2/24-2/26 Snow (Ring the doorbell so the big dog wakes up!!!)


Madtown

Recommended Posts

MAYBE a sloppy inch on the ground, probably less. Been dry slotted all night. 31.6*F.

Varied wildly for me this morning. A sloppy half inch at best on cement. The 1.8" I measured was on the deck. Looks like about an inch more since 4am, grass covered now.

 

Radar trends look like game on for you really soon.

Yup, filling back in nicely and I see light snow outside my window once again.

Looking at the water vapor loop, it's easy to see why this system didn't amount to much for much of the central US.  It's pretty positively tilted and strung out.  It will be more impressive once it reaches Canada and that northern wave dives in behind it.

It's really going to take off once the energy phases.  It's a shame that rarely happens around here.

 

WOOF! WOOF!  Big Dog wakes up alright...for Canada Peeps  ;)

Snowing moderately, temp at 29F. Will be snowing all day into late tanite (midnight) or so. Canceled my flight to Boston for later today due to inclement weather. I guess its worth it not missing this snowstorm (I think) :lol: ;)

Just measured 2.1" on my deck...surprised to even have that much.  Took a look at the local radar loop and it hasn't stopped snowing since about 4:30pm yesterday which in my book is about as good of a win from this system as one could expect.

 

Wow, you did alright over there. Due to a 7 hr lull in anything meaningful (04z-11z) I gained very little while I slept. Measured just 1.3" when I stepped out for work. Pretty disappointed in that tbh. Per my airport unit, it's been a pretty good stretch since 8 am tho, so there should be more to measure when I get home. Here in Jackson, the cars have perhaps an inch? (since 8 am)

The fact that the temperature is holding steady between 33.6*F and 34.0*F isn't doing me any favors. Light snow but those temps aren't helping it accumulate much, if at all, and the parking lot is either wet or slush.

Coming down moderate to hvy at times, blowing snow as well. Not sure I can tell from my window, but looks like more than 3 inches have fallen and counting. I will measure lata on tanite......Im thinking 6" or better should be doable by the time it all ends by midnight. We will see. Complete Winter Wonderland out there! Winds are gusty as well. Temp at 27F.

Remember the post I made where I said temps were too warm? Yeah, well.... Temps have dropped sharply. The slush on the roads that was previously not an issue flash froze, and snow is falling on top of that. Roads are a disaster here. 23°F.

Amazing what just a couple degrees does! And yeah, blowing everywhere here, driveway has anywhere from a quarter inch to well over 6. Best measurement I have here in a protected area non-drift is 5 inches, so that's what I'm going with so far.

 

Edit: Which makes me happy after seeing the late morning dry slot (third of the storm and first un-forecast) which definitely dashed my hopes.

Was at 4.5" imby as of 7 pm. As expected (and all too common this winter) there was a ton of melting on concrete due to the 3 day torch beforehand. Shoveled my driveway which had 3" over 1/2" of slush. Salted streets/roads had much less than that even. Not complaining ofc, especially with so many of our Sub Peeps getting shafted by the models.

Level 2 snow emergency has now been declared for my county. That means people should only travel if they absolutely need to. Don't think we'll get to level 3, which means that all roads are closed to non-emergency personnel.

Gonna run into OT per GRR:

 

 

 

.UPDATE...
Issued at 709 PM EST Wed Feb 26 2020

I have extended the Winter Weather Advisory until 10 pm for the
eastern two thirds of the previous advisory area. At 7 pm snow
was still falling at Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Lansing and Jackson.
Our hi resolution models suggest it may take until 10 pm for the
snow to end in Jackson. Looking at MDOT web cams and travel
conditions on area roads and highways it`s clear the falling
temperatures are increasing travel issues in those counties. I
could see another inch of snow falling in the I-69 area before it
all ends around 10 pm or so.

I do want to point out roads will become more icy tonight as
temperatures continue to fall so even after the snow ends drivers
will have to be very careful driving on area roads.

I increased the pop and snowfall with the lake effect after
midnight tonight as it is snowing on the Wisconsin side of the
Lake, that is usually a sign that more vigorous snow showers
should be expected on this side of the lake once winds turn more
northwest from the current due north direction. Also the 18z
NAMNESt shows decent lift in the DGZ into Friday morning. With
winds in the boundary layer around 30 knots, that will carry the
snow bands well inland once winds are more northwest, which will
be true by midday Thursday. The bottom line is IT WILL SNOW. No
question in my mind about that. It`s more about how much.

OH is the only state around here that does so many levels of snow emergencies. Seems like they're always triggering some of the lower ranking ones. I've seen snow emergencies in parts of the Mitt, but only during CAT-4 storms (or above ofc). Side/back roads are pretty much impassable by that point.
