A-L-E-K Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Tuanis is already ahead of Geos and is under much better returns with better LE prospects. Geos will still manage 20"+ though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Took lots of pics around the neighborhood...will post after work tonight. The powder is acrruing to certain objects thickly and gorgeously. Walked around the neighborhood taking snow depth measurments on everyones lawn lol. Depth varies everywhere from 5 to 12" with some notable drifts to 16-18". I originally was thinking depth was a uniform 6-10" then once I got around more found tons of 11-12" spots that dont look like "drifts" to the naked eye, its a very ripply snow (also found some spots as low as 5"). Also...upon clearing the driveway the snow has really picked up intensity and is accumulating very nicely. I would definitely call avg depth about 9" right now, I suspect we will easily pick up another 1-2". This is definitely the best winter scene since February 2011 here, outdoing December 14th snowstorm in my book (and last Christmas' snowstorm). Storm totals (posted at end of other thread)... Wyandotte..... 12/31: 1.7" 01/01: 6.9" 01/02: 1.9" through 8am SO..... 35-hour total: 9.1" 54-hour total: 10.5" DTW airport 12/31: 1.5" 01/01: 6.4" 01/02: 1.9" though 7am SO....... 35-hour total: 8.6" 54-hour total: 9.8" I suspect the final storm total will be along the lines of a 40-45 hour total in the 10-13" range and a 60-65 hour total in the 11-14" range.

Should be a 3 honestly with the blowing and drifting. My father said he could only do about 20-25 on the way to work and he takes US 20 the whole way.

RCNYILWX Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 outside shot at TSSN for far southeastern Cook and Lake Co Indiana? Meso page still showign some cape...just wonder if we'll see a single convergence band strong enough. All the hi res guidance was indicating things maximizing there, so couldn't rule it out I guess. Based on the mosaic, tracing the plume back to the GRB radar, I think a single dominant plume is still possible down here. Expecting convergence to really ramp up mid day into the mid afternoon.
