josh_4184 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I'm in Grand Marais, MI.... absolutely pound town here. Just peeked out the window and it's a wall of white. We were supposed to come up there this weekend but had to bump it back a week, although I can't say i am to bummed about riding in below zero temps been there done that. Few years ago it was -13 when we got up to ride out of Pine Stump, none of sleds would even start I am getting thumped pretty good at my house right now with a decent NW flow which is a nice change instead of the damn NNW flow we have been seeing all week such a waste of good cold. Although is pronged to switch back to a NNW late tonight into tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 We trailered out of Newberry, the parking lot about 5 miles north of town. About to pull out of Grand marais and make a run for Houghton through the belly of the beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're getting similar snow currently - stil TBD how long it lasts. Anytime man! Yeah lake effect/enhanced up the full fetch of the lake can yield really impressive rates. I think you guys get hit pretty good with the NW wind through tonight and tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres a video as it moved through my area. Great video as always! The heaviest snow I have ever witnessed for a sustained time was 12" in 4 hours. Things much calmer looking this morning. still snowing but it's snow that may accumulate an inch in 6 hours. Going to spend the day doing some snow maintenance. piles getting too big and need to push back the banks so I can see. Haven't been out to the little cabin I have on my property here since fall. Power is shut off but still better clear some snow today! Slowing down for my area as the winds have veered more NN/W. gotta be some 12"+ spots aroud Kalkaska with that dominate band that has setup since early evening. I was watching that band for a while last night. Kalkaska area is usually the winner with a nnw connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London snowsquall Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Good morning to stay indoors. -7F currently and the snow is coming down 1-2" per hour I would estimate. Hard to tell how much fell overnight with the blowing and drifting but maybe 6-12". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would never have thought 6-12" fell but given the cold temps radar returns are not going to be telling the whole truth. What's your snowdepth like? You must be around 20".

London snowsquall Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Firehose now. Probably 3" per hr. If this was Dec. and maybe warmer outside, the flake size would be bigger and we'd be talking a bigger event. Just got in from shovelling, and there wasn't a foot - closer to 6-8" but may get there if this continues. Went for a walk with the wife and took some pictures which I'll put on in a bit. Glad you got some of this one Mike, but the better stuff waited until this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC should be notified this could end up well over 1 foot for the city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God knows how accurate I am as I don't use a board or any official equipment other than a ruler. I'm in the west end and EC measures at the extreme east end (probably 10 kms east) so we can have very different situations and totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London snowsquall Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 The big rates mentioned earlier didn't last long, but I get a picture of them. There's btwn 12-15" inches level on the deck. Flake size is really small - almost like sand so it's not accumulating for big numbers but still fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pales in comparison to what you get, but for this year it was quite unexpected. Finally got some NW winds, which are hated by most, but around here those winds + open lake = interesting times (most of the time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
