Harry Perry Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 GRR seems pretty certain that a I-94 convergence band will set up but I'm not feeling it. Looks like we started a bit of a WSW flow?? I bet Calhoun and Jackson get dropped if current trends continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we started a bit of a WSW flow?? I bet Calhoun and Jackson get dropped if current trends continue. Winds have been moving around from S to W to WSW this afternoon. This is keeping anything too organized from happening so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Snow is picking up here in the last hour. All the way from Lake Michigan. It will be interesting to see how this band sets up for SEMI. Could someone see 2" out of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 ESE of Holland is really getting hit good right now. Couple nice bands closer to Blackrock. MI has it's own snowhole for this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Indeed, Geos! I think I am going to change my location to Spring Lake township, because that is actually where I live...right on the Muskegon/Ottawa counties line. I have noticed that I picked a good location to live, as we often seem to get more than Muskegon itself...as is the case today. Over a foot now with snow (nice size flakes) just dumping on us! Down near Allegan there are reports of 20 inches or so...I'm not sure if that is from the past several days or actual snow on the ground. What I do know is that what we are getting is very heavy, so Allegan, which is right under that solid band, could certainly have a large amount. There are talks of a possible Southwest Lake enhanced event tomorrow night into Friday...which is when the Muskegon area is central location for nice snowfalls. Winter has FINALLY arrived and I am so happy. Now, I hope our friends in Chicago and area can cash in some tomorrow when the winds go Northeast.

weatherbo Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 went for a hike up in the woods and a walk around the yard to measure depth. I measured in 4 open places and they ranged from 17-21". So I'd say 18-19" on the ground, after 5 very fluffy inches since about 2 am today. Nice bands rotating thru tonight too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxman1952 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 The Detroit wx ofice is taking about 3-6" maybe 8" for the eastern "Thumb" tonight where NE winds are suppose to begin. I didn't see where the present SW WSW winda will go NNE. Any thoughts on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see where the present SW WSW winda will go NNE. Any thoughts on this? The very weak clipper low situated over Lk Huron/Bruce Peninsula is going to sink south and dissolve. The corollary of this is that the winds are going to turn NNE for several hours tonight/early tomorrow. Some of the high res models are hitting the area from Pt. Huron to the thumb pretty hard.

BuffaloWeather Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 You guys see the 2 Meso Lows, one over Lake Ontario and the other over Georgian Bay.

Yep.. Not looking good for us. Inch and if we are really lucky 2.. Not gonna be the 3+ they had been calling for that is for sure. Meso low screwed us good. Been snowing better then the radar would suggest but nothing too intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
