1/23 - 1/26 Two Wave Major Winter Storm

Recommended Posts

The total snow on my three snow boards is 6.8", 4", and 3".  I'm going with 6.8" :) .  I'll never know exactly what I got, but there's no way I only got 3-4".  I really need to find additional spots in which to measure following windy storms.  Maybe I can still use all the current boards, but add a couple boards in some drifty spots downwind and average them all.

6.8 seems to do relatively well with the CR consensus of about 6" anyways. I saw a couple 8s on the north side this morning, but I'm not super confident in the reliability of those.

2021-22 Snowfall: (Hiawatha)

TOTAL: 10.2"

(12/28: 3.0") (12/29: 0.8")

Here in Hudsonville, where I am at now, there is about 3.5 to 4 inches, although it is hard to measure due to a bit of drifting. I would guess it is close to 4 though. Still coming down pretty good, so might end up with 5 to 6 inches or so, which is pretty decent this year. Radar is starting to get holes in it though.

Awesome, another MI poster.  Welcome!  We just had a heavy band move through NE GR.  1-2" an hour of fluffy stuff.  Measure 4.3" storm total so far (compacted).

2nd largest 24 and 48hr storm in history there. That is saying something! What is shocking is first place.......19.8" in one day for Lincoln?!

Yeah most measurements bury the ruler at my place so I'd go with 13-15". My car was parked on the street and I got stuck like 8 times in the process of getting out and trying to drive down the street, I'm calling into work tonight. My neighborhood has spots a foot deep in the middle of the road I'd never get out of here.

Of course I knew I wouldn't get 20+ like some of the Kuchera maps had, but this was still on the higher end of realistic guidance/forecasts. Even Norfolk got 6-7", so farther north solutions verfied. Falls City area only got 4-6" after being in the 12-18" zone for several days, ouch. They had some mixing issues I believe.

Crazy to think that! Jim Flowers was all over the fact that the models were way south with their prediction. It shows how experienced he is in the weather department. He even called the wrap around before any of the local mets picked up on it! I also give credit to the canadian and euro model. They pretty much nailed the storm from 5 days out. The GFS was south south the whole way.

ORD FINALLY managed to score a 6" storm total with a final 2-day tally of exactly 6.0".  It appears N COOK where I reside was near the epicenter of highest totals.  There was a very sharp cut-off just south of the I-80 corridor.  All in all, it was a pleasant storm even though it started off kinda shaky at the onset.  Most of the heaviest snowfall happened between midnight and 8:00am.  The models really didn't account for the northward bump till last minute.  By in large, I think the Euro/EPS (and Canadian for that matter) did the best sniffing this storm 5+ days out, then the remaining models caught onto the storm.  Inside 3 days, there were shifts back n forth but none of them except for inside 24 hours really accounted for the northward jog.

With the 2-3" more of snow last night, we have 14-15" on the ground.  Most snow on the ground since Feb. 3rd, 2016.  Local sheriff reports county roads still in rough shape, and I can say that town streets weren't much better this morning.  Hopefully we get a repeat late next week.  GFS and Canadian weren't really on board with the 12z runs.  Will look to the Euro and then see how things change in the coming week.  If nothing else, it looks like a very active pattern.  Around here, late January - early April tend to be our best storms.  Many dynamic storms/blizzards in this time frame.
