Indystorm Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Yep, Gilbert, I may have to alter my travel plans and leave Elkhart Tues.late afternoon or else wait till Thanksgiving morning to go west to the Calumet region for the holiday. Don't want to fight zero visability and 6-12 inches or more of snow with 1 to 2 inch an hr. rates. Will be watching this forum and forecasts closely.

At most, the band will only be several miles wide in the heaviest area.... They're really good down there at keeping the toll road clear in events like this. I wouldn't alter travel plans for it.

hm8 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Light snow falling in Ann Arbor. 30F Sidewalks getting a coating in the diag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 A few hours of windblown snow tonight as I was out and about. For some reason, only a trace imby (some snow dusted into cracks is about all) but 0.1-0.2" in nearby areas. Either way, its nice to see flakes, but as said, that novelty of the first snowflakes/dusting/etc has passed ever since our solid coating Nov 11th...Im ready to break out the shovel!

Jonger Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Light snow falling in Ann Arbor. 30F BTW, Ann Arbor doesn't average 55-60 inches... I would put them around 45. Although they probably averaged that last decade 2000-2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although they probably averaged that last decade 2000-2010. Longterm Id put them closer to 50". 45" is just a few inches higher than Detroit and Ann Arbor definitely averages several inches higher. Like you said however...the last decade it is indeed 55-60". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 http://www.nws.noaa.gov/climate/xmacis.php?wfo=dtx This shows the 58 figure for the 30 year average, but so many locations are wrong, its hard to believe how accurate that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Picked up 0.5" of snow this morning. At RAC? Seemed to be more on the south side of the city. Liquid equiv. was only 0.02". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U of M has a very dedicated weather team it appears. They man two stations in Ann Arbor, and follow the 6-hour rule for measuring snow. So, basically, they are already in one of the snowiest areas of SE MI and unlike so many coop observers, they measure the right way. And for sure everyones averages took a hike after the 2000s.

michsnowfreak Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 based on what? The first order stations are good (DTW, FNT, etc) but its all computer database numbers, so stations with a lot of missing data (but a long period of record) will be flat out wrong.

michsnowfreak Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Elevation is a huge deal in SEMI It is...but as I said....missing/incorrect data renders many of the non-first order stations completely incorrect. For instance, no way does ARB average 58.3" but Howell 32.2". No way does DTW average 44.1" and Grosse Pointe 27.2" . I take all but DTW, FNT, MBS, DTX, and ARB with a grain of salt.

Brewers Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 At RAC? Seemed to be more on the south side of the city. Liquid equiv. was only 0.02". At my house. It took awhile for it to start snowing around here. Definitely more snow in MKE especially north of the city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFF Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 DAB here in Windsor area. Got in a light salting on two of my main lots which have zero tolerances WRT snow. Everything seems to be falling into place for winter to be a success. Its funny how two locations with a few miles of each other can vary with so much deviation. I wonder how much difference there is between Detroit City and Windsor airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Snow becoming steadier off the lake..... Should become a bit heavier and blow around as well once the front passes this morning. Currently 6" on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
