Geos Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Straight out windy here. Winds have been gusting well into the 40mph's. I believe Waukegan Harbor and ENW hit 50 mph this morning. Sun is out now with passing fair weather cumulus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Congrats Bo...keep us updated. I imagine you'll get orographic enhancement IYBY due to the strong E winds. Only an advisory up for your county - probably need to have a warning carved out on top of your hill. had 3" of wet snow before drizzle and fog and now back to snow. point 'cast has 8-14" for tonight and tomorrow. figured I'd get a warning but the Marquette County forecast is heavily favored for Marquette the city, which will only see about 4-5".

weatherbo Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Awesome storm pics! 6" of 8:1 snow from the time I went to bed 'til this morning. power has flashed couple times already.5 additional inches forecasted for today. Trees really bending from what I can see with the flood light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 pretty insane snow falling this morning. already up to 8.4" since overnight. a foot or maybe more looks doable.... especially if this rate keeps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMB WX Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Seemed to be more real snow this winter UP in the UP compared to the usual fluff.. Congrats, Bo! Plenty more chances to come I would expect to. Looking forward to the faux spring ending and getting back to normal for a bit. Then we can start true spring over in april.

Chitown Storm Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Awesome pics everyone! The system up north has some pretty anomalous features, most notably an eastern jet stream component. You don't see that everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 11.5" of mashed 'tater snow and counting. starting to think 14 or 15" might fall. power out and a tree is down over the road.gonna be a long day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHweather Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 11.5" of mashed 'tater snow and counting. starting to think 14 or 15" might fall. power out and a tree is down over the road. gonna be a long day. This brings up a good point (that you sort of mentioned yesterday) about more flexibility for areas that winter weather products are issued for. Marquette isn't seeing enough snow to justify a warning, but you indisputably are. I wonder if we'll see polygon-based WSWs at some point in the future...or in situations like this elevation based products...IE "winter storm warning for X County above 1800 feet, winter weather advisory for X County below 1800 feet." Either way, try to enjoy the snow. Hopefully the tree damage isn't too severe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In areas that see this type of weather, for example here, it's covered in the ww product issued, and for the most part already understood by the public and especially in a fairly remote area like this. No one here is concerned that a foot of snow fell in an advisory, but I imagine it would be a real issue in a populated area. hopefully this will only weed out the weak trees. snow steady but letting up a lot.

josh_4184 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I picked up about a inch last night, finally got all the snow pack gone and now its white again, ready for spring! Power flickered a few times last night as well with the wind. You can keep all that Bo up there, where was that snow when it would of mattered that past few months.....

You can keep all that Bo up there, where was that snow when it would of mattered that past few months..... eh, I knew Winter wasn't over. so the warmth of late, I just enjoyed, knowing the snow was coming back. I never fell under 10" with the thaw anyways, so it's not like I've been out planting daisies. I'm just happy with all the added moisture heading into Spring. with the rain and snow over the past 2 days, I've recorded over 2.5" of liquid so far. And besides, there's a good chance of a warm if not hot Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one here is concerned that a foot of snow fell in an advisory, but I imagine it would be a real issue in a populated area. hopefully this will only weed out the weak trees. snow steady but letting up a lot. In this case...since the areas seeing the most snow are very sparsely populated and see a ton of snow anyways...it's not a big deal. MQT had a bullseye of over 10" in the Hurons so it's not like it was a surprise overall. The bigger issue comes in for metros like Cleveland and Buffalo that routinely see sharp snowfall gradients across densely populated areas. BUF experimented with LES warning polygons downwind of Lake Ontario this winter, so we'll see if that expands at all. CLE has recently seemingly made a general decision to leave Cuyahoga County (Cleveland's county) out of LES products even if the eastern (and fairly heavily populated) portion of the county is getting amounts that justify a product. Polygon LES products would allow them to properly warn hundreds of thousands of people while cutting down on false alarms for the other hundreds of thousands of people in the county. I do agree with you that we'll probably see winter products head that direction...the question is how long that takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hit 90. not common at all but doing research, the Summer's of 1983 and 1988, following strong 'nino's were pretty hot. Here's some totals so far... looks like through tonight another 4-6" here.
