Thought the national warning map here was interesting, so I’ll bump this thread to the top. Wow…look at the warnings from Texas to Maine! As you can see by the track of the darker colored warnings-advisories…today’s snow and icestorm will be moving south and southeast of us. They had 3.27″ of freezing rain at Harrison, AR – 150,000 without power in northwest Arkansas alone. Hundreds of thousands more without power from Texas to New England. Thousands of trees and large branches down, numerous traffic accidents and up to 3.5″ of sleet in SE Oklahoma. All 77 of Oklahoma’s counties were under a State of Emergency. We could see a couple inches of snow down toward Coldwater, with a dusting to an inch elsewhere. Another 1-2″ of snow is likely on Thursday. I should have a new thread up in the AM.
2.5″ snow is letting up
A strong 2.75″ of new snow. Still snowing – lightly.
What is THIS all ABOUT! I wake up to 3 inches of snow on my car! This was not predicted to my knowledge! The roads are crap, and I think my back is broken from shoveling snow this year. I think I’ll just book a flight to hawaii right now. Call me when it’s summer again. LOL
a good 3 inches of snow and still snowing..about 16* ..
Got a good 3″ on the ground right now with heavy snow falling. Looks like another 1-2″ more possible.
A nice 4-5″ pick up for us Eastsiders. Even more for the southern counties…
The skies are starting to clear here now after about 1.5″ of new snow the temp i now down to 15° (I am kind of surprised the NWS did not issue a WSW LOL)
SlimJim
3″ is our total!
very light snow, small falkes now
Bob – did you ever think you would get more snow than I did out of this??? I’m just now approaching 2″ and this thing is about done!
New snowfall total: 3″.
HOLY COW! I wasn’t expecting all that snow! And yes the roads were not fun to drive on this morning! Spring can not come soon enough!!!
opps didn’t see this on coming! lol
sounds like there is a good chance for LES thurs-fri…
NWS…
A SURGE OF COLD AIR WILL FOLLOW THE COLD FRONT BY LATE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AND REST OVER THE REGION THROUGH FRIDAY. THIS APPEARS TO
BE A GOOD SETUP FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS. H8 TEMPS DROP TO -17C
AND INVERSION HEIGHTS ARE UNLIMITED FROM ABOUT 06Z FRIDAY TO AROUND
21Z FRIDAY AS ANOTHER SHORT WAVE HELPS PERK UP THE LAKE EFFECT
INTENSITY. LIFT IS NOTED WITHIN THE DGZ IN THIS TIME FRAME. HAVE
BUMPED UP POPS IN THESE PERIODS. MEAN LOW LEVEL FLOW IS RATHER
PERSISTENT FROM 285 TO 300 WHICH WOULD FAVOR MUCH OF THE SW PORTION
OF THE CWA. THIS MAY NEED TO BE MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE HEADLINES AS
THE EVENT APPROACHES.
Yes – we here in DeWitt got a good 3 inches and still snowing here as well. SURPRISE!! LOL. Glad we didn’t get the ice, though. I need the solar plow – I have frozen snow that I can not remove from my driveway. YUCK!
got 2″ overnight and have 13″ on the ground. first snow in the last 9 days here!
That was a nice intense band..unexpected. but we will take it!
True Craih H…didnt expect this!
3″ which puts us at 9.5 on the ground
So….is there anything on the horizon in terms of big storms for us?
A big storm is showing up on the models for Monday/Tuesday timeframe, but right now looks like an East Coast storm. Hopefully Margusity will mention the Big Daddy (tee hee) and curse it NW and it nails us, instead of them! Something to watch, at least!
Lookie there, just checked Hank’s blog and this is in his sub-title from today: “BIG DADDY STORM NEXT WEEK”.
Bodes well for us! LOL
Hot off the press from the NWS/Detroit AFD:
THIS IS WHERE THE EXTENDED FORECAST STARTS TO BECOME A BIT MORE COMPLICATED AS MODEL TRENDS IN THE PAST 24 HOURS HAVE LATCHED ON TO A STRONG SOUTHERN STREAM WAVE…WHICH LIFTS NORTH/NORTHEAST OUT OF THE GULF/MEXICO DURING THIS TIMEFRAME AND PHASES WITH THE STRONG NORTHERN STREAM SYSTEM. THIS SCENARIO WILL MOST DEFINITELY BRING MUCH COLDER AIR BACK INTO THE AREA EARLY/MID NEXT WEEK AS A LARGE EASTERN TROUGH DEVELOPS…SO HIGHS WILL BE NO BETTER THAN 25 AND LOWS 10-15 MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THIS CHANGE ALSO HAS POSSIBLE IMPLICATIONS IN TERMS OF SNOW FOR THE AREA…DEPENDING ON JUST WHEN THE NORTHERN/SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVES PHASE. CURRENTLY…MOST SOLUTIONS TAKE THE RESULTANT STORM TO THE EAST OF THE AREA…BUT ANY SHIFT TO A SOLUTION WITH FASTER PHASING WILL INCREASE THE CHANCE OF THIS STORM AFFECTING SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN BY TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.
When is the next storm comming into michigan!!????!???!?! plz write back!!!!!
Starting next week there will be a storm that will be to our east.There will be several storms through Feb. to March.
