michsnowfreak Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Trying to remember when Ive seen such a deep snow pack over SEMI. Its been a long time. When I was a kid I can remember playing in deep snow..But when your a kid everything is new and overdone. lol, "only" ended up with 4.1" of fresh powder imby, depth 15". I say "only" because lots of 5-6" totals to my NW, and I expected the heaviest to fall right along the river. Jokes aside, it is GORGEOUS outside and the snow is DEEP. It reminds me of being in the U.P. (much of which ironically has less snowpack than we do now). Since the snowpack has so much water in it, its actually a chore to walk in it lol, a chore I dont mind one bit. DTW had 4.8" with a depth of 16".

on_wx Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I'd say I have between 2-3" down. We'll finish within my range of 2-4". I walked to work and conditions are unreal outside nothing is plowed or shoveled easily over a foot of snow in spots probably from the drifting the roads are chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Out for an evening stroll in the snow Not too much left per radar. Probably a little over 3" for the total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Yeah, it's beautiful out there, but with 5-7" just to my NW, for the 2nd time this week I'm left wanting a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, I kinda feel the same. 6" totals just a mere 30 miles to my east...of course for a storm that wasn't "model realized" until 24 or less hours out, I/we should probably feel a little lucky to get what we did. The 3.6" we got here is always better than nada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 True, true. But with snow it's tough not to get greedy. No doubt. As we're moving up through the top 10 list for LAF, I feel this sense of needing to maximize every single event. Reality is setting in that spring really isn't that far away...but enough of those silly thoughts for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality is setting in that spring really isn't that far away...but enough of those silly thoughts for now. We're probably approaching the "peak" of winter in terms of snowdepth and frequency of snowfall events. Gotta get out there and enjoy it while it lasts. Not to get too overdramatic. March is still a good snowstorm potential month. However the warmth of spring starts to flex its muscles enough that it's tough to maintain that wintry feel beyond a couple of days.

However the warmth of spring starts to flex its muscles enough that it's tough to maintain that wintry feel beyond a couple of days. Very true my friend. We probably had a deeper snow pack back in December than right now here, by maybe an inch or two, but it looks/feels like winter peak right now when you look around here at the snow cover, piles, and what not. Pretty awesome really. But this "southern" real winter in central Indiana starts losing some of its effectiveness as we get deeper into February. And as you said, March can still produce, but the winter "feel" is less so. With respect to the winter feel right now, I think I'm going to go around town tomorrow morning and take some pics of the scenes. There are some pretty epic snow piles in the parking lots that I want to document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on_wx Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 6.3" is my final. Snow pretty much ended around 8pm, so I didn't get to 8" as I was hoping. I'm very happy to report that nothing has been plowed yet, and I spent much of the commute home pushing my coworkers car down side streets as she couldn't get traction. The grand finale was when we made it to my house, I had to push her back 150m to the main road, then walk back.. and shovel the sidewalk. I took some photos, will upload them in a bit.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I measured 3.1" here. 3.6" at Downsview. Pearson FTW with 4.6". Don't see them coming in on the high end too often. edit: Edited on February 20, 2015...4+ years after the fact, lol. Pearson totaled 4.6", not 4.3" as the 24 year old me stated.
