Muskegon County now included in the Winter Storm Watch...Hoping for an even further south track so we get more sleet/snow than freezing rain. But I don't want to wish freezing rain on anybody! Nasty stuff

These trends tonight continue and GRR may need to have a watch for the whole area.

They are? Hm.. I think GFS is a lot warmer compared to the nam..

Look at the surface/2m temps and not 850s/thickness. GFS at the very least looks to be a ice storm there and almost and perhaps maybe even here. Very close here but wanna be sure first before stating whether it is or not. Still it is colder at the surface vs previous runs.

I think i need to start rooting for the Ice storm. Usually what i root for goes the another way atleast this winter it has. :lol:

It isn't a major snow threat to the big population centers here--and winter burnout as Hoosier mentioned. Personally I am excited for any big weather event (even if I will have no part of it), but I have been busy with other stuff.

lol ya i'm super pumped but not many posters up here but Dan got in on the action. Its gonna get nuts here in about 18 hours.

nice line of tstorms breaking out in e SD...looks like some 60 DBZ in that around Huron

Ya i was talking to someone on facebook about them, they are extremely elevated but they could have some hail, some of the surface obs are even close to freezing so elevated surfaces might get some small hail, rain and freezing rain

HIRESW looking nice

For some weird reason, I feel it will be mostly liquid at DTW. Hope Im wrong. Really wrong. My hope is there though, as look what happened here Feb 20th, and it certainly has been the trend this winter to get snow no matter what at DTW lol (most winters, even the excellent ones, the 48-hour models give us twice the snow we actually receive, this year weve had more snow than the 48-hour model runs print out.)

I've never experienced a major ice storm (0.5"+) yet in my 20yrs...will be something if it pans out

Hmm...what about Jan 31, 2002? We had a ton of ice (certainly 0.5"+) on top of heavy snow. Other candidates would be Jan 2007, April 2003, March 1997...again though, these are very rare in SE MI anymore. We usually get primarily snow or rain or sometimes a mix.
