weatherbo Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 The lake is dealing up there, big time DBZ returns. Gonna be 2' easy in munising area by tomorrow night. My next goal of mine is to buy a cabin/land somwhere between South Boardman and East Jordan. Love it up there. When Kalkaska gets it, they get it, but a little further north in EJ to Boyne City/Walloon Lake over towards here, seems to get more persistent snows. either way it's like a snow lottery tho. IMO Antrim county isthe snow sweet spot for NWL. and of course Gaylord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 lol I think you have to separate it out. The UP can go toe to toe with anybody in the east but it gets more complicated when you talk about all of Michigan. Agreed, if you are talking the UP only then it's one thing, but this entire state isn't better than VT/NH/ME, not by a long shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 You don't see this every day. --- Bo, beat me too it. Just noticed the Civil Emergency. Nope. You know it's becoming a big deal when you see this. We can't imagine the amount of snow that is occurring in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is, there is a small section of the U.P. (Escanaba/Menominee) that isnt anything special because of its lack of LES....its basically the snowbelts. the snowbelts of this state are the best winter rec spot east of the rockies imo.

dmc76 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I wouldn't argue this... Everything from Oscoda to MP and south to Jackson is just a notch above Ohio. Even the coastal areas of NH and ME is probably pretty similar to places in SWMI. Like Freak said the only places is really Saginaw valley and around Detroit southward that is NOT better then ME, NH and VT other then that MI kills in the snowfall department.

michsnowfreak Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I wouldn't argue this... Everything from Oscoda to MP and south to Jackson is just a notch above Ohio. I wouldnt go that far. Its amazing the difference that is seen often from Detroit to Toledo. Its as if the state line is a snow boundary. Then again NE OH has a sweet snowbelt. Detroits far northern suburbs usually do better than many other nonsnowbelt areas of lower MI. This Great Lakes have a huge influence on the climate of this region from place to place. Bottom line....in the state of Michigan, you will not find an area that averages under 40 inches, and you will find a handful of areas that average 150"+.

michsnowfreak Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 That small area still smashes the rest of the state in snowfall. Not really. In fact, if you look at the season snow maps for the UP to 2002, SE MI has received more snowfall than that area of the UP in 6 of the 10 winters. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/climate/local_data.php?wfo=mqt Of course this is total snowfall...naturally they have more days with snow on the ground.

In the late fall, inland areas will get snow when I get rain because of the warm influence of the lake. late winter when ice becomes a factor, the lake snows can hug the coast a little more.... but YEAH, orographic lift FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 8" here for the day and no signs of letting up. over 2' on the ground. I'm estimating 27" excluding drifts. less than an 1/8th mile in vis now. i'd say 2" per hour at this moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
