WinterSquall23 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Winter wonderland here eyeballing about 6” here. ; Nice little surprise ! 31 degrees now. Snow is pasted on our trees, really cool to see. Rain might stay away from us. Almost skied down our hill with shoes.

Meanwhile, going on 2 years since I've even had a 5" storm here. Pretty crazy for living around I-80 and not in a place that's prone to dryness. I had record depth in Feb 2021 and also had deep snowcover in Feb 2022, so definitely been paying for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pros3lyte Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Been all snow for about 5 hours here- maybe only 2.5 inches so far. But it’s really heavy and power is going in and off - outages starting to ramp up all over. DTX still maintaining a switch over to rain for the thumb but has t happened yet. Luckily I filled up 2 of my gas cans for the generator. Hopefully won’t need em! EDIT: so I was wrong. Went out and measured and we’re at 4 inches 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had a chance to even look at this storm, but read very few posts on here, but still not aware of what is going on, but I do know that this is a big storm.

Very glad to see you guys in SEMI getting in on the action - finally. Left work at 5:40 and it was just getting started with under an inch. This was a much drier snow with tiny flakes than on Tuesday. Drove south and it just got heavier and heavier. Was scraping bottom of my car on the exit ramp. Public roads freshly plowed in town here, but I live on a short private street and it was not touched, not even someone else's vehicle tracks. Snow was too deep to go up the slight incline of my driveway so I was stuck sideways in our street. Good thing I picked up that $12 shovel the other day. It worked perfectly to dig my way into the garage, lol. Not sure what time it started down here, but if at 5 pm then we've gotten pounded with 7-8" in the last 4 hours. I'm officially snowed-in until the snow removal contractor can get around to plowing our street. We are down at lake level and there is quite a hill to get up and out.

jaster220 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 APX confirms we are getting the "East Coast treatment" Primary Forecast Concerns: Snow/wind and related impacts. Isentropically driven light snow is currently spreading across parts of northern Michigan this afternoon. Increasingly strong warm advection and frontogenetic forcing late this afternoon/evening are expected to aid in bringing a robust swath of snow into southeastern portions of the forecast area by early-mid evening. Very high snowfall rates (likely convectively aided with potential embedded thunder), especially east of Interstate 75, are expected within this heavy snow with HREF means of 2.5-3"/hr as that band of snow works northward through the evening.

jaster220 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 9 hours ago, Stacsh said: Major bust here in GR. 5 inches maybe Yep. Dbl-barrelled Low "fooled" the pro's. Been a long time since I've seen one, and iirc they can happen with an EC Low and an OHV Low which put SEMI in the same favorable position that SEIA and SWI enjoyed with this storm. For up here, at least it was still a decent storm, just not the "once in 30 yrs historic event" touted by APX. Seems like it is always something working against the Big Dog outcome for SMI. Having said all that, back-to-back 8-10" storms in a "strong Nino" is impressive in it's own way. Difficult to eye-ball depth from a 2nd story window and drifting off the lake ice due to the strong N winds again adding to the mix but my guestimate of a 9-10" total here seems about right. You can clearly see there was a swath of 8-15" right along the glacial ridge that runs SW to NE right through this region. Neighbors unburying their Mercedes. Why they don't garage it is beyond me. 2 1 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 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...
Tom Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 My bro is driving up 196 to Holland and it’s snowing rather hard off the lake. Should be a nice couple days of Lake Effect! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FV-Mike Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 It has been a while since we had 13- 14 inches on the ground. I know the closer you get to the lake the less but in an El nino year this has been a good week 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
