hm8 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 and Im thinking they got closer to an inch near hm8 in Ann Arbor. Actually I'm back in West Bloomfield for a week so I dunno (although looking at the radar briefly last night, it seemed like the band stayed just to the south of campus last night) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastFromTheEast Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Full Sunshine and only up to 23 at 2 o'clock in late February.. Nice! Snowpack should stay in tact for today at least.. Tomorrow? Drip City unfortunately.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Just got back from Harrison,MI. There was anywhere from 8-15 inches on the ground. Below that some old snow in the woods... Got up to my waste. Another 180 miles for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Snow showers all day, had to drive to Westland and man did it vary every half mile it seemed, from nothing to a fresh 0.5-0.7" or so, including right by DTW, everything was white again there. Meanwhile we did barely squeeze out 0.1" here earlier, but it mostly has since blew into the cracks, and sublimated, so its still bare here. Some snow pellets today too.

turtlehurricane Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Strolled out onto Lake Mendota today since it's such a nice sunny day. Plenty of people fishing, and I saw a few ATVs in the distance as well as a bonfire. Winter days like this are what make me love winter. High of 28 °F today, NWS was spot on.

Geos Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 High 27° today, not a cloud in the sky. About 3° below guidance for today. Saw about 25 deer in a snowy field by my house at dusk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy crap you have no snow???? There is a solid 4 inches here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Wow. What was your forecast before the LES started? As I said, no use getting excited for LES here, just hope to be surprised. We had just a trace overnight, just enough to LIGHTLY dust the rooftops and such...while areas literally 3-5 miles to my south looked to have gotten a half inch, and Im thinking they got closer to an inch near hm8 in Ann Arbor. Also looks like a heavy dusting in the city of Detroit and the Wayne/Oakland county border which was supposed to be much too far north for the LES last night. Yes it wont last and its just stat-padder snow, a term that has been coined this winter around here, but now that Im left out of the stat-padder snow I can tell you it sucks, and I will welcome it with open arms, never calling it names like "stat-padder" again The forecast was initially for 2", but they bumped it to 6" at 3am. We received around 6" in the end. The final total will be released this week. It really feels like our best snows this winter have come from "out of the blue". Nice pics Mike. I'll be up in Barrie today. Hopefully I'll get slammed although the bands seem to be weakening now that dry air is getting entrained in the decreasingly cyclonic flow. Thanks. How was it up there?

snowstormcanuck Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks. How was it up there? The squalls already died out by the time I got there but there was a solid 8-10" generally on the ground with some impressive drifts. Fresh snow too so very powdery. Quite beautiful compared to the turd brown landscape I get to look at here in Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, you're are torching out there Cyclone! About 10° colder here. Yeah it is. Up to 50 now. Pretty impressive considering all the snow that's on the ground. It's disappearing quickly though.

hawkeye_wx Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Yeah it is. Up to 50 now. Pretty impressive considering all the snow that's on the ground. It's disappearing quickly though. EDIT: btw it was only 26 for a high yesterday, so a HUGE change today. Yeah, yesterday was colder than expected, but today the temp in Iowa is surging. 50s in the southern half of the state has caused almost the entire band of snowcover to vanish already. My backyard, of course, still has an inch or so as it's always the last place to melt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Wind advisory is up till 4pm. So far the winds haven't reached criteria for communities near the lake. I think 21mph wind was the highest sustained wind so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still some snow on the trees here, that hasn't gotten knocked down yet. What a difference between Davenport and Dubuque. 50° vs. 39°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 47F....to think 5-7 days ago or so I was preparing myself for 20 inches of snow about now... Lot of sun earlier, but more clouds now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Holy crap you have no snow???? There is a solid 4 inches here. Had 2.2" Thursday night that almost completely (except for an isolated patch) soaked up into the mushy ground as temps hovered between 34-37F all afternoon. L tracked over Detroit, 70 miles NW of projections. Just NW of DTW they kept about an inch of crusty snowcover after dews and temps dropped, and then much more out your way.

turtlehurricane Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 45 °F, went hiking in the woods on the north side of Lake Mendota and got so warm I had to take my jacket off! Still 2-3" of snow in shady wooded areas, completely burnt off everywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 ORD has failed to record a 50F+ temp this month. if it ends that way, it will be the first month since January 2011 not to feature at least one 50F+ reading. Tues/Wed might have 50F potential depending on how various things work out, so the streak still has a chance to continue. ORD hit 53 today, so the streak will likely continue into next Fall.
