Hoosier Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Light to moderate snow here. Coating on everything. We're not getting any accumulation here, although it's snowing fairly lightly with temps above freezing in the middle of the day in March so I guess I shouldn't expect it.

michsnowfreak Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Huge, flat snowflakes falling from the sky right now...up to quarter sized. Even after all that rain, I still have a solid 2-3 inches covering my yard....but a few bare spots around trees. This is where my "southern" location hurts me. We had the same amount on the ground several days ago, if not more here; now its just lots of piles and a few patches. When temps arent an issue, I do as good if not better than the rest of SE MI. If they are an issue, I suck lol. So many piles actually make it look whiter than it should lol, as in areas unaffected by piles Id say its 80% grass. Still a cold rain here, but Im LOVING upstream reports and also liking the latest ruc/gfs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baroclinic_instability Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Dewpoint higher than temp? Supersaturation! Looks like an ENVCA plotting fail.

Not riding the "over producing" train. Nice pic. Was your yard still more than half snowcovered before the rain turned to snow? Looks like it to me. Wayne/Oakland county must have been the transition zone, as said tons of piles here kept that half-white/half-bare look in most residential spots, but old pure snowcover was probably like 10-20% before changeover.
