  1. A good aerial view of it here - Roughly 100 vehicles involved in winter storm pileup on Interstate 196 in Michigan | Fox Weather It is going to be a while before they get everyone out of that mess.
  2. When it gets very cold, lake effect goes from dendrites to tiny ice crystals and doesn't stack up very fast. Makes for very poor visibility but not great accumulations.
  3. It is pretty crazy out there this morning. 100-car pileup reported on I-196 in Hudsonville area | WOODTV.com
  4. You got your snow last week. Time to let someone else in on the aciton
  5. The GFS has been turning out some beauties lately. 60"+ in Ohio and now a slightly less but still impressive amount in Ontario.
  6. The monthly departures at GRR are fairly significant at -4.3°F so far. Here is a monthly chart that would make even @beavis1729 happy. It has sure been a cold month in Fairbanks. They are averaging about 17.6°F below normal for the month.
  7. With Friday's 1.7" of snow, GRR has passed 1905-1906 ending any talk of futility before winter officially started. While this last week has been a dud it has been a pretty good start to winter so far and looking forward to hopefully much more snow to come this winter.
  8. Snowing sideways and blowing pretty good on my way in to work at 6:30 this morning. Too bad we lost nearly all of our snow yesterday. Drifting, even with just a little snow, was pretty obvious especially around the old snow banks that did not melt off.
  9. GRR has had its 5th coldest start to December. Too bad a meltdown looks like it is coming.
  10. Beautiful state in any season. I grew up about 25 miles north of WV in SE Ohio
  11. At 8:30 it was raining in Holland and transitioned to snow around Zeeland with white roads by the time I got to Hudsonville.
  12. One of them is going to be wrong. Maybe both are, but both definitely can't be correct.
  13. The end of the Euro and GFS couldn't be much more different. The Euro has Western Ohio is in the upper 20's on 12/24 and the GFS is saying low 60's. Definitely la la land for both, but a large difference nonetheless.
  14. The Euro is saying Kent County is good, the GFS not as much. Less than 24 hrs away and still more variability in the models than I would have expected.
  15. Yeah, we are definitely going to be riding that line. A little too close for comfort for sure. Hoping for a little tick south.
  16. All I need is a nudge and things are looking decent here.
  17. I see the AI model referenced frequently. Is this publicly available or behind a paywall?
  18. Lake effect compaction and warmer weather, not a good combination if snow depth is your goal.
  19. Clouds here but my kids at college in Ohio sent this photo.
  20. That was my first winter in Michigan. Came back from Christmas in Ohio to snow on the ground and didn't see grass again until almost the middle of March.
