Chicago Storm Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Yeah really. They're instibility showers, which extend all the way down into Missouri. Same thing was seen behind the front in the N. Plains/Upper Midwest yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plains/Upper Midwest yesterday. lol. LE precipitation can always be enhanced by CAA in the wake of shortwaves in the NW flow (with the main shortwave itself marked by a solid band pressing into Ohio). The radar returns in IL/MO are due entirely to the 500mb cold pool and are clearly much weaker without contribution from the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Some nice squalls today. It's funny because the sun has come out between them and any accumulation only stays in the shadow of things, like the outlines of cars and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 This morning as the snow begun over Lake Angelus (Clarkston,Waterford area) about 0.8" before noon. then the March sun took over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Detroit added 0.4" so far today, putting us at 91.1" or 2.5" from tying the all time record for snowfall. I wouldn't be shocked if we added another couple tenths before the end of the day. Every penny helps at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm8 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Been on and off with 1 - 3/4 mile vis showers. Sunny now... clouds definitely have a convective-ish look to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know here at least, the ground is whitened again after the latest squalls to go through around sunset. Not sure if it translated that well southwest of here at the airport.

Just 0.4" thru 8pm...but Im wondering what this last squall looks to do thats currently in Livingtson co. Looks the most potent of then all. I noticed that whatever patches of snow were left kept the fresh white dusting on them, but all the rest of todays dusting had melted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that band can set up over the airport for a bit it could give us a bit more accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFF Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 If that band can set up over the airport for a bit it could give us a bit more accumulation. A swing and a miss for Windsor.... Hoping to unload on a little more salt, have around 20 000lb remaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 If that band can set up over the airport for a bit it could give us a bit more accumulation. Just north of DTW right now (Westland-ish?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Down to 1SM here snowing pretty good with nice dendrites. Wish the band would stall for a bit but it does look like it is sagging south slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFF Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 How do you have so much left after THIS winter!? I used around 120ton of salt this winter... A good friend of mine used almost 700 ton !!! Another friend who plows for the city of Windsor said the city was nearing the 50 000ton mark ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Ok all you Wyandotte snow magnet people lol. It must be turned off until November, because that squall line appeared to be making a bee-line right for me and yet it suddenly sank south as it approached me. As in...like 2 miles before it would have hit me. Picked up just 0.1" from it, while it was very white at DTW with a fresh 0.6" (hell even the ASOS picked up 0.03" water with it). So total on the day is 0.5" here (93.1" season) but 1.0" at DTW (91.7" season). Roads a sheen of glass in the tire tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combined with the intense squall that came through midday, I'd say we picked up over 1" total today. I'd estimate about a little over a half inch fell with that snow squall from late this evening (separate from the DTW squall). Hard to say though with all the blowing/drifting and the dry nature of the snow. Grass is white again, but tips are still showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Roads just dusted in Wyandotte this evening...but to my west...boy oh boy...sheen of glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Here's the video from a short while ago. Unfortunately the vid cam took forever to start actually recording after I pushed the rec button, so I missed most of the thunder following the lightning flash. You can still hear a bit of it though at the very beginning of the vid. The thunder was cool, but the snowfall rates from this event were much more impressive IMO. Wow sweet video!!!
