hawkeye_wx Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I finished with 3.1 inches of snow from 0.23" liquid. It has already compacted to 2.3 inches. That is about what the drier models(euro) were predicting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillsdaleMIWeather Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 SPC says band will pound when it moves east Mesoscale Discussion 1877 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0542 PM CST Sun Dec 11 2016 Areas affected...Portions of northern Illinois...northern Indiana...southern Lower Michigan...and far northwest Ohio Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 112342Z - 120345Z SUMMARY...Localized snowfall rates up to one inch per hour will continue to be possible within a band of snowfall migrating eastward across the discussion area this evening. DISCUSSION...A band of moderate to locally heavy snowfall has organized from northern Illinois northeastward to Lower Michigan, with a few observations suggesting snowfall rates up to an inch per hour. Satellite imagery and model guidance indicate frontogenetic circulations (supported by modest mid-level deformation) are promoting this enhanced band of snowfall. While forecast soundings suggest a dendritic growth layer no more than 1 km deep, aggregation processes (depicted in KLOT Z/ZDR vertical profile data) should continue to favor occasional snowfall rates up to one inch per hour. Over the next several hours, this band should migrate eastward across northern Indiana, southern Lower Michigan, and far northwest Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n1vek Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Quote via DTX: The peak of the winter storm system will impact southeastern Michigan between 7 and 11 PM EST. Snow will become heavy at times during the evening with snowfall rates at approximately 1 inch per hour possible. Snow will taper off after Midnight. Additional snowfall accumulations of 3 to 6 inches are possible bringing total storm accumulations of 8 to 11 inches. Highest amounts are expected south of the I 69 corridor. I just got done snowblowing just outside of downtown Royal Oak. No official measurement was made, but we are are in line for potentially another 6", I will be very very impressed with this storm.

cyclone77 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Finished with 2.8" here. Probably had a little more than that if I had measured every 6hrs like you're supposed to, but I like to leave the snow be unless there's significant melting issues, etc. All in all a respectable little event. At times it looked like it could be another warning event, but just a little too far southwest for this one. The burst of moderate to heavy snow this afternoon made up for any shortcomings this system had for this area in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWXwx Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Of my 5.8", it is already down to 4.5" at my 7 PM measurement thanks to several hours of freezing drizzle. Hopefully will tack on another inch or two overnight. Returns back in IL look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzardof96 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 There has definitely been an erie Lehs signal going on over the YXU area. That combined with nice LL fronto has provided the impressive convergence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Hearing Perrysburg is at 5" so I may have measured too much drifting earlier. With this last hoorah we can absolutely make a run at 8" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been bad ever since the upgrade, it is always too dry with cold sector precipitation now. The models that nailed this so far have been the wetter models.

UMB WX Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Will end up with 8"+ Not bad at all. Got a piece of both rounds. Been snowing light to Mod the last 5 hrs.. I'm glad the models were dead on on tickling SE WI with round 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still snowing pretty decently with more to come.It's been having problems here for awhile. I believe in the forecasting of Hurricane Matthew it had the storm hitting around Miami and is the reason the whole coastline was terrified.Side note here but in my spotter report CLE asked me so it's just about done in your area right? I replied what are you talking about the radar returns go all the way back to Chicago still and it's a steady moderate snow right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 probably subjective based on area, but Euro total QPF and drier idea seems pretty accurate here. I'm guessing .3-.4 water will be what we get around these parts. Splitting the difference between the high qpf models and the euro was the right way to go. also: my 6.1 " call here will be spot on or just below. Good guess.
