RJSnowLover Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Can't tell if it's light snow with bigger flakes or moderate snow going on here right now. Gonna say moderate snow after sticking my head outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Amazing that WAA is still overachieving despite a weaker/SE system. I won't complain, but jeez... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 prolly lowest vis here of the event...but mostly due to a much larger flake size here at the moment...borderline +SN at times over the last 10 minutes or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Latest RAP has us getting a few inches of snow later. Changeover looks like a virtual done deal and will probably get some accumulation but exact amounts are tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah usually these back-end snows don't work out...but in this case there isnt a decent surface wave...so I'm guessing models are picking up on another weak strung out vort max that helps re-invigorate the frontal scae circulation. Still low confidence but would not rule out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Says 34 at DET and DTW now, my thermometer is still at 31.6 and it must be at least close because the snow hasnt started melting off of the trees quite yet. The end is near however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one thing to smell the rain while it's snowing, but I didn't want to be smelling the snow while it's raining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing too terribly heavy...thankfully. The snow actually is holding up well. About 0.5" of snow fell since I shoveled and it's still hanging on, but barely.
