Wow..New Eurotrash clobbers Lakes Region Late Thanksgiving weekend

[snowstormcanuck]

Dry air has been the killer up here. So far only flurries. Maybe we can squeak out a dusting later. So far no measurable precip today.

Wow, that really sucks. IIRC, you guys were supposed to be in the heart of the snowband per the model consensus.

[michsnowfreak]

Its going to be quite a sharp cutoff wherever it sets up. However, not liking how showery/spotty the radar looks.

The latest model trends do show a dry slot so to speak setting up for a few hours before the deform swings through in the overnight, from about 1am-6am should be our best window for snow. We knew all along that the best snow would be in a narrow band to our west, so as CRAZY as it sounds, I actually wouldnt mind a bit for a few dry hours to at least let some of the standing water soak into the grass ahead of the snow . Surface temps look to quickly fall below freezing during the snow, plus it will be overnight, so solid 10-1 ratios certainly seem plausible, so hopefully we will ring out a good 1 inch here downriver, with 2-3" your way.

Shades of GHD right now.. Tiny tiny flakes but a whole lot of them, and windy.

[Thundersnow12]

this is sweet! from LOT of a loop of the changeover today using dual-pol radar

Lots of wrecks I am guessing throughout Grant???

I don't know about Grant County, but up here in Huntington County, it has been a real mess since about 2 PM. Many wrecks and probably close to 100 slide offs. I thought we had some thundersnow around 6:30, but it ended up being power flashes. We've had numerous power outages.

I measured 4.6" of cement at 7PM.

DTW reporting a rain/snow mix, still 39F though

Already looking to do so as we speak. Unless i end up right on the edge as it continues to pivot.

Things went downhill starting with the 12Z models on Sunday. Oh well.

Congrats to the folks who got the snow.

Normally I'd be pissed, but it's only November 29th.

[Stebo]

Started mixing snow here bout 20 mins ago, now we are predominantly snow with a little rain mixing in. Temps are still high though at 37.

[Jonger]

but .1-1" in Eastern Wayne

This looks like thanksgiving 2004 all over again.

[dmc76]

Heavy Snow currently grass almost covered

I just had fun in IDV. Hopefully this isn't too large of an image.

Power line just pulled off the house. FML

If we have a repeat of 2004-05 then Im ALL for it! Plus, we will make up for it later in the winter when a storm fringes downriver. Last winter was the first in my memory where there were no storms that REALLY had a huge cutoff between western Wayne and eastern Wayne. Usually we have one that we are on the sh*t end and one that we are the jackpot.

I converted the latest summary to inches. I hit 2.06"... only natural that I'd overachieve... eh stormstormcanuk? haha

Call me crazy but it looks like most of the precip is done east of me and it looks like it will be done for several hours before we get back into the tail end.

[Thundersnow12]

3" in the last hour 2 miles sw of Peru, IN via EM. total now up to 9.5"

[weatherbo]

snowing still, nearly 9" I'd say. with the wettness of the snow, this is the worst i have ever seen the roads.

NO POWER. MANY DOWNED TREE BRANCHES.

[CoastalWx]

Nice mid level lapse rates at DTX. Easy to see why some of the snow is convective.

[michsnowfreak]

see my above post. Thats what I expected to happen based on the latest models. dry slot then snow developing as the deform swings through.

Not crazy since it's reached it's pivot.

[michsnowfreak]

we knew it would be a small band that had some crazy totals, and you are in it. What are your biggest snowstorm totals in recent years?

[dmc76]

Good thing it will rotate back in overnight and brings us our whopping 1-2"

we knew it would be a small band that had some crazy totals, and you are in it. What are your biggest snowstorm totals in recent years?

Its like hitting the 50/50 jackpot to get that amount in a storm like this

[Chargers09]

Im like a mile or two from the cutoff and dryslot. Holding my breath.

[dmc76]

Its so funny as soon as it turns to snow.....guess what! DRYSLOT love it

Just across from Detroit

WINDSOR, Ont. -- Tecumseh and Lakeshore residents must refrain from flushing their toilets as unsanitary waters may seep into unprotected basements.

The Town of Tecumseh and the Town of Lakeshore are asking residents to cease the use of wastewater generating activities, such washing machines, dishwashers, toilets and showers, until sewer levels subside.

I saw from your list that Windsor had over 3" of rain. I believe it. We were at 2.24" imby near the Detroit River at 2:30, at the time DTW to my west was "only" at 1.90".
