Tom Posted January 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 1 minute ago, jaster220 said: Say Euro, is that a "5" over my place?? DTX considering a headline for the Monday clipper: After a two week lull in +1 inch snow events (nearly three weeks for DTW), a system with appreciable snowfall is set to arrive Monday morning. Low amplitude troughing within the polar jet will support a sharpening and strengthening jet streak with the core brushing the MI/OH state-line. Supporting top-down moisture surge complimented by strong ThetaE advection within the H8-H7 layer ramps up after 06Z Monday, although the highest specific humidity air holds further south. Forecast soundings remain cold, so no question that p-type will continue as snow throughout the event. Currently looking at SLRs near 15:1, but if the 5-10 kft layer comes in a bit colder, the depth of the DGZ would expand substantially, increasing the potential for higher mean SLR and increased snowfall. 18Z model suite has fallen into better agreement regarding the peak of the event which now appears centered around the evening commute with snowfall rates near a half inch per hour. The most likely outcome for snow totals still holds in the 2-4 inch range by Tuesday morning. Locally higher amounts near 5 inches cannot be ruled out, especially south of I-94. Will hold off on a Winter Weather Advisory at this time given the onset is still some 40 hours away and the duration for the forecast event totals is marginal, particularly for areas along and north of I-69. Finally, we are in a more typical late JAN clipper pattern...I'm thankful that we are getting some snow. It hasn't been easy this winter around here. That goes for @indianajohn @tbone8 and the rest of the IN crew. It'll be nice to see snow OTG again and I'm excited for the Mon event as it will be falling during the daytime. It's wonderful to see you back on here bud. Glad to see your doing much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tom! Normally 12 am to 4 am are absolute hard zzz hours for this guy, but my bio-rhythm has somehow become stuck on what I call "hospital time", lol. You cannot sleep more than 90 mins all night they are coming in and taking vitals. It has messed with my regular M.O. big time. So, here I am up every night now until things shift gears back to normal and checking up on things since we actually have some action to follow! It's great to be feeling better tho I still have very swollen and painful lower extremities. I see a physician tomorrow pm and I fully expect after this doctor sees the situation, she will get me some relief and probably I will be referred to a specialist to oversee the recovery. 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...

I can relate to what you said wrt to your sleep patterns and making adjustments. I find myself doing the same thing when I travel back and forth from AZ during the Spring months when the time change makes a 2 hour difference. Not sure if others feel the same, but lately my sleep patterns haven't been ideal. Sometimes I wonder if its all the D**n frequencies we have going on in our houses but esp the 5G network. That's a whole other topic of discussion. Anyway, take care of your situation and hope for a successful recovery! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to crack 3" and consider it a win. Don't look now but it's morning, lol. Maybe auto-correct "fixed" your original words: of the event? Per DTX, if tomorrow's clipper goes "ideal state" my region could as much as 4". Otherwise looking at a general 2". The exact north to south orientation of this second area of lift will be key in the best overall snowfall and at this time it appears that areas south of I-69 or so will be most in line for the best snowfall later in the day. In this region, a solid 2 to 3 inches of snow seems to be a good bet. With some degree of lake aggregate troughing in place, would not be too surprised to see the surface cyclone (and hence the location of best deformation) to pivot a bit further north than models suggest...ie it is doubtful that the best lift will escape to the south with this system. If this occurs to any great degree, 4 inches amounts become more likely over southern and central portions of the forecast area.

Niko Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Nice wintry look outside. About 1.1" fell in Detroit Metro and near an inch here in Macomb so far. Still snowing lightly, so it could add up a little bit more, b4 ending around midday. Looks like the heaviest snow fell to my south. At this rate, I will accept any snow amount, as long as the ground is white w/ all of this cold air we are experiencing this month. More accumulating and a more potent system arriving tomorrow w/ at least several inches possible. 1 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!

Niko Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 NOAA: The third in a series of clipper systems arrives early Monday morning with the next piece of polar low energy transiting through The Plains. The surface reflection targets a more northerly track than today`s as the 1004 mb low swings across southern Lower Michigan. This has afforded a better opportunity for higher QPF and snow totals across Southeast Michigan. Expectation is still within the 2-4 inch range by Monday night, but there has been a northward expansion of the 3 inch swath. This is tied to colder thermal profiles and much deeper DGZs north of M-59, thus SLRs are more likely to fall within the 17:1 to 19:1 range there. Meanwhile, the QPF bullseye (near two tenths of SWE) now falls between I-94 and M- 59 (albeit with SLRs in the 14:1 to 16:1 range). Half inch per hour snowfall rates will occur during this period, and there is a chance for rates to briefly approach an inch per hour with developing FGEN near the northern extent of the arctic front. 1 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!

james1976 Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Nice steady light snow falling currently. Quiet but very pleasant and wintery. 10 degrees. Picked up close to an inch with last night's clipper. The light snow I'm currently getting means I've received at least some flakes from all 3 of these clippers. Friday night scored a dusting from that first clipper. Nothing significant from any of these but keeps the wintery vibes going and a thin fresh coating. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Dubzz Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 We look to have gotten another 1.5" or so this morning, on top of 2.5-3" from the other night. Was a bit surprised to see that amount this morning - was a little more than I was expecting. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tStacsh Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 It keeps snowing here, but the models gave me a big donut hole. Almost all of them. Over an inch now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james1976 Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Scores almost another inch over night. That puts me close to 2" total for all 3 systems. Nice refresher 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Only picked up a total of 1.4" today and 3.8" the other day which brings a combined total of 5.2". Not bad actually when you take into consideration all the models were painting 5-8" swatch across N IL/S WI from the two clippers. Was hoping to get at least 2"+ today but you can't be greedy in this sorta season. I love how gorgeous the landscape looks now with a 4" base. The only caveat with very high ratio snows is it compacts within hours. Time to add more! I found it enjoyable shoveling the driveway and walkways the past couple days. No heavy lifting and quite easy. I'll try to post some pics later. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james1976 Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Temp is dropping fast and getting breezy. Some flurries and blowing snow. Looks and feels like mid winter now! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 I'm now a little over 2." Still several more hours to go. Will post pics probably tomorrow when the landscape is deeper in snow. I can easily see a 5-6" outta this, if not a jackpot 7" in spots. A lot of blowing snow as winds are really gusty, making the snow fly all around. Temps continue to be in the teens and will remain pretty steady throughout this snowstorm. 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!

I may be wrong since I haven't actually gone outside, but down/over here in Livonia it looks lackluster as far as new snow on the front parking lot here at work. Radar looks full of holes as well, so pencil me puzzled why DTX issued an even more robust totals map, and just an hour ago.

Niko Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Quick update: Just by eyeballing, it looks like so far I have received over 3" and counting. Its coming down moderately. I will go for measurement when it stops. It looks beautiful outside. 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!
