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

OH is the only state around here that does so many levels of snow emergencies. Seems like they're alway 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. 

Someone can dump ice cubes on the road and they'll issue a level 1. This is the first time since I've lived here that there was a level 2.

Was about to go measure when I realized the snow doesn't want to say goodbye to Macomb County just yet, rates picked back up. Here's the deck currently.

Looks like IN/MI did alright with this storm system...

 

Yep. Not bad at all compared to elsewhere. Ended up with 4.9" so those last-minute models showing 5" around my area verified nicely. I do question that map a bit as it's indicating 6+ line a bit eastward from Marshall and here on the west side of Jackson where my office is, we had the same I did at home. I did see some 6+ reports around here but a bit further east in Jackson cnty.

I forgot to report back! I was just shy of 6". Felt like a mid-January day driving to work yesterday with all the blowing/drifting. Even saw a couple small snow whirls!
