Hoosier Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I'm not sure we're going to see much more than mood flakes with the next round. Heck, I'm not sure about Indy...but looking at the way things are currently lining up, I think they'll tack on some additional. How much is the question. Short-range models shut us out while others have a little something. Not much confidence but we'll see. Just wanted to get to 70" with this storm but it will be a struggle.

We'll get there eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern_IN_Wx Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Ended up with 3" from this as expected. A nice refresher... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Called for 2-4" here and ended up with 4.3", not too bad. I see DTW hit 4.5", under 10" to go. I do think we have a greater than 50% chance of beating that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Last nights storm dropped 4.4" of powder imby with a 0.37" liquid equivalent. Average depth 16" and it did wonders to freshen up the old dirty snow. Im now at 85.8" on the season. Cant say it enough...amazing winter. DTW finished with I believe 4.6", so 83.8" on the season. Looks like original calls several days out for SE MI of 2-5" were decent (however it ended up 3.5-5"), however models obviously had tons of issues with the handling of this. QPF locally had dwindled to between 0.1-0.25" (depending on the model) in the 2 days leading up to the storm, and it ended up being 0.3-0.4" over the area. So based on latest trends and expected downgrades, Id have to call it another overachiever. First pic is view from parking garage in downtown Detroit yesterday evening, near the beginning of the storm, the rest are from this morning.

IMADreamer Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Busted hard here. About an inch and a half of sleet/snow. Some real fine powder coming down yet but nothing to get too concerned about. Nothing like missing a forecast by 8 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocks Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 The anticipation of this second wave is killing me. I'm ready for it to be here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 My call busted hard here, mainly due to the 7-10 as shown on the models. 0" on the dying first wave to our north, exactly 4.0" last night, and the third wave is going to be a 0" whiff to the south. Oh well, 4" seems like a nickle and dime snow this winter, while in most winters would be a significant snow. Einstein was right, it's all relative.

cyclone77 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Some pretty impressive temp crashes down in Texas since yesterday. Dallas was near 70 at midnight, and they're now at 23 with snow and sleet. Lubbock hit 85 yesterday, and most of today they've been stuck in the low 20s. Pretty crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter goes to Ball State and texted me the other day, "True or sh*t? 10 -12". I assured that she wouldn't see more than 8. I was right.

I think they were waiting to see how far north the last wave would go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Geez...I feel very fortunate for what I got, compared to some others in central Indiana. Just a jacked-up badly modeled storm.

Jackstraw Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 2.5 IMBY, still see grass. I guess this makes up for all of the over achievers this winter. Was watching pressures to the west and NW all day yesterday, the models seemed to be to aggressive with the canadian ridge at the onset, pressure rises were 6 to 10 hours behind guidance it seemed. When the ridge finally began to make good progress we were between waves. Seemed to me the timing was the issue with the guidance, at least for central Indiana.

Crappy luck/timing really. We got relatively lucky up here, getting in on the second wave last night/overnight. Looks like a storm total of 2.4" for IND. Still need another 3.6" to set the season snow record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 SnowFreak - I guess you'll get your Christmas decorations down by Easter maybe! Haha, nice pics! Most of the decorations were dug out during the 45F day...you think the slushyness makes it easy but it was still an icy mess lol. just couldnt get to the lights on the tree or the one deer. It has been a crazy crazy winter. The continual deepness of the snow is already in a league of its own, but those few days of going to a T depth in late December loom large now, as I have not had bare ground since Dec 8th, but the continuous streak of 1"+ had to start Dec 31st because of those few days of a T Christmas week...and now here we are 62 days later with a depth of 15" and core of about 4"! So while DTW is still 19 days away from breaking the all-time record of CONSECUTIVE 1"+ snowcover days in a winter, they are only 14 days away from breaking the record of TOTAL 1"+ snowcover days in a winter!
