Powerball Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 It's hilarious that Detroit will very likely end up with more snow than the areas that were under headlines or expecting any decent amount of snow. The HRRR is now consistently showing 2-4"/3-5" in the city. I'm sure wisconsinwx and buckeye are somewhere calling us every name but Jesus Christ.

Powerball Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Also, despite the initial temps and wet grounds, getting significant blowing AND drifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Near whiteout conditions here. Roads are starting to get absolutely trashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWMT30 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 1 inch of new snow here in Canton since the snow started at 8am!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc76 Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Rip central here. WOW. Complete white out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 DTX finally added Wayne/Macomb County to the Winter Weather Advisory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Yeah, I think 3 inches should be easy from this. It is legit ripping out there. I imagine out in the sticks it is getting extremely treacherous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I think Wayne-Macomb will end up better than Livingston. The heaviest returns are the the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppsRunner Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 About 1-1.5" here so far. Still some nice light snow. Hopefully kids traveling back to college today remembered how to drive in the snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtrackertf Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 YIP is down to a quarter mile visibility under heavy snow and blowing snow. DTW, ARB and Grosse Ille are all gusting over 35 this hour as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTW, ARB and Grosse Ille are all gusting over 35 this hour as well. Easily the heaviest snow of the season. The winds are whipping it up everywhere making for near whiteout conditions.

Weenie food :-)Definitely a very pleasant surprise this morning. I know some of the models were showing it playing out this way last night, but I couldn't have imagined the temperatures would have crashed so decidedly all at once.Hard to believe it was raining an hour and a half ago. Looks like a totally different world now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Two hours ago it was raining and in the low 40s. It is now a mini blizzard. Temps in the 20s, wind howling, snow falling, accumulating, blowing and drifting. Looks like an inch already. Not sure Id say heaviest of the season, we had like 1/8 visib for a time on Nov 21st. But definitely the first wind-whipped powder snowstorm of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 My Nov 21st storm will probably stand up as the largest of the season in SE Michigan. LOL 17.5 inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Lol yesterday on DTX facebook page someone asked if there was any chance we would go under a WWA. DTX responded with one word - no. The November snowstorm was some of the most scenic snow you will ever see, but it was a cake job with not much wind. Right now the wind is whistling as the white is swirling...winter is roaring in....finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now the wind is whistling as the white is swirling...winter is roaring in....finally. Model trends were clearly in our favor even yesterday. GFS, UKMET and GGEM picked up on this evolution Friday evening. But of course since the darling ECMWF failed to do so, they just chose to ignore the overall growing consensus.

michsnowfreak Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Even though total snowfall will be nothing special, for those who love active weather this is right up their alley. The change over the last 3 hours is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The change over the last 3 hours is insane. And it's going to be an overachiever as well. Most areas will end up with 2-4" easily, with probably some 5" lollipops on the east side.
