michsnowfreak Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Snowing and blowing away. Snow looks high ratio but I can tell its going to be a trip to measure. Oh well...its a probably I dont mind having. Snowing and blustering at 7 degrees...feels like a true winter storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Almost had Viagra for more than 4 hours, was getting ready to call the Dr., finally ripping pretty good. That was a close one. My fiance is out delivering Moo Juice (she drives a milk truck, that's what she calls it, twisted, I know,don't ask). Said she's down to 20 mph with 1/4 mile or less visibility coming in from MIE on 28. Winds are about 15 KTS kicking up to 25, coming more west. Nice sideways snow though.

Powerball Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Very heavy snow now. Not quite whiteout conditions though...Just a downpour of dendrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Averaged my measurement out to 2.8" as of 6:15pm. Been borderline +SN for since 5:45 or so. Some scattered ground blizzard conditions in open areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerball Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 How big are the flakes under that band? Quarter size. Back to light snow and smaller flakes now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigander Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Crazy here in GR. Wind 15- 20, gusting to 30, heavy snow. Just went for a walk and there were already some good drifts. Where is Blackrock? He is getting nailed even harder in Spring Lake. Muskegon appears to be the worst/best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Have some sizable drifts in my driveway. My recent shoulder surgery means I am firing up the snowblower. Wish me luck. Still -SN right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chitown Storm Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Finished with about 3.5" here, although almost impossible to measure due to the wind. Got to use the snowblower again, so I'm happy. Solid winter landscape out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Nothing but Viagra here Lol, if only you were serious, but clearly a typo on your part. Pretty nice storm anyways, rallied after mostly light snow and flurries prior to 4pm. Edit: nvm, I'm glad you were trolling this weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Nice snow squalls in the DVN CWA. Cyclone should get in one in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimillman Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 hair over 2" here with -SN on the north sideAll in all, over performer. We went from expecting less than a half an inch to between 1-3 inches across the CWA in 24 hours. I'm a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Around 1.5" here is my guess maybe getting close to 2". Borderline impossible to measure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 That warm layer around 700mb had to cool leading to a better DGZ because the dendrites here are a good deal larger right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Nice snow squalls in the DVN CWA. Cyclone should get in one in a bit. What's up with that streamer on an angle from NW to SE heading back NW just south of the QC? pretty nice little round of SN currently...flake size is improving...going to go find my usual quiet spots outside and do multiple measurements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 This is more intense than anything we got all of last year, including thunderstorms. Extremely impressive squall going on right now. Winds have to be pushing 50mph, and you can't see more than 50 yards in the gusts. Extremely heavy snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I am not even going to attempt to get an estimated measurment of snowfall until closer to midnight, but Id estimate we are in the 1.5 to maybe 2" range. Its accumulating quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Snowing real hard here in Westland. Looks like I'm joining the Detroit crew for this storm. This stuff is the most powdery I have ever seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFF Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Going to be interesting cleaning up this one. I'm sure the lots will be clear with lots of drifts in the lee of objects. How big the drifts are on the backside of the storm this evening?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's howling out there now, even after the squall. That was almost like a severe thunderstorm, but with snow. And no thunder lol. Coolest weather event IMBY since I can't even remember. Kind of reminded me of the Feb 2003 squall. I feel real sorry for anyone who may have been caught out on the roads in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
