BeastFromTheEast Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 this reminds me of a more transient version of the WAA event on or around the superbowl a few yrs back that had tons of convective elements. +1000 Dude I remember that one too. I was slurping on my slurpee watching the giants whip the patriots with a come back win i think? And it was just ripping snow outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the wx hx encyclopedia chicagowx will know all the details. I think the 10"+ amounts were more toward the Quad Cities and back into Iowa. It was crazy electric though...the lightning map looked like spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 started with pea-sized hail, then went to RA to PL to +TSPL with a CG, than to -SN/PL to TSSN with another big CG due east than back to -SN/PL...ended 5 mins ago but just had a 3rd CG to the ENE. It doesn't get much better than this, still getting small claps of thunder. Have a friend a Palatine saying she had the biggest flakes she has ever seen.

cyclone77 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 We started the day with about 1" of snow on the ground. The upper 30s today melted all of that away. Tonight we had two elevated thunderstorms roll through with pea size hail. The second one hailed enough to whiten the ground. Most of that hail remains on the ground now, as temps have fallen to below freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 0.8" snow here with some sleet/freezing rain (0.10" liquid) overnight. Some thunder reported in parts of SE MI....after widespread thundersnow just occurred Sunday...AND Feb 1st! Snow depth around 8" still after compaction, but a good core sample of 1.2" liquid. Looking like the fantasies of a 3rd 10" storm this month will not play out tonight, however yet another snowstorm is almost imminent. Perhaps still a shot at our 4th 6"+ of the season?

If any poster from SE MI dares to complain about this winter then they are a true weenie. Met winter will end with below normal temps overall and possibly all 3 months being below plus above normal snowfall and snowcover. That would qualify this winter as cold and snowy without a doubt!

Oh I agree 100%. I had been saying that for a few months now, but considering whats happened this month, I dont think anyone dares. DTW is at 55" of snow and nearly 70 days with 1"+ snowcover with a WSW for 4-7" tonight/tomorrow. REMEMBER average for an ENTIRE season is snowfall of 44" (longterm avg actually 41") and 1"+ snowcover days 49. And I only say "1"+ snowcover days" for statistical purposes. A HUGE marjority of those days have been 6"+ snowcover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 EPIC February here in the Detroit area. Todays snowstorm dropped 3.3" at DTW, bringing the monthly total to 31.1" and etching February 2011 into the weather books. Once Feb is over I will be starting a thread for DTW sort of similar to the "Chicago making snowfall history" thread.
