Your SOOO close to the Blitz warnings...glad you turned over to Snow!

KC Magnet in the works! When I woke up earlier today and saw the snow/sleet line south of I-70 on TV, I had a suspicion the south trend won in the models overnight before I even checked. Yup, looks like that was confirmation!

Some January 5 weather history for southern Lower Michigan. 1912: Arctic air dominates Lower Michigan during the coldest January on record. Muskegon plunges to 12 below zero for a record low for the date. 1998: Moist southerly flow brings warm and wet weather to Lower Michigan. Highs in the 50s follow morning lows in the 40s as several days of thawing weather are observed during the first week of January. 1946: Record highs are set for a second day in a row across Lower Michigan as temperatures reach the mid and upper 50s. 2014, a strengthening low pressure system passed just southeast of the area and dropped significant snowfall across all of Southeast Michigan. The heaviest snow fell along the I-69 corridor where 14-18 inches was reported, including 17.1 at Flint - their 3rd largest snow storm on record! Detroit measured 10.6 inches, good for its 24th largest snowfall on record, while Saginaw reported 8.8 inches. In addition, the National Weather Service office in White Lake measured 14.6 inches, the largest snowfall in its abbreviated climate record which began in 1995. 2005, the city of Saline in Washtenaw County was hit with a snowstorm and received a total of 8.5 inches of snow. This snowstorm lasted through the 6th.

The official H/L yesterday at GRR was 21/14 there was a trace of snow fall the snow depth was 2”. The highest wind gust was 28 MPH out of the NW. There was no sunshine. For today the average H/L is 32/20 the record high of 55 was in 1946 the coldest high of 5 was in 1912 the record low of -9 was in 1968,2018 the warmest low of 45 was in 2007. The most rainfall of 0.78” was in 1998 the most snowfall of 8.0” was in 2012 the most on the ground was 17” in 1999. The overnight low here in MBY was 9 it is now up to 12 with cloudy skies. There is still 2.5" of snow on the ground.

I concur with this sentiment and statement. Our members down south have not seen a Beast of a Winter Storm like this one since prob GHD-1 and to those towards farther East towards INDY and Cincinatti, OH. I know we also have someone in KY but I think he's getting Ice & Snow combo. Congrats to KC/St Joe and MO peeps @mlgamer @Jayhawker85.... @clintbeed1993 is prob having tears of Joy! Haha, @MIKEKCwere ya at? I gotta reach out to my friends down in MO. The south trend was real with this system and the last minute surprise has come to fruition. I-70 Midwest Monster in the works!
