jaster220 Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 Had to jaunt west to Marshall this pm. Was waiting at McD's drive-thru in Chelsea when a few flakes wafted down. Then about 30 miles east I briefly had snow blowing around on 94 in Calhoun cnty. Quite the surprise for sure. Quote .UPDATE... Issued at 704 PM EST Sun Dec 5 2021 Our current headlines are working out very nicely. Looking at the MiDrive map nearly all of the major roads in the advisory area have significantly reduced speeds at 630 pm. Conditions are most impactful near Clare currently. The rain/snow line seems to be near Route 10. Surface temperatures are at or below freezing from near I-96 north (more so near and east of US-131 actually). Still it looks like the area of showers /freezing rain/ snow will be out out of the area by 11 pm based on the both radar trends and hi-res model data. It would seems temperatures will not rise above 32 degrees over most of the advisory area until occluded front comes through, which will be in the 10 pm to midnight time frame. Based on the timing of when the precipitation exits the area, I may extend the Winter Weather Advisory until midnight. I plan on waiting until 9 pm or so to see what the trends look like then. Seems good to give the forecast a chance to work. Also I increased the risk for snow showers to near 100 percent Monday near US-131. Given the amount of cold air coming in, the DGZ being saturated and there is strong lift into the DGZ, not to mention all hi-res models all show it, it will snow near US-131 Monday from midday into the overnight. There is a secondary cold front that comes through mid morning that will kick of the better snow showers. @Stacsh@westMJim See above update. Sounding better for the LES tomorrow over your way.

Seems the Euro had inflated totals or not?? I saw a few flakes today, does that count, lol? Seriously tho, those earlier Euro runs showing sig snows across SMI (yeah the teasers Tom posted) were perhaps less than 5F off on the thermal profile from that happening. I think any later into the season and we'd at least had enough frozen for a headline. RN and 32-35F on the car thermo all afternoon with a nice stiff ESE wind flags were blowing straight-away. It was nice to see storminess even if just a near miss with the wintry side of this one. I like this from APX. Some comic relief in their pm AFD Quote Pattern Synopsis/Forecast: This morning`s surface analysis shows the lovely low pressure system already bringing snow to the region as of midday. Actual low pressure center is in SE North Dakota, on the cusp of a little more potent of a niblet in the northern stream, in the broader troughing across the northern CONUS east of the Rockies. Occluded front extends SSE from the surface low to a triple point in western Iowa; warm front extends more or less east-ish from there into Kentucky, while a cold front extends back through southern Nebraska back through Wyoming, with another low pressure in southern Montana. An additional cold front has been analyzed to the north of the low, across the southern Canadian prairies, associated with the thermal gradient aloft and cold advection into the backside of the low. High pressure remains across the eastern US attm...allowing for a tighter pressure gradient across the Great Lakes. 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...

Very nice congrats! I always liked how the first snows up north were often significant events and I especially like how this trended south in the end enough to make much of The Mitt wintry. As much as I would've liked the Euro to be correct when it flashed another snow event down here, I know from experience a strong system this time of year has NMI written all over it.

jaster220 Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 I was a bit gun-shy to call for "a footer" in parts of NMI after seeing SR model trends, but my gut feeling ended up being accurate (nice feeling).

Wasn't expecting that! DTX pm AFD Quote The combination of low level cold air advection in the wake of the cold front this morning and the growth of the planetary boundary layer from daytime heating resulted in very windy conditions across Southeast Michigan. The main absolute vorticity anomaly was lagged off of the cold front which resulted in a convective response within a narrow zone of vertical ascent that tracked through the cwa between 16-19Z. The forcing was progressive with an impressive snow squall response of very short duration at any one location. Short, but potent. 1/2" new snow and first after work brush-n-scrape required on the car for this winter. Slowly, we step down into real winter. Just a bumpy ride getting there it appears. 2 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...

Definitely starting to look a lot like Christmas out your way. We’re planning our first snowmobile ride later this week, probably Thursday evening or Friday. Our trails opened December 1st here in Michigan so the groomers should have enough time to get the trails panned by Friday hopefully. Lake effect really kicked into gear today after the front went through, some areas should be pushing 20” of fresh snow by tomorrow afternoon between what fell yesterday and today making a great start to the winter sports season. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple bands of snow showers remain over the area this evening. Localized, briefly heavier snow showers will have the potential to drop visibilities below one mile and cover untreated roads. With temperatures now below freezing across much of the area, the likelihood of snow sticking on untreated surfaces is increasing. Those traveling this evening should be prepared for variable driving conditions and visibility, along with gusty winds up to 30 mph.

jaster220 Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 Gotta love it when 1"/hr rates means things are quieting down. AFDAPX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Gaylord MI 941 PM EST Mon Dec 6 2021 .UPDATE... Issued at 933 PM EST Mon Dec 6 2021 Conditions trying to slowly improve out there this evening with slowly decreasing wind speeds and a trend for more disorganized lake effect. Still, transit bands of one inch per hour snowfall and remnant gusty winds no doubt causing some hazardous driving conditions in our typical snowbelt locations. Most persistent snow bands remain off Lake Superior, with a general westward drift suggesting several more hours of decent, albeit transit, heavier snow showers rotating across eastern upper snowbelts. Expect a least a few more inches by morning in this area, particularly along and north of M-28. Loss of Lake Superior connection and increasingly dry air taking their collective toll on Lake Michigan snowbands. This trend will continue, although do expect at least some minor accumulations (generally less than 2 inches) in the northwest lower snowbelts. Inherited winter weather headlines will remain in these areas. Otherwise, just some patchy lighter snow showers and flurries elsewhere. Will be a cold one tonight, with lows in the single digits and teens...with wind chill readings running a few degrees either side of zero. 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...
