Thunder Road Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 HRRR simulated reflectivity has the band entirely offshore by 8z. That would be a turn of events. Edit: composite reflectivity doesn't, though 1ref_t7sfc_f14.png I've noticed that pretty frequently with the HRRR's 1 km reflectivity. Not sure why it does that but it never verifies like that.

Hoosier Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I've noticed that pretty frequently with the HRRR's 1 km reflectivity. Not sure why it does that but it never verifies like that. Yeah, seems odd. Airmass will be drying out overall and inland extent should diminish considerably, but low level flow still decently strong overnight so it doesn't really make sense for the band to shift offshore.

TugHillMatt Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 8 to 10 new inches of snow around here since last night. Been snowing heavily all day. GRR NWS is calling for 5 to 10 inches more just on Monday. They are talking about a meso-low likely forming and hitting the area. If that happens, we will have between 2 and 3 feet on the ground.

TugHillMatt Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 snow settles. snow upon snow upon snow compacts. 3' is actually pretty hard to come by. My area had a 1 foot glacier on the ground already. 8 to 10 inches yesterday into today, and then another 5 to 10 inches on Monday. Easily attainable to reach 2 feet or more on the ground. I have recorded between 2 and 3 feet on the ground every winter here for the time that I've lived here, except for the mild winter of 11-12.

TugHillMatt Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 wow that's awesome. I didn't think it got 3' routinely south of Grayling. Oh yeah. The area from Allegan to Holland to Muskegon usually has a several week period each winter where the snow pack builds up pretty high. It all averages out because that same period the next winter could have much less. It comes at different times of the winter. We get to over 2 feet...it's just less consistent than up in the Gaylord area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 A measly 1.2" on the day as of midnight, though that's the first measurement/board clear today so take it with a grain of salt. Best snow is still to come, but best is a relative term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofcourse many of those areas from Bloomingdale up towards you average 95-105" or so.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btcs31 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 We've had SN here in the West Loop for a solid 45min. I'd say we've picked up a good inch. Flake size was pretty good for a while.
