Chicago Storm Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Very nice... Will likely end up with 6"+, so more than I expected. Nice area of SN/+SN in the IWX/Harry area pushing up towards you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Will likely end up with 6"+, so more than I expected. Nice area of SN/+SN in the IWX/Harry area pushing up towards you. Nice total.. Snowing at a decent clip here. This should put me over the 80" mark and move this season up to the 8th spot for snowiest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Looking good out there. I'm guessing 4 inches or so. Grill top was clean before snow began Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-L-E-K Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Cool. Bust high x 3 and change from what I recall. yep ULL track was ideal and made up for all the dry air (probably could have been a 10+ hit otherwise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 FWIW mesoanlysis page has a 1006 surface low passing just north of the OH/WV border with a 1010 coastal transfer west of DC. 850 low passing over far NW OH. 700 over far SW MI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Killer walk with the dog this morning. Wind is really whipping the snow around. Some nice 2' drifts in spots. I'd guess about 6" here. A nice over performer in a winter that keeps on giving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelakeroy Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 I was surprised during my drive into work this morning at 5:30AM. MBY in Fenton has more snow than Farmington Hills from this storm. I have over 2" while there is a little over 1" here at work. It has to be elevation related as MBY is ~1000' Hopefully this these snow bands today will do well here today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 You guys elevation has nothing to do with it i dont think. A heavier band set up for a time up there. Its absolutely pouring snow here right now so expecting a nice storm. Should be inch plus per hour rates for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make sense as ratios have been crap at times and hire elevations would help a lot with the dry air and lack of dendric growth. About 2.5" here in spite of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might end up with 6" I originally had '2.5' in my post but once I got to work I thought maybe I was just seeing things I was very surprised ... I went to bed expecting to wake to an 1" or so. I think 6" maybe just in reach for us if this ULL snow moves through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Was getting heavy dusty/fog but flakes are fattening up nicely Apparently some brief freezing rain reports in Lenawee county? According to WDIV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its absolutely pouring snow here right now so expecting a nice storm. Should be inch plus per hour rates for a while I wonder if that band is elevation related. Flint while north of me is about 300' lower and averages a good 10" or so less snow per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a nice band set up shop for about an hour that dropped a quick inch around Midnight and the radar looked like absolute crap went to bed.

According to WDIV When I was driving in to work at 5:30 AM the snow mixing with gruapel as I got to around Brighton. You could here it hitting the windshield. The snow was pure powered in Fenton. It should not be doing it now that the rates have increased significantly. Rates were average when I was driving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
