Not too much longer and it'll be so busy in here everyone will forget all about the snooze fest.
Edit: 18z GFS has nearly a foot in Wayne Cnty next weekend
Edit-edit: If you want to see some real eye-candy, entire run thru 12/18 has 2+ feet over mby (and many areas).
2020 I only had 3.6" in Marshall, about 33% of normal. Wasn't keeping daily data back in Dec of '12 but iirc it was a similar deal with the two bliz storms leaving mby fringed to the left and fringed to the right.
I thought KTOL was like ground zero for the FEB '21 storm. As posted above, DTW hit 11" and was certain you posted that your depth was something crazy like 20+ inches afterwards.
I did fine, yes. I was actually one of those in the right place but I think many on here were too far away from the Detroit magnet that month. I think more shared in Dec of 2016 as relates to good snows.
As said, twas the early Feb storm that was the mega bust. You've got 50 years of data telling you that a map with more than 12" for DTW is only warranted once or twice in that timeframe. Idk what they were thinking tbh issuing those 12-18" calls? Ride history and 48 out of 50 times you'll be correct.
I was wrong. Initial forecast map from GRR only showed 6-8" for BC and Kzoo thru Friday with a mention of additional accum's Sat night/Sunday. If they issued a later map for both rounds I didn't catch that one.
Sad, but true. This Sunday's system has a shot at being the single wettest event since 2-17. If that doesn't paint the picture, I can't help explain it further.
10d Euro would bring some much need moisture here. Would be the wettest in months and at least begin to pull the region out of drought status. Nina effects beginning to show.
DTW hit 16F overnight b4 torching up at 45F and sunshine this afternoon. Surprised at the amount of snow that survived. Several days at or below freezing packed a punch on soil temps.
Going by GRR's storm totals map I'd guesstimate 9 or 10". Half of what BC had, but so much better than Nov of 2014.
This brings up my normal rant about that office's headlines policy. While I lived there we saw multiple 7" in <12 hours synoptic events that were WWA's, while this took 3-1/2 days to get 9+ of light weight LES and had a warning. There's just something so not copasetic about that.
Was dumping for a hot minute last night. Not as much as others had in the area but with the ground cooled off a couple days prior, it wasn't melting from below like the usual Nov snows. Looked like a nice January day. That could be winter.
Yeah, thought you did good then too. That Warning couldn't even cover the grass blades in Marshall. What a disappointing event for me. Looks like this one is treating Marshall much better and will end with a bang tonight. Have you seen any reports from there?
