OSUmetstud Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Buffalo is a mess with all kinda of multicar accidents. People driving to fast with zr. Closing in on 1/3" it will be ending soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outflow Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 12-14 here huge drifts and roads are almost impassable and that was just in the mile I went from work to home a half hour ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Both mby & DTW finished with 3.3". A very high impact event though, with the afternoon freezing rain and blinding snow at rush hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Just measured 5" here at home with drifts up to 18". So surprisingly this is my largest storm of the year for home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Spilled hot chocolate all over my laptop. Fml. Yikes! Have done that twice, once with coffee and once with a beam and Coke. Hopefully you can dry it or just swap the keyboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Just measured 5" here at home with drifts up to 18". So surprisingly this is my largest storm of the year for home. Interesting. I had measured only ~3.2" here (not including the 0.3" of frontogenesis snows from early in the morning), and I would have only guessed another 1/2" or so with the last round of deformation snows. Thus, totals were roughly ~4" here. That's what the Roseville spotter also seemed to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Storm total precip here was 0.41", snow 3.3", so a decent glaze of ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormtrackertf Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 About 3" total IMBY, along with a moderate glaze of ice. Was drifty so there are some nice drifts. All things considered, not too bad of an event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMB WX Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 just under 5 inches here. normally when the thumb area in MI cleans up and se MI suffers we do well like the thumb.. Not the case the last two storms by any means. Silly winter, but for being one of the warmest on record it could have been worse.. There was plenty to track but the tracks didn't track too favorable most of the times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UMB WX Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 How did Buffalo do with the SE trend and Indices warning signs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 How did Buffalo do with the SE trend and Indices warning signs? Is this directed towards me? I said Detroit and Toronto would be favored and I was correct aside from it being a little bit north/northwest of Detroit for jackpot areas. Also called this a week before the storm hit when most of the favored areas on models were north of Chicago near your location. These new posters got a lot of spunk eh?

Jonger Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 NWS employee in Howell reported 6.3 Inches. I'll go with that. I'm probably close to 55-60 inches on the year now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Howell faired similarly to Toronto. Except we're at about 20" for the season now, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was curious how the storm track ended up playing out out that way in the end. I hadn't no time yesterday to track it as I was at work and was wondering for now and going forward what some of the possibilities were as to why we did better in round 2 than one.

on_wx Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Before and after. Approx 16cm/6.3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Finished with 6.5" here. Bit of a let down, just barely ends up as our largest event of the season (had a 6.0" LE event in January). Saw some reports nearing a foot from Aliston, ON so at least someone cashed in. But overall I'd say the models overdid the snow big time. System was hauling ass.

Ottawa Blizzard Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I ended up with about 6" in total, so below my 8" call. Looks like London has been getting some good snow squall activity this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Had periods of FZRA/PL/SN last night, that left a glaze of ice and a dusting. Recently there's been a nice burst of SN, and will end up with <1" accum. Finished with 1.0" of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 My mom says 8" at our place...maybe a touch high with some blowing off the rooftop. 6-7" sounds reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
