I've got tickets to tomorrow nights game in Lansing between OSU and MSU, are the roads going to be drivable you think up there tomorrow? They should be, all depends on the wind and how far inland LES goes, but overall I would say yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogieman Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Just curious about something... whatever became of the "Traveler's Advisory" NWS used to issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjwise Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Just curious about something... whatever became of the "Traveler's Advisory" NWS used to issue? Went the way of the Heavy Snow Warning, I think. Some years ago they simplified the winter precip products. If you look at IEM VTEC, you can see lots of theoretical or defunct advisory products (still waiting for my first Ice Accretion Warning myself).

I've got tickets to tomorrow nights game in Lansing between OSU and MSU, are the roads going to be drivable you think up there tomorrow? I-94 was caked with packed snow in a lot of areas this morning. Not sure if the other roads are the same or if it will be any better by tomorrow...but either way it's fine if you have a 4x4, and I managed made it from AA to DTW in my little Seabring albeit with some sliding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue60007 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Started the shoveling process. I'm wearing 2 of everything but I can only take about 10 minutes at a time. Not looking forward to moving the large bank of snow the plows just deposited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 New report of almost 10" in Kitchener. ~6" of that must have fallen within the duration of the freezing rain warning that busted with the 2-4" of snow expected. Guess KW over-performed big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess KW over-performed big time. Pretty much a general bust all around by Environment Canada this time around. Don't really like to rag on them too often but those freezing rain warnings were really a flop... Sad to see your blizzard warning go down. Did you get to experience anything intense?

Was my first blizzard warning! We had a squall last maybe 2 minutes just before 3pm with extremely low visibility, also not much in the way of heavy blowing snow yet. Just your typical garden variety small plumes every so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Looks like the final snowfall at KTOL will end up at 13" of snow. Based on this list of biggest storms since 1900, this will be the #3 biggest snowstorm of all time at Toledo, only behind Feb. 28-Mar. 1, 1900 (22") and Dec. 1-2, 1974 (14"). Pretty much all of NWOH is still shut down because of the winds. Country roads don't even exist right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But AppsRunner is right, country roads are essentially impassable, in fact its nearly a whiteout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 This is what I see looking out my door right now.Also, my glove froze to the door handle when I went to go back inside after attempting to dig one of my cars out of the freshly plowed snow.The distant sun trying to make it through the clouds made for a very arctic-looking sunset tonight as well.

Whitelakeroy Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Finally done with all my digging out, shoveling and snowblowing. Took about 4 hours of work.
