A-L-E-K Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 if only you got some video lol welcome back. Went to brunch around 11, sunny and dry....finished brunch with 2" down, hit the road and had +SN during the 3 hrs it took to get to GRR, did dinner (awesome) then the ZR started. Much nastier conditions then i expected. Pretty fun weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 i think i almost died 3 times yesterday driving home from Lansing. Mega adventure. Read that you were going to MI and was thinking about you and hoping all was well. Given the weather we had here yesterday I knew it would be worse up along I-94 territory. And I see LB LaForce landed safely in Detroit from his plane flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Is the snow back in NE Iowa, SE Minnesota and WC Wisconsin the snow that is going to affect us here and give us 2-4 additional inches? It seems to be crawling so I'm skeptical it will make it here before dissapating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Nice pics as usual Josh. Funny, just a few days ago you posted some pics and everything was bare, just like here. Now you guys are buried again. Kind of weird how that worked out. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Snow has ended here. Finished with 4.8" (4.4" snow and .4" sleet), plus 1/10" ice. Nice event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Unsure of exactly where this is coming from but now have heavy snow here falling. Snow breaking out nicely along i94. Maybe i will crack 5 with this stuff today/tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe i will crack 5 with this stuff today/tonight? I dont know, have just had some very light snow. Can see the flakes sticking to my car windshield but its just a trace, not even a dusting really. They picked up 0.1" at DTW and Im guessing ARB picked up a good coating at least, but in SE MI so far all the accumulating snow has been in Lenawee/Monroe. But hey no way in hell can I complain...the surprise to end surprises was in the storm last night, so while I always want more snow, Im ok with not getting any tonight, and very happy for you Harry. They showed Monroe on the news and they had about 4" of snow with ice draping everything and power outages, thats only 25 miles to my SW...here there isnt the slightest sign of ice, just buried in snow. I said it yesterday Ill say it again, amazing how the gradients can work out in these storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stuff has really developed and expanding nicely and now clipping the 3 row of counties. Still have the stuff to the west in WI etc as well.

baroclinic_instability Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Thanks Thats why I had to do this shot. A little corny but it really tells the tale lol Nice time sequence. If you want to be uber weather hardcore you could setup a camera and take periodic images over a span of weeks to show the changes. That would look pretty neat I am sure.

wisconsinwx Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 It's snowing yet again! Seems to be a good 4 to 5 hours of relatively steady moderate snow that will probably allow two day storm totals in the northern part of Milwaukee County to approach 8 inches. Not bad for a storm that did not have a favorable temperature profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 worst few mile stretch of ice problems on the road I've ever seen leaving COD and coming home on butterfield rd. 8-10 cars in the ditch over a 1 mile long stretch of butterfield and going eastbound on butterfield at naperville rd was closed do to the bad ice. It was almost like a sleet glaze, very nasty driving conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Snow is getting more intense by the minute in Madison, mesoscale convergence line is just to the east and dumping snow on us. Definitely convective here right now. If this can go on for awhile things could get very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I am wondering if the upper low will swing this way over night, radar looks pretty good on that side of Lake Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Yeah I am wondering if the upper low will swing this way over night, radar looks pretty good on that side of Lake Michigan. GRR updated and says another 1-2 with the next batch across the lake. However they have that zone sw of a Muskegon to Jackson line. We'll see anyways.

Baum Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 have you ever once been optimistic? lol always finding the negatives. I dont see 3.9" here but 1-3" seems like a good bet. major LOT bust.

WisTodd Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Just measured 3.5" new snow overnight. Looping overnight radars, it looks like lake effect was the primary factor. 30.8" is the total so far for February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnchaser Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 This storm definitely set us over the mark for one epic winter, its stopped snowing Sunday with about 10 inches of snow, we had a nice break until Monday morning where the upper level low developed a nice, nearly stationary band of snow over the area for several hours where we picked up an additional 4 inches of very light and fluffy snow, so a two day storm total of 14 inches here..I've lost track of the number of double digit snowfalls this year. But I assume its up near 4-5. A year for the record books..Hey this global warming junk isn't so bad after all ..from Minnesota having the most tornadoes of any state in 2010 (145) to a record winter that will be remembered for a long time.
