Hoosier Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 LAF really got bent over with this one. Missed to the north...and returns intensifying to the south now. Going to be just a few flakes that don't amount to anything here. I guess it was about time our luck ran out. No matter, congrats to those that are faring well tonight. Come on dude, I know you're in DD mode but there's been more than a few flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 When that band hit here at the airport the sky unleashed the hardest snow I have ever seen. Probably one of the most thrilling 10 minutes working here in the entire 5 years I have been here. Lol this is utterly ridiculous. I was thinking people were crazy saying this is the heaviest stuff in years but it is legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chances14 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Back roads are going to be a mess here for at least the next few days after all this snow and with the wind we are suppose to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I felt kind of like a earlier tonight when the snow hit here, but glad to see areas east verify how crazy it really was. Definitely gonna go down as a memorable event. Ranks up there pretty close to, if not even with the Feb '03 squall of snow event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Come on dude, I know you're in DD mode but there's been more than a few flakes. Well, I must be in a localized screw zone...but there's been very little snow here at my place. Seriously, no DD. Must be different in other spots of the city/area.

Must be different in other spots of the city/area. It was pretty brief and not coming down all that hard but looked better than it was with the wind blowing around.

AppsRunner Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 It is crazy around here..I-94 band is going nuts. LakeEffectJan27th2014.jpg Heaviest snow i have seen in a number of years. Wow. Incredible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Lol I see see guy out walking in the street briefly before total whiteout just blasted in with a 40mph-ish gust (estimated ) blasted in a moment ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 KDTX is like meh, big deal, around a inch or less... just terrible. Funny thing is, two spotter reports from the NWS employee across Oakland County were 2.1" and 2.4" respectively (this was about an hour ago). I'll admit, this was a solid bust. Went from expecting little/nothing (to be fair, this wasn't modeled) to now a quick 2-4" with near blizzard conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Absolutely nothing officially measured, but just judging by scraping my foot on the driveway when I was outside, I would bet we picked up close to an inch of snow in 10 minutes.

chances14 Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I pity the poor lonely soul that was out driving when that wall of snow came in In a way this hitting at night is a good thing as there's very little traffic. But this would have been cool to watch during the daytime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowMeHunter Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Lol I was just reading it. Have they even looked at the radar recently? must be a Izzy snow hater working... Detroit office is pretty dam solid outside their sometimes late to the party and conservative early forecast.. Last thing I'm meaning to do is rrip that office becasue they're as solid as an office as they come 90% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Morning commute's going to be boiling hot mess, especially if schools are open. Because of how spontaneous this was, there are probably no road crews out treating the streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, an inch on 10 minutes is totally possible right then. I probably am gonna finish with more from this snow-recho than the morning system.

Never messed with visibility here at my place. Glorified flurries at best. Very lame front for here, snow wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Based on how rutted the streets are now (they had melted some after this morning's snowfall), I'd estimate that we're approaching 3" by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 DAFF is getting destroyed. looks like the band has slowed down 1/8 SM at Windsor Airport. When/if i get called to the bar I'm setting up practice in Windsor. We're either going to enjoy in this together or I'm going to scare all the snow away. Either way, I'll get satisfaction.

Stebo Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 KDTX is like meh, big deal, around a inch or less... just terrible. No WWA and we might end up with almost 5" since 8am this morning. Honestly I am shocked, usually they are on top of the game when it comes to this but this was a complete miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
