michsnowfreak Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Had some awesome blizzard conditions between 10-1130, including several strikes of lightning around 11, which I tried ever so hard to video but failed for the most part lol. Im estimating we picked up 5.2" from this main round that started around 630pm, which gives me a total on the day of 6.3". Avg depth is anyones call, but Id go with 11". Roads a nightmare. Nasty dry slot in progress including some light sleet, off to bed now hope to wake up to a nice surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iowahawkeyedave Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I just hope after a blizzard like this, the general public takes the warnings more seriously. I guess that is a fight that will always be fought though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 9.3" in the last 6 hours at Moline. That makes a storm total of 16.5" putting it ahead of January 1971 for 2nd all time! 1.9" more needed to tie the all time storm total snowfall (January 1979).

snowstormcanuck Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Is it too early to call a bust for Southern Ontario? The snow's filling in back across SE MI. Call down man.
