Others will no doubt answer more seriously, but the GFS was more north in MI, then when it adjusted SE it just kept going and over shot the runway. I don't think you can say one model nailed this. SR models like the NAM seem to be the way to go. And I mean within their respective reliable times.

The GEFS were by far the closest to the current snowfall that is falling. The EPS was weaker and SE at D5+, but then slowly began showing a NW shift.

Tom Posted February 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 ORD officially picked up 2.9" while MDW had 3.8"...I'd call this a win in my book to score another 3"+ snowstorm esp when things weren't looking to good inside 24-48 hours. This storm created another razor sharp cut-off across N IL and that last band that went through really helped with snowfall accumulations. Local reports say my area got 3.6" which is about right. This was some of the higher ratio snows of the season and very easy to dust off the car. Yet again, it was the southern burbs that scored better and esp into NW IN. C IL also did really well near Bloomington, IL where a swath of 6-9" fell and there was a devastating 100 car pile up that shut down I-39. It looked like that one video someone posted in another thread of the other pile up some years ago in SW MI. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 It was a beautiful, , cold snowstorm, although, a quick one, but definitely a hard hitter. Roughly 7" fell here in Macomb ( I will go out and measure later today when I get the chance) and 6.6" in the Detroit Metro Area. Just by peaking out of my window..I can see some real high drifts (more than 2ft in spots). I will also measure a few drifts as well. Not sure if I have a yard stick though. 2 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!
