cyclone77 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Just catching back up on this thread now. First off, nice pics everyone! Those of us outside of the snow definitely appreciate them. Congrats to all you guys from Minnesota to Michigan. Good to see the southeast Michigan posters get dumped on. It's funny some of you guys were in the same boat as us, and lost your extensive snow pack over the last week. Good to see you get much of it back. Here, we still have a bare and muddy ground lol. Outside of the first hour of freezing rain at onset, it was all rain here. Ended up with just under an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Some persistent banding may be finally setting up overhead. The air has to re-saturate from all the subsidence before we can fill its real fury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo6899 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I really don't understand these snowfall reports from on TWC or DTX. They were off with the feb 5th...feb 1st and now this one. I have atleast 7 if not 8-9 and it says 4 for shelby which is 1 mile away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmichweather Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Cmich, do you think precip will fill in again in WI or do us in S.WI have to wait for the stuff in Minny to rotate through? seems like you'll have to wait for the backside to slowly drift back to the east and it should fill back in a bit more when the second wave starts to lift north, you can see it starting now over in Kansas.

cmichweather Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 21 mile and romeo plank. southern portion of macomb on the shelby/clinton township line nice my parents live at 21 mile and fairchild you'll be a decent measurement for what they have, my mom always reports way to low to me so she can give me a hard time. That shelby measurment is bullshi*t btw, I wouldn't have even published it to the web must be a super accurate observer that might have had a bad reading or didn't get a good sampling of the area.

superjetstream Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Ya I'm about 20 min from Eden Prairie and have about 15 inches so far. Its still coming down at a pretty good clip although radar returns don't look too promising and it'll probably end soon. NWS is still calling 2-4" through the day Monday so will have to wait and see if that happens. about 12" here.

Powerball Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 time stamp on the report was 11pm That's when they issued the Public Inforamtion Statement, which is basically a summary of all the reports they've received thus far I believe, at least for DTX.

No, i've done these web published reports when they do a summary report like I link the date when it was issued will be at the top, and the individual time stamps for when the observation was recorded is along the left hand side.

It's possible it could be a bad mesurement, but I'm not really convinced. It's also possible there could have been timing issues too with the spotter sending in their report. It happens just like bad measurements every now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmichweather Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 How reliable are those? lol not very, i mean we get tons of reports in especially like severe weather and we just take what they say ask if they are a trained spotter, and put it on a piece of paper. If we have time we go through and try and QC the reports. I haven't been in office during a snow event so i'm sure they have some more reliable observers that they trust and things aren't pouring in so that's why it surprises me that the Shelby report is so low, i mean they look around the area to see if someone is super low he must be a long time observer for them.

Ya if the person taking the report forgot to mark down the time, or they took some time to quality check then mistyped the report but at 830 the same person reported only 3.5 inches of snow.

michsnowfreak Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Im really curious to see what the totals around Down River will shape up to be..Im assume that the area is getting some serious sleet contamination. But a couple of friends on FB from down river are reporting ripping snow and sleet. midnight storm total is 8.7" here, although depth is slightly less (closer to 8" on average, though there are several 9" spots) from compaction from sleet, we had a few very good bursts of sleet here. I didnt melt the water yet but I suspect between 0.9-1" liquid fell today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
