Stebo Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Just now, Hoosier said: That would really be something. This winter for me has been an ultimate reminder of how horrible grass can look at this time of year. Yeah, what was weird about when we warmed up around Christmas, was how green the grass was under the snow. Now though it is dormant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 We actually eked out 0.1 of snow this morning in about a 20 minute burst from the system well to our North. Just gray milky skies this morning though. Ground level view shot of my yard from the basement window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only two days in that 50 day stretch with measurable snow. 0.3" on Jan 25th, and 0.1" on Jan 26th. We've gotten to the point to where the futility has become very impressive, so it's going to be interesting to see how futile it continues to be going forward. Really don't see any ops for anything more than a DAB through at least the Feb 15-20 period. Thanks cyclone! February sun doing work, already up to 41 degrees, feels awesome outside. At this point let's turn the page, and forget this winter existed, I'm ready to hear birds chirping, and thunderstorms. Its always fun watching what the sun does to people's moods, i just have a feeling spring is breaking early this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice well over 100" here to date, and the Keweenaw, thanks to a persistent west flow this year is over 200" in a few spots in Houghton County(John Dee 187"). But not a single real system snow to speak of. 6 minutes ago, Chambana said: Thanks cyclone! February sun doing work, already up to 41 degrees, feels awesome outside.

MQT is well se of me and almost 200' lower in elevation. I've been able to cash in on some Keweenaw scraps while they haven't. Negaunee is really on the southern fringe of the Huron mtns snow belt, but still average 203" a season. Their peak depth has been 18" while I briefly hit 30" before the 11 day thaw last month. 23" currently otg here while MQT is only 15". What's been missing here all Winter and much of last winter is the N and NE lake enhanced snow which is our bread and butter. Anyway.... hope you stick around!

cyclone77 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Nice to see the sun again today. Temps are responding, and are heading for the 40 degree mark. Hoping for a clap of thunder tomorrow night before the showers exit stage right. The system really never gets going until it's east of here though, so I'm not liking our chances. Expecting <0.25" of rain. Hoping for a few flurries Tuesday night in the midst of the strong CAA. Most look to stay north though. The following clipper looks to miss well south. Next appreciable weather event arrives sometime after Feb 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Brief heavy snow today. Rode my sled down to the Dead River Basin a few miles south of here a bit ago.

You just happen to get it MUCH more than the rest of us. Love your pictures. Not even 30 and you already have a beautiful house and chunk of property in the UP?!?! You must have an excellent-paying job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Nice sunrise^ Impressive moisture advection this morning. Dews were at 20 just after midnight, but have shot up to 35 already. Dense low-level cloud deck quickly advancing northward through IL and IN on the nose of deeper moisture. HRRR shows a few nice elevated cells firing nearby late this evening.

It was extremely bright and it kind of spooked me because I had no idea what it was. When I looked around and couldn't see anything I kind of concluded it had to be a meteor and I was glad when I saw reports about it this morning.
