BowMeHunter Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 GRR got a surprise 13.8" of cement March 2-3 2002 on a storm initially advertized as a "wintry mix". March 21-22nd I got a good 15" in 2008. how much did grand rapids get? Looks like we had a good foot in the storm you mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 To redeem myself here in the 12Z GFS snowfall map in INCHES Compared with the 12Z NAM: Yeah, you should have let the GFS map in cm be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we had a good foot in the storm you mentioned above. Don't remember. I was living out-of-state at that time. Where can you look up past snowfalls going back more than 10 years?

Natester Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I'm kind of glad that the heaviest snow will be to my south since this is going to be a cement snow with strong winds. The December 20, 2012 blizzard did enough damage to trees and powerlines because of the very high water content of the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimChgo9 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Props to LOT. They seem to really be nailing this one and considering every shortcoming of this event. Snow melting away here. Gonna need a cold night tonight to cool down surfaces. Yeah, I read that. Nice that they are on the ball. I am betting, as I posted earlier, we wind up with more rain than snow in some spots around here, and overall I am betting the LOT CWA struggles to see 3" from what I am pretty much assuming is going to be a wet, slushy, sloppy mess by the time Wednesday morning gets here. Currently, we are at 38 degrees with sun, and no snow to be seen, except for the shady spots. There is no way we get more than 3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd shoot michsnowfreak or chicago wx a personal message on here and I'm sure they could get you pointed in a better direction for your area data.

Some lucky person may hit 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathernut Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 nice to see this slight south shift in models 24 hours out. Starting to look very similar to the last storm where the GTA/Hamilton/K-W is in the bullseye. I can't remember the last winter this happened twice.... enjoy folks!

ayuud11 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 NE is nice and a whole hell of a lot of luck to get anything decent. Well you did really well back in 07/08,96" of mostly synoptic with little help from the lake, That's impressive you are right though NE winds are rare..

frostfern Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Okay, they do have F6 archived back to 2008. It looks like GRR has 6.7" for the March 21-22 storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine MKE gets lake effect mainly during synoptic snowfalls. It's not the same as real lake effect, but it does bump up the totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 12z RGEM drills northern IN with ice before the warm layer aloft cools. Setup seems too marginal to go with big ice...probably more of a nowcast thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I know MKE forced LOT's hand last night with the WSW, but it's nice to see that Gino and the gang were correct in thinking this wouldn't hit warning criteria. How cool would it have been to see LOT be the only area not to post a WSW and be correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 cool and thanks. Maybe shoot the grand rapids office an email and they could maybe help you also... Harry might be of good help also. GL with this event. I don't care about this event anymore. It will be enough to freshen up the dirty piles and cover up any bare grass. I'm going to hump the next fantasy land storm. The ensemble means look cold and in March that probably means snow rather than suppression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Perry Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 GRR has "high confidence for more than 4 inches for much of the region." They also mention road temperatures being warm at the start of the event, and are wondering how the snow will impact them.Sounds like it will certainly be sloppy.

Thundersnow12 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Euro solid as a rock. .75"+ over Chicago metro at 36hr. Almost identical at 30/36hr compared to 0z run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SE part of the forecast region has the best chance I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't have driven a straight pin up my fanny with a 20lb sledge hammer just before the euro came out. Nice to see it held especially down there. That's going to be a fun 6 hr humping if realized.
