating snow event by the middle of next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
