  1. You never know could be like you said or we are getting our ice skates out again
  2. With the temps being right around freezing looks like it would make for some nice pictures like in January
  3. Yeah it’s been a bad one. Most of the tree crews on my side have been on storm ever sense. A hella lot more out of state has come in to help than the news puts out.
  4. Anyone else around DTW wondering why we are still getting freezing rain. Hourly this morning said rain by 10am imby. Was not anticipating this but neat to a small extent nonetheless edit: as I say that it changed over
  5. Yeah I’m quite impressed watching things play out to say the least. Been very entertaining last few weeks to say the least
  6. Light accretion on trees at my work site in Trenton mich. My first response was ohh hell naw even tho it’s gonna wash off soon
  7. Current system rolling thru has a nice look to it
  8. Looks beautiful off in the distance then when it’s close it’s one giant rotating cyclonic turd
  9. I would be quite pleased with a 4-6 with near or at blizzard conditions.
  10. And here I thought we were gonna be in a lull for a couple weeks
  11. Was thinking the same thing. I’ll quietly watch till it’s closer lol. Was not expecting this ngl
  12. It is pretty insane and knowing it could have been worse. Seeing poles snapped and trees 40 inches in diameter being brought down has been crazy to see too and I work with trees for a living lol. It shows tho we need to work on our electrical infrastructure
  13. I agree 110% the last 3 we have had have been very photogenic and I’m more then happy to get the photos I did. Would be cool to see the sun come out b it as stated that would be disastrous with the wind coming thru even tho I’m still concerned about existing damage to trees that the wind will take down. The thunder ice was incredible imo. Hopefully we can get one more photogenic storm before severe season comes
  14. The fact it was so widespread too. We dodged a bullet with the ice not sticking to a higher ratio. The tree limbs I agree was pretty crazy to hear
  15. If it was a tad colder and roads were cold it would have been catastrophic. Working for the power company here I can say there are many distribution lines would not handle a .75 event even the subtransmission lines would have major problems. Speaking from what I seen so far. A lot of the lines and poles down here are 40+ years in age and then account for maintenance that has not been done on lines in 4 years or so.Lots of rain glad it did not all accrete
  16. It goes to show we have a lot of advancements still needed that’s what I love about science. DTX being late to the ball game too. It is sad that most of the public won’t understand but I have nothing but mad respect for the meteorologists in those offices. Couldn’t imagine the pressure sometimes
  17. Saving grace is most should melt off before winds kick in. Glad we don’t have a brutal cold snap to follow the ice storm
