michsnowfreak Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 LOL Grand Rapids just cant catch a break... Does anyone know a decent page where you can see what the current snow depth is in that area? Official depth at GRR was 14" at 7am this morning. Pretty much any reported snow depth in the southern half of Michigan is going to be the observers best guess. Undoubtedly some will probably go too high and some too low, and I dont even really think theres a right or wrong answer, unless they are specifically calling the deepest drift of the lowest spot from wind tunnel effect as the current depth.

cyclone77 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 DVN down to 1/8 mile now with 53mph winds. Snow has stopped here. Picked up 0.8". 2.8" total since midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Some official numbers... Detroit picked up 2.7" today, further increasing the snowiest January on record, monthly total now 34.6" and the season total 51.3". We are now just 0.4" away from surpassing Dec 1974 and becoming the 2nd snowiest month on record! As a side note, Detroit is already tied for 29th snowiest winter on record, and today is exactly the halfway point in the snow season, statistically speaking. Flint picked up 2.1" today, so they too increased their snowiest January on record, monthly total now 31.6" and season total 50.1". Toledo, OH picked up 2.5" today, so they are incredibly at 38.9" in January, over 8" higher than their previous snowiest MONTH on record! They are at 50.6" on the season, which ALREADY places them at their 13th snowiest winter to go, and we are just at the halfway mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitelakeroy Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 kinda a general idea of depths in the area. Not very accurate IMBY (it should be shaded 12-18" here). Lots of snow in MI!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know you still had that much... nice! Been a great year for the entire sub edit... excited to see what kind of lake rise we get this year in MI/Huron. I follow closely.

cyclone77 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Had one last little snow shower that hit with the front. Vis went down to a few hundred yards again. Most of the snow this time was snow pellets. Pretty much a whiteout out there at the moment with 45mph winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 35" of snow in detroit this month and only a 8" now depth at airport dam rain, but you sometimes have to play with that rain line to get the big months and pattern. I bet Feb brings a couple good storms plus the usual nicks and dimes and their snow pack will be a lot more respectable to their snowfall totals.

At least we had a 15-18" snowdepth at some point early in the month which is outrageous by our standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a great year for the entire sub edit... excited to see what kind of lake rise we get this year in MI/Huron. I follow closely. I figured that is why you said that. Yeah my depth mostly varies 12"-18" with of course 3'+ drifts and a few 6"-8" low spots from drifting. The good ice cover will help stabilize the lakes some. They would rise if we can continue/get some stormy conditions into spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Radar returns somewhat breaking up. Looking like 0.4-0.7" likely. radar looks pretty good for another 2 quick hits.. bring out the special ruler and you should be able to measure double than your likely with no problem.

DTW is up to 10" at 7pm.....they peaked at 16" on January 6/7 and bottomed out at 4" January 11-13 after a useless thaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Is there a shot in the dark at topping the 38.4" record all time for any month at DTW? I'm not sure if anything interesting is on the horizon after this, but we only have 5 days left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How cool would a big cold march be again this yr like last! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milwaukee has some catching up to do. no chance of catching you the way you measure and they measure lucky we're even as close as we are considering the big storm pattern has pretty much sucked here outside one lucky storm.. I don't see the big storm pattern changing much and the haves will get richer and the poor poorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
