Powerball Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I'm curious to know michsnowfreak, between New Years 2008 and today's storm, which one pisses you off more? For me, at last with New Years 2008, I saw some of the heaviest snow I had ever seen for a good hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Years 2008 is worse, that was modeled right up until the day of to crush the metro area only to do a two step in the 23rd hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I was living in Novi for NYE 08'. Was a real nice hit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Be prepared to be pissed. Awful simulated reflectivity on the RAP and HRRR. This storm is done for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 NYE 2008 sucked worse than this because it was a consensus hit up until the last minute. However, it happened in a much much MUCH better winter so it was easier to forget. Honestly, if people don't bring it up I never recollect about it.

Powerball Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 New Years 2008 is worse, that was modeled right up until the day of to crush the metro area only to do a two step in the 23rd hour. Now that I think about it some more, the choice is pretty hard for me. New Years 2008 did have a ton of thundersnow (this system did not locally) and most of the 12-16"+ of snow fell in only a few hours. On the other hand, today's system had blizzard conditions in the areas hit with the best snows and we got screwed yet again with another 1.50"+ QPF storm simply because temps were too warm by a degree or two.

For me, at last with New Years 2008, I saw some of the heaviest snow I had ever seen for a good hour. 2008 by a MILE. Today was expected, 2008 was not. 2008 had more extreme snows NW of me than today. Also deform is likely to occur tonight, another thing unlike 2008. BTW we picked up a fresh 0.8" in an hour with those monster flakes last hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, if people don't bring it up I never recollect about it.To this day, nye 2008 is the biggest screw job I have ever seen. Yet I got 78.2" of snow that winter. I probably would forget it too but my fellow SE MI crew don't let me Forget it because it was a favorite storm for so many.Obviously that was an awesome winter, was referring to the storm only.

btcs31 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Still sitting under a tiny band of (lake effect?) snow. It's been snowing here nonstop since about 8am this morning. An impressive day for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogieman Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 It's still snowing here... I got a solid 10" where I stick the yardstick in the middle of the yard.There's finally a dryslot looming, but all that snow to the west would have to come through here at some point.

Geos Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 It's been 32 all day. The power of evaporative cooling. Only flirted with 32° here a couple times today. Never seen it snow that long and not accumulate to speak of before. O well, places to the east and south were in a snow drought more than back up this way.

stormtrackertf Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Gorgeous night up here in Lake Orion. One of the best plasterings I've ever seen. Between 8" - 10" across the northern half of Oakland county.It's crazy though, the minute you hit 16 Mile Rd, it drops off to maybe half that. On the other side of 8 Mile, maybe a quarter of that. One of the more extreme examples of the tight snowfall gradients we see around this area.Not too terrible back in my neighborhood, around 3 to 3.5" depending on where you measure. It's kind of difficult thanks to the wet nature of the snow and compaction, under the trees there is significantly less or even no snow in some spots.

michsnowfreak Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Finished the day with 1.5" total snow/sleet and a ton of rain (haven't measured) imby. DTW finished with 0.92" precip and 2.4" snow/sleet. Radar appears to be trying to fill in. Fingers crossed for deformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I called in 1" of sleet and snow this afternoon before work and that's what I arrived home to. The same amount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 tempnwinamounts.png Looks like you were on the northwestern edge of the jackpot band. Not the heaviest where you are, but you were in the mix of some of the better amounts at that latitude. EDIT: Kind of reminds me of the 12/1/06 storm here. We had about 10", with some of the heavier amounts of up to 16" just southeast. However, just northwest of here amounts plummeted down to trace amounts after 40-50 miles.

michsnowfreak Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Picked up around 2" overnight so a little over 3" on the ground and many hours of snow left. Very pretty outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Finally got smart! Should always send reporters to the the far western northern suburbs.No they should always send reporters where the most snow is. It's a simple concept but they just can't grasp it. Almost every time there's a storm that hits us harder down here, there's a reporter standing in Southfield or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowcaine Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Picked up a thin dusting early this morning with the chance for some more snow showers. Toronto's current snow total from the event: 1.0" (but only a dusting on the ground right now since it rained for 16 hours straight). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
