Tom Posted January 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 I just can't believe how persistent this lake band has been. You know the saying "finger lookin good"...that "finger" of a band over N COOK is directly over my house and it's lookin' good. This has been a remarkable experience.

BrianJK Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 It feels like our “2 weeks of winter” which typically has been in Feb started early this year. If that’s the case, it kicked off last Sunday and should gradually come to a close next Sunday. Next week looking interesting for the final stretch. Guessing we’ll return to mild conditions after that, so hoping to enjoy whatever comes our way before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 The official overnight low so far at GRR was +1. Here at my house with clouds hanging in it was a warmer +11. At this time the official reading is +9 and here at my house it it 12. There is now 6.0" of snow on the ground. And yes it now looks like a good amount of the snow will be to the SE of here next week. But it still looks to get cold next weekend.

westMJim Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 There was just a trace of snow fall here yesterday. There is still 6" of snow on the ground here and there now has been at least 1" of snow on the ground for 35 days in a row. This January with the the 1st one with at 1" or more on the ground for the whole 31 days since 2014. At this time with cloudy skies it is 17 here. This weeks storm now very much looks to pass the Grand Rapids area to the SE. That is rather typical for this area as the bulk of system storms pass us to the NW or SE we are not in a typical area for heavy systems snows. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
