dmc76 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Lots of dry air working into the Eastern Half of Northern Lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I'm sure rush hour is a whole lot of fun right now. Band of moderate snow approaching (20-25 dBZ), after which it'll basically be over. 4-6" reports across Dane county, looks like we're the jackpot this side of the lake!

kevlon62 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Just talked to wife who is travelling home and currently west of McHenry. Several roads are closed in the Woodstock, Bull Valley, McHenry area due to vehicle spinouts and non-negotiable hills for cars. She reports very little plowing and snow high enough to scrape underside of car. We are stopping in Port Washington for some grub. Snow has been lesser in intensity since passing downtown but things are well caked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Several reports of Thundersnow and Very Heavy Snow around The Traverse City area. Leelanau County and Benzie County has been getting destroyed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Close to 2" here. Will measure once it's all done. This storm booked it too quickly for big totals anywhere around here. Trees are plastered like they were last week though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Several reports of Thundersnow and Very Heavy Snow around The Traverse City area. Leelanau County and Benzie County has been getting destroyed! The surface low is now 987 mb and centered near klan. Current movement and model guidance still on track for the low to move up to Saginaw Bay overnight and then out over Lake Huron by 12z. The low is deepening quickly with the pressure falls of 8-9 mb every 3 hours. Using the fall center as a guide for the next couple of hours, this track will hold. This track will also put the middle level warm nose into counties adjacent to Saginaw Bay. So the advisory will be good there as that are has seen mainly rain and will continue with that, until the cold air wraps around later tonight. So far with the snow, we have been starting to receive moderate to heavy snow observations from spotters, and some 2 to 3 hour snow fall reports between 1 to 3 inches. Also, multiple reports of thunder near mbl, cad and fks as the convective elements along the leading edge of the dry slot begin to make their way into the SW portion of the forecast area. There will be some brief heavy burst of snow with these elements. Will be updating the grids shortly to take this into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I'm heading up to whereever the jackpot is tomorrow morning. The snowmobile trailer is hooked up and I'm ready to roll at 6am! I'm thinking just NW of Cadillac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoof Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Just had a few nice rumbles of thunder, and this big orange blob near me is trying so hard to changeover to snow, has those big white melted flakes mixing in with the rain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Storm has finally moved in here....seems to be a snow/snowpellet/sleet mix, Very wet snow accumulation, but it is sticking on all roads. Not even a half inch here yet though. Im worried we can kiss those insane totals goodbye. Obviously though, fresh snow atop a deep snowpack is my heaven regardless, it will be GORGEOUS here tomorrow....but it is no different up here than back at home wrt the NAM and its insane totals. LOL to 2 feet that it had progged the other day...no way that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traverse City area looks like theyre getting pounded, but they only had a few inches on the ground beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk hard to say what the other areas are reporting. Snow is really picking up Though its nowhere near as heavy as the snow I had at home Feb 10th. Really thought I was going to see insane snowfall rates. Still might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
