Ahhh, what a beautiful sight out there. It's been awhile since I wasn't able to see more then 3 houses down my block! Can't even imagine what its like out in the country. Radar is blossoming with moisture especially in the last hour or so right over Mankato, If the 11z HRRR is right, then we will easily surpass the 10"+ mark..About 2.5 out there now in about 3 hours give or take..

Quad Cities NWS is predicting 6-7 inches for Cedar Rapids, but I'm thinking more like 2 inches. The models show the bulk of the snow remaining along and north of hw20.

Yeah you're in the same boat as we are around the Quads. At least it will rip pretty good for awhile when that deform blows through. There's definitely going to be some blizzard conditions with that, even only with our 2-4" of snow.

Hey, I live in Norton Shores...I'm guessing close to where you lived then. :) Did you like this area? I moved here about a year and a half ago. Do you remember some good lake effect storms in the Muskegon area when you lived here? Unfortunately we haven't really had any good Southwest flow lake effect events which is when it seems we'd cash in the most. (We got about 8 to 10 inches from the lake effect last weekend though) and are expecting 1 to 2 feet this weekend!

Yeah usually Muskegon cashes in nicely off of a SW flow...depending on if the les bands can hug the shoreline(which usually happens in a NNW flow) you might be getting some nice totals along with the sypnotic. There was a storm in the mid 90's that dropped about 40 inches in grand haven over a weekend. Houses had drifts to their rooflines out in the country...it can get crazy there!

Shut off here for a little bit. She's really wrapping up on radar...

Did you get much mixing? There was one hour where La Crosse reported a changeover, but other than that it looked like you got moderate to heavy snow all night.

Interesting.. Never hard of that one? I'll have to look it up. Anything else on it? Some of the big ones that come to mind is Jan 99 and Dec 2001 however i think the highest totals may have been a bit south of there? I believe Bloomingdale ( Van Buren ) got over 60" from the 2001 event. Hopefully at some point i'll end up out that way.. I am all for crazy as far as this goes. :scooter:

I noticed a disturbing trend for our folks holding out hope further east. The rgem and now the ukie want to open that closed ULL as the trough reaches ohio and the low escapes much more quickly northeast

I'm still trying to figure out what happened to the secondary development over VA/PA a lot of the models were indicating 36 hours ago. Seems like right now it's just the primary tracking through Lk Erie/NY and that's all she wrote. I know there's a bias with models for transferring energy from primaries too quickly, but the fact that this thing occluded so early would have made me think a transfer was more likely.
