February 25-27 Winter Storm Part 4

I extend my heartiest belated congratulations to you, Geos.  What an amazing storm total.  I haven't experienced a storm of that magnitude in years.

 

Thanks. It's great to look at, but it shoveling that much of 7:1 ratio about is a real bear. Luckily I can sleep in tomorrow! :)

LOT mentioned everything after 7am today about was unrelated to the storm directly. Since 7am I've had 1.9". At the end of the week I could be between 16-17" total!

 

South of Sheboygan takes the cake though. Over 17" since early yesterday.

Was that you that replied to me on FB this morning?

So the system snow ended at 7am technically.

I don't think the snowflakes have ceased falling here at all since 12:20pm yesterday. That deformation band back built last night before I went to bed and must have hovered in the area for awhile.

I think it's safe to say this corner of the state is the snowiest! haha

36.6" here this month, 44.3" through 4pm today this season.

I actually was the one working and replying on fb yesterday. Lots of good stuff posted from the snowbelt of Lake and McHenry counties, as we've taken to calling them at the office lol. So you went from well below normal to above normal for the season in 1 month. Pretty amazing. I believe ORD is just shy of '11/'12 still but I think March will offer up some opportunities to finish with a respectable amount of snow after the horrid start. And RFD is only about 6" below normal now. Big rally there too.

Snow just not giving up in Madison. I had 4.5" through early this morning, but about 3" more today and this evening for ~7.5 total. This wraparound has been better than expected and not quite over yet. Nothing like what some of the lakeshore areas saw but it's still been a really solid storm here.

 

Same here - these little waves have been persistent today. Sounds like Madison has probably gotten close to 50" now...

 

Little LES affecting the local area now. Probably at 16" for the 36 hour total now.

 

If anyone wants to take the rest of the snow out of my driveway, they're welcome to it! :P

It's been absolutely ripping here for the last few hours. I'd say I've got around 2-3" inches from this intense band that refuses to move.

The evening snow was a nice surprise, and DTW once again owned me. I had 2.3" this evening on 0.23" of water (no model showed that much precip). We had bouts of bigger flakes but out by DTW they were hammered with massive feathers. Add the 2.3" to the 2.2" and my "storm total" (since its technically the same storm) of 4.5". But thats a weather technicality. Current snow depth ranges from 2-3" of slushy snow. We have YET to drop below 33F the entire lot of the storm (two-day total is precip 1.42", snow 4.5"). Its funny because I guess technically this is the 2nd biggest storm total of the winter for me, though it was one of the most frustrating events of the season.

DTW picked up an unexpected 3.5" late this afternoon and evening, so their two-day total snowfall was 6.5" with 1.57" precip. They have 4-5" on the ground. With this evenings snowfall, DTW passed me up by a few tenths of an inch on the season, and they have officially locked up an above average snow season.

Storm total at YYZ is 7.3" with maybe a little more to come.

 

Storm total at downtown is: 0.0" :lmao: That's going to come up some for sure.

 

I'm sure there will be an adjustment to the downtown data. LOL. An inch of wet snow fell overnight here by Lake Ontario. Maybe a bit more towards Bloor St.

 

Pearson/YYZ making a late charge is nice to see.

 

BTW, congrats on reaching 40" for the season.

According to that NWS write-up this is Madison's 4th snowiest February on record at 22.7".  And 4 of the top 5 have been in the last 6 years!!

February is the snow-blitz month now.  I think it goes in cycles though because it seems like in the few years prior to 2007 February mostly had crap for snow here.

Picked up 2.5" overnight bringing my storm totals to 7".

I got quite a bit of snow overnight too. Still have to measure though.

 

Yup. That's what it looked like here this morning. I took a quick shot that I'll upload when I get home.

I'll see if I can get some pictures up this evening.

Ended up with a ton of rain and 3.0 inches of total snow accumulation. Current snow depth is 2".  Largest snow event of the winter for the Warsaw, IN area! The NAM did a good job with the warm layer aloft here...the GFS not so much.  I would have had over a foot of snow if the GFS thermal profiles would have panned out.

 

We were going back through climo and FWA only averages 1 six inch snowfall every 2 winters.  So...pretty awful snow climo around here.  Hopefully I can move north at some point.

3.0" isn't bad...all things considered. Glass half full of course.

 

And pretty awful snow climo...LAF is around one six inch snowfall every 2-3 winters. Last one here was Jan 31-Feb 1, 2008. Yeah.
