Up_north_MI Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 If this storm does put down another decent snowfall of 3-6 inches on top of the 8 or 9 inches we currently have on the ground here at Higgins it would give us our deepest snow depths of the season aside from the Christmas time storm. Most years our deepest snow depths are the first week or so of March so this winter season would follow the “norm” and continue that pattern. Locals and the media up here are still talking about how warm this winter has been though, lots of people compare it to the 2011/2012 winter. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimmesnow Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Hope this rain dies down, going to be carnage out here for ski hills with no cold in the forecast to make more snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimmesnow Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 What a bummer that this is going to be so much rain for so many people who just got a massive snowstorm. I hate to sound greedy but I wish we got this last storm way earlier and this one either didn't show up or was much colder. Not good to see northern Wisconsin in the danger zone of rain.

Tom Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 This is going to be a fast tracking storm out of the S Plains up into the Lakes later tonight into tomorrow. Some models have it deepening into the 970's??? Crazy! 0z GFS gets it down to mid 970's right over C IA...possible TOR could spin up across the S burbs of Chicago tomorrow morning... @Black Hole @Iceresistance @OKwx2k4....this is the time of year you start gearing up for Spring mode and what a way to close out met Winter... @Madtown....got the hot hand up in this region... @Bellona are you close to getting in on some action? @Up_north_MIcould do really good in the snow dept... 0z EPS...

gimmesnow Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Accuweather seems to think up to 6 inches at Cascade before the rain comes, which would be amazing as the rain would eat the fresh snow first before eating the base. But none of the models really seem to show it, I have no idea where they're getting it from. Kind of a really weird call. Interesting to see if it verifies but I think they are crazy.

WinterSquall23 Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Mix up here. Looks like it’s snowing NE and SE around me. Although I can’t confirm. ! No more ice, please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tStacsh Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Had some ice on the cars this morning in the pouring rain. Roads were fine though. Raining heavily. Hoping it melts some of the solid ice/sleet pack on my driveway as I never cleared it before the refreeze last week. Having twin boys really takes a toll on your back. And i can't snowblower this ice at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Around 1.40" total rainfall here. It started just before midnight with quite a bit of thunder and lightning as the first band or two moved in. There was quite a bit of standing water during the rain at dawn, but not a lot of runoff. It soon soaked into the soil as the warmth yesterday and this rain helped thaw it out just in time again, though it wasn't frozen deeply to begin with. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaster220 Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Lost track LOL, but iirc this is the 4th straight snowstorm for the region of SEMI also known as the northern tier of DTX's zone. No real staying power of the snow cover but talk about an active and fun stretch. Sure balancing out the winters when I-94 was the focus. Meanwhile down here, just a bunch of (much needed) liquid. 1 Quote Winter 2022-23 Snow Total = 27.5" Largest Storm: 7.5" (1/25) Oct: 0.0 Nov: 1.5 Dec: 5.2 Jan: 11.1 Feb: 2.0 Mar: 8.2 Apr: 0.0 Annual avg for mby = 45.0" (KDTW): 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...
