Northland09 Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Had a dusting of snow here last night. Covered up the decks and lawn pretty good, pavement was too warm for it to stick though. All of it has already melted. Wishing that the snow in our yard would just melt already! This would be the perfect time to get out there and start cleaning it up. Oh well, we'll get there eventually Hope everyone is well and not going too stir crazy yet! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A glance at the long range says this will not be the last chance either.Most guidance is pushing the heavier snows further south, so yes, we are looking at more snow. Very curious as to what it will look like outside tomorrow morning. In Macomb, I am already AN snowfall (at 43.6"). Detroit is not all that far off I believe. Maybe getting them to near normal, hard to believe that, since, D,J,F were so mild here. Weird Winter and still managed to be AN snowfall for my area and going for a near average snowfall for Detroit, Metro. Honestly, this is impressive. 1 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! Jan 2024: 17.0" AN Feb 2024: 1.9" BN Insane!

bud2380 Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 I'm surprised we never got any posts from Bud in North Liberty during/following the strong storms a couple days ago.I’ve been buried at work working on our companies response to this virus and my rain gauge broke so I couldn’t even report my rain totals. I’m also getting prepared to move a few miles down the road to Tiffin. So soon I’ll have a new location to report from. I see snow is breaking out in earnest south of I-80. I’d love to see a few flakes just to set the mood. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormy Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Snow is starting to wind down finally. Went out to measure and it varies from about none to 3.5” . Lol it’s pretty white outside though. On the lawns there’s roughly 2” and part of the driveway which was shaded from a building and still cold had 3.5” and the part that isn’t shaded pretty much melted as it fell. Large sticky flakes made for an uneven surface varying around 1/2”. Without any melting there probably would be around 4”. Not sure what I should call it, but I’ll probably go with 2”. It’s not an exact science with this event. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest, I'm very grateful to be out here instead of back home. If the information is true regarding the impact of the sun, UV rays and temps, I'm hopeful that when temps warm up next week into the mid/upper 80's that the spread subsides around these parts.

CentralNebWeather Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 NWS afternoon disco, potential heavy, wet snow, windy storm potential this weekend. Ok then. Surface: The final and deepest low will eject SW-NE acrsKS Fri night and into IA Sat. The 12Z EC/GFS-FV3 are very similaron the track and intensity around 990 mb 12Z/Sat-00Z/Sun. If thisis correct...we may have a heavy/wet snow and wind problem on our hands. Precip: The way things arelooking now...steady rain will overspread the CWA Fri night andchange to snow before ending Sat. Suggest everyone keep a close eye on the fcst Fri night into Satas things are currently looking threatening foraccumulating/plastering wet heavy snow and windy conds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
