I always love it when they add that. They must think everyone's like BowMe walking out wearing nothing but thongs and Coppertone.

 

IWX even mentioned single digit wind chills down here in the tropics.

 

Lol! Heck I saw someone wearing shorts today.

 

Frontal snow moving over the Mackinaw.

Hopefully me:)

 

 

But you're on the west side aren't you Nicky? This looks to smack my old backyard on the east side. APX showing 12-15" there. Sometimes I really miss living in the northland, though I've been really fortunate getting bullseyed with that pounding last week down here along the sunset coast. No complaints here, none

snow has gotten steadier again. have picked up 2.5". really hard to tell exactly but that matches some reports(3.5") nearby.  grass is totally covered.

bands have become more connected to superior as well.

 

 

Good observation, the superior bands and Lake Michigan bands are now on the same flow pattern, earlier they were not connected.

Not to be outdone by areas farther north along Lake Michigan IWX has issued a LES advisory for 3-7 inches in favored geographical areas from now till Sunday morning.  Supposed to ramp up later today into the overnight hours but I drove through a nice squall on the west side of South Bend earlier this morning on my way back to Elkhart.

Actually, this time looks like we will be, but hey, we already scored 11/12-Nov down here so we're actually ahead of the game so to speak. I'm still parking next to the piles from that dumping. That was a very moist snow for LE and I suspect this will be more traditional fluffy stuff overnight. Looks like IWX got a little bolder on the high-end range. Hope it doesn't backfire on 'em. They shot low last event. Would be nice to see events of all types over-performing going into this winter. :santa:

Temp been falling since sunrise, now near steady at 20°.

 

13z HRRR for snowfall

 

acsnw_t7sfc_f15.png

 

The HRRR usually underestimates LES.... According to this, the hardest hit spot will be close to 5 inches, where we know the hardest hit spot will easily be in double digits.

 

That's 15 hours, I would assume a few places would hit a foot by that time.

 

I guess we will find out.

What's it problem then? Can't figure out the correct ratios?

 

Just stepped outside into the wind. It's brutal... wind chill +6°
