Harry Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 That is crazy. You didnt even crack 3" on Dec 26!? I have had 6 events crack 3"+ Considering the seasonal total at Lansing and him being closer to there it makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Lol, yeah the 13-14" glacier will be coated with 6"+ of new snow. I was out today and there is snow piles 20 feet tall already! I can't imagine that NAM hires snowfall map coming true a few pages back. Going to be a while before I see the grass. 4-8" in my grid right now. you have been the spot to beat this Winter! No grass here for a long time either. Sill 20-25" on the ground and it doesn't melt easy at all. I suspect I'll have snow on the ground to some degree the 1st of April. sorry went OT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Considering the seasonal total at Lansing and him being closer to there it makes sense to me. That has been the absolute screwhole in MI this winter (Lansing vicinity). Even worse than BTL Id say. I checked the storm report from the Dec 26 storm and a spotter in Howell reported 3.5" but LAN only had 0.5", very sharp cutoff (in fact just east of Howell the 5"+ amounts started) so it certainly is possible. Lansings biggest snow has been 3.6" on Feb 26/27, everything else was under 3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos has done excellent recently and I certainly envy him but dont forget, it was a nearly snowless winter through January in his area (not literally snowless, but about as close as you can get to snowless at this latitude).

Have fun on your trip north later this week. my neighbor is up there riding now and he says snow and trails are amazing! enjoy the 3ft up there !

They will be on a island of their own after this storm for areas north of I80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDude Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Cheryl Scott on NBC5 Chicago, while nice to look at, really has no clue. She just said since the trend has been northward today, Chicagoland will only receive 3 inches or so in many areas. Way to read the teleprompter, babe. Just nice to look at... Ginger was better at the weather stuff. That being said. NBC is the worse for getting your weather. Their maps are a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been dropping hints at going... Average high is going to start to rocket up soon and the winter will be done statewide soon. I'm not sure I can pull this off. I'm rooting for SW Michigan on this one, well my home wouldn't be bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances of simply seeing a snowstorm last another 2 full months in this state (more like 1.5 months in our part of the state), but for the snowmobilers/ice fishermen, winter is on its last legs.

Chances of simply seeing a snowstorm last another 2 full months in this state (more like 1.5 months in our part of the state), but for the snowmobilers/ice fishermen, winter is on its last legs. Here, there's a law that requires the permanent ice shanty's to be off the lake March 31st. after that, they can be brought out daily but not left. Ice here is 14"+ deep so another 4-5 weeks of ice fishing i bet... unless much above temps come. Avg high here is still below freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lakes are so thick in central Ontario that the official provincial trails route over the lakes and rivers... 3 feet thick isn't uncommon there.
