dmc76 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 "Mancelona, Kalkaska, Gaylord" Yep, the golden triangle of the N. LP snowbelt. Its rare if they don't score the best numbers. Enjoy the winter up there! In Leelanau County right now. Getting mod to Hvy snow. 1.5-2" so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 not terrible for 140+ hours out. This is the period I'm watching to end it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 between a 1/4-1/2 mile vis now. have had about an inch so far with another likely before lake wakes up this afternoon. forecasted 3" tonight and another 3" tomorrow. Edit: less than an 1/8 mile now Wicked awesome right now. Visibility less than one quarter mile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewers Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 It's hard to pin down individual waves a week + out like Alek was saying. Clippers can just appear in the short range often enough. I would also be surprised if you and I didn't get more than a couple inches next week. My focus is on the Sunday/Monday clipper and its associated arctic front, the potential is there for some accumulating snow. It's anyone's guess to where the clippers afterwards end up tracking.

weatherbo Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Wicked awesome right now. Visibility less than one quarter mile! Back up to a mile here as the back edge of the snow is just offshore. Interesting to see when it transitions to le only. a quick 2.5" here. some of the heaviest rates all winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajdos Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 This will end up being a parade of flurries for S/E Michigan...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 This will end up being a parade of flurries for S/E Michigan...lol Probably not, if one passes in a favorable track for us it will be your typical 1-3" 2-4" of fluff. Assuming flurries is silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we get a good clipper. I hate the way it looks outside. I cannot stand the dry/cold.. You know what's really surprising is the amount of sunshine we have been getting. I don't recall winters with this much sunshine. We always get the LE clouds. TBH I dont mind the sunshine, i'd rather have sunshine and be dry thn having to contend with clouds and dry conditions.

snowstormcanuck Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 There was a nudge south wrt the weekend clippers on yesteray afternoon's guidance, but it appears as though it was a blip. All this seems to hinge on whatever happens beyond 120 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Gotta drive if you want to see snow this winter.... I'm gone Friday night again.We actually had more snow than much of northern MI around new years. But now with a clean slate for all but the UP and the forecast there is no doubt the UP is gonna be the place to be in the coming weeks. In fact while all of the north country should see plenty of snow in the next few weeks there will probably be some AWESOME pockets of deep snowpack in the favored spots.Regarding SE MI I wouldnt be shocked if we only get a dusting or healthy coating but im sure we can squeeze out a few fluffy inches. IF we gt only flurries ill be shocked. Model qpf aside as ORH said this is the best 10-day clipper pattern we have seen in like 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundersnow12 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 22/23 clipper is looking good on the 18z GFS and consistency is there. just about to post about that run. Amazing what the smallest impulse can do running over the arctic front, just a little kink in the charts, can't really even tell until you get down to 850mb.

hm8 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'll go on record...this clipper ends the futility streak With WAA not being a problem and the multiple chances if a few are totally moisture starved...looks like a lock to end somewhere in the clipper train at least.

A-L-E-K Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Bold. lol. I am after all only calling for 1"+ from a clipper with no chance for mixing. It's not the most unprecedented scenario. If this period fails it's about to get silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
