hm8 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I measure along the home that is blocked by the gusty North winds. Again the buildings and hills here just make everything a giant twisting funnel of wind. When I was standing out there I swear I wa being blown at from every direction at once. Including down. And up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajdos Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Amazing how quickly conditions deteriorated. I was at around 1" around 9pm after that downhill.. somewhere between 3-4" on the ground...blowing and drifting..mini blizzard lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Was standing outside waiting for the arctic front. Though snow was coming down nicely, the air was completely calm and still then the front roared through, for as crummy as this winter has been and as good as the last 4 winters have been, I must say this ranks up there with one of the cooler things Ive been out in. Took a video I am uploading now! Its about 2 mins, 15 secs long as goes from calm snowfall to front barreling through. Hope it turns out. For now, heres some pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Moderate snow again. Its going sideways! Reminds of the GHD storm. Obviously won't hit 11" but 5" possible Nice pics freak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly the snow was much more heavier lol...And look in 3 hours we got almost half of the snowfall that we got in 15 from the GHD storm...That storm failed miserably at least for my area..nothing special..

michsnowfreak Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 This whiteout reminds me more of Feb 20, 2011 than GHD. Its a total winter wonderland outside...eyeballing it we had probably 1.5" ahead of the whiteout front, cant wait to see what we end up with by morning.

Harry Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Well 4 looks to be it for here as that other stuff is falling apart and just dropping light snow. Still blowing around though and yeah it is brutal outside but it is nice and wintry! Nice little overperformer and one of the better ones i have seen here in these parts. Have a few 5+ reports and even a 6.0 in Ottawa and 6.2" from Grand Rapids for the jackpot in this area anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajdos Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Went for a little walk and honestly wow..some drifts are 10" deep! Literally like a mini blizzard. Visibility is down significantly, and winds are still gusting over 20mph.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an uncanny otter Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Dayum, Detroit is getting pounded! Here about an hour away from Detroit we've picked up about 4". Definitely an overperformer, we were forecasted to get about 2-3". It's still snowing heavily out there, I'm thinking we make a run for 5"... dare I say more? Beautiful out there, and tomorrow I have a day off to enjoy the frigid temps. It seems like the less I pay attention to a storm, the more it overperforms, a la Jan.13th 2012. Either way, I'm psyched.

on_wx Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 snowing lightly now. About time. EC is holding it at 2-4" for SW ON to Niagara and 1-2" for T.O. Snow has picked up nicely here, but it looks brief. About 1" through 1230am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I measured 1.4" about an hour and a half or two hours ago. Been light to moderate snow since then, with heavy snow in the last 30 minutes. The front was pretty cool... visibility went down to about 1/3 mile and it was pretty windy. Temp gradient with the front is very impressive as well... temps in the low 10's in IN/West MI while it's still in the mid to upper 20s IMBY. Nice little storm, hopefully It won't drift too much tonight so I can measure in the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 At home I had 2-2.5" before I left the house at 10:30PM. Honestly combined with the wind this should have been an WWA for at least 8 Mile Rd and points North. Especially those areas in The Thumb and Saginaw Valley, some totals there are in the 4-6" range with no WWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwohweather Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Just got home from work in Maumee, Ohio. Just an awful trip home on I-80/90 with multiple wrecks and spinouts. Not a bad little storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 As of 12:40am I was at 4.0" snow and 0.26", with snow still falling at a decent clip. Way overperformer, may end up with 5". Very very pleased! Some more pics and the video. The video is 2 mins, 24 secs long. At the beginning you see the calm snow just before the front moves through, it really gets wild at 1:20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne county probably did just as well as Oakland, we had that blob of moderate snow ahead of the front. I had 1.5" down as the front approached. Over 4" now.
