I will also leave this here. This is cumulative between Sunday night and Wednesday's storm:

We're under a Winter Storm Watch for 3-7" plus near-blizzard conditions Sunday night/Monday, and then it's looking increasingly likely that we'll see several more inches of snow on Wednesday. Who would have thought Dallas (of all places) would see snow on top of snow, lol.

Temps might not even be overdone. Models are already running several degrees behind with the shallow low-level cold air (we've been stuck in the low/mid 30s). Imagine how much colder it will get with a deep snowpack...

It's not often you see both Dallas and Detroit get crushed with powdery snow from the same storm in mid-February.

I know there was the 10th-11th thread, but besides being a day early, it underplay the potential with the title "potent front/system."

I'm almost tempted to make a thread, as February 12th - 13th seems to have good potential for a significant winter storm across the region. The GFS has been showing it for the past couple of runs, and there's good ensemble support. The setup has some similarities to the PV Blizzard back on 1/6/14. That said, I would like to see some more agreement from the EURO and GGEM first.

It seems 4" is the general rule across Metro Detroit, which is pretty impressive given how short in duration the snowfall was.

More lightning strikes now over Lake St. Clair.

The weather weenies at CMU are definitely getting a treat:

Thundersnow right now in Metro Detroit. I'm almost certain michsnowfreak saw/heard something, based on lightning tracker.

CLE's not here to play. Their response:

Several stations in MI and IN are now report SN- and SN.

I'd keep an eye out for TSSN on Thursday afternoon/evening too, as it looks like some pretty decent mid-level instability is showing up.

And before that, they also got decent snow with 3/21/18 and 1/4/18.

I guess we'll find out how well this entire page of posts ages...

Detroit does 'em best.

Someone on here posted a link to this website, which is what I use (it's a NOAA site, BTW): https://mrms.nssl.noaa.gov/qvs/product_viewer/

Yeah, I found the data and edited my post. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/vtec/#2020-O-NEW-KDTX-WS-W-0001/USCOMP-N0Q-202001180300

It doesn't look like a Winter Storm Warning has been issued yet this season for DTX's CWA. In fact, the last one was issued back on 1/18/20.

You got access to models that we don't?

That's not quite how it works, lol...

The *ONLY drawback to 2013-2014 was that Detroit still failed to get a big dog snowstorm, although it did finally happen in February 2015. That said, another highlight to the 2013-2014 winter was the surprise TSSN to freezing rain/ice event on 2/20/14 that was originally supposed to be a cold rain (temps maxed out at 35*F). It only further solidified the already deep snowpack.

Hmmm, it certainly seem as though they don't make winters like 1977-1978 any more, where places like Dallas, Chicago *AND* Boston all have a stellar season.

Yes.
