Stebo Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 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. I am not going to base it upon a 10 year period where we have overachieved and they have grossly underachieved, averages say they beat us handily.

Stebo 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. So jealous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I am not going to base it upon a 10 year period where we have overachieved and they have grossly underachieved, averages say they beat us handily. That is true regarding the last 10 years...but i couldnt find the NWS MQT's average snowfall map of the UP. They had a nice one and I just cant find it (there arent really any first-order stations in that area of the UP either). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Had near white out with the current snow squall. Wow sounds like some good squalls down in OH per you and Buckeye. I wont complain as this winter I have gotten WAY more LES squalls than Ive ever had before, but today has been nothing more than run of the mill snow showers here, missing the heavy squalls to the north, west, and apparently south.

Geos Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I would think traffic would be crawling or at a standstill just north of Gaylord on 75. Looks like the band is going right through Vanderbilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 least it's pretty narrow. 9" here and still snowing. a foot seems very reasonable especially as that heavy band orientates itself nnw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 That squall is coming into northwestern and western areas of the Region of Waterloo right now....should arrive here in 10-15 minutes if my timing is correct http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/radar/index_e.html?id=WSO Apparently WSO radar was over doing intensity or something. Practically all but disappeared on the latest scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hm8 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 looked at radar and started lolling @ I-94 band right now...didn't realize it's been moving south across the whole region. Snow isn't quite as heavy as radar would suggest but its still gorgeous outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 They all blow MI out of the water...Jonger must be trolling because it isn't even close . That map is a joke and way off and not just here in MI. Per that map this area averages 48? I think not. Most areas near-just west of us 131 average between 90 and 105 from Van Buren ( Bloomingdale average, 94.1" ) on north. The 70+ line runs along from halfway between here and Kalamazoo on up to just east of Grand Rapids ( Grand Rapids average is 75.6" per GRR ) on north. All of VT and NH average more than twice the snowfall of much of lower MI including the area people actually live. NH also has Mt. Washington which owns any hyper local lake belt in MI. This is an open and shut case. Michigan is at best 5th in the East. And 5th in the east in snow is about as impressive as 5th in the east in the NBA. Going strictly by population centers with 50k + here is how they rank. A few of the numbers are slightly off ( unsure of the data source they use? ) but it gets to the point. http://www.city-data.com/top2/c464.html'>http://www.city-data.com/top2/c464.html New York ( thanks to Lake Ontario ) actually kicks @ss as far as THIS goes. Pretty sure atleast 50+k live in Muskegon area ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muskegon,_Michigan ) and the average there is about 95" or so. Thus population wise MI/NY are the top 2. Granted MA gives MI a good run. Most of the areas in VT/NH that average that much more are remote ski resorts. Same with the UP. Thus who cares. But yeah i know that was the point.

michsnowfreak Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Nice pics hm! I cannot believe what a snow magnet ARB is. Any idea what their season total is? We had a dusting that blew away in the wind earlier. Although, it is a nice wall of white outside, like a dense fog almost, as that band sinks through. Quickly whitening everything up. Webcams look like they got like at least an inch in Taylor JUST north of me, not sure Ill get that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
