Snowstorms Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Heavy snow out here in my area. Easily the best snow I've seen in years. Really nice dendrites out there. Up to 8.5-9.0cm already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I have to wonder if we could be in for a cold March. Heard rumours this might be the case. March 1960/1984 redux? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowstorms Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Just measured 14.7cm (5.78") here. Looks like another 3-6cm is possible through the next few hours as the storm continues progressing eastward. Some really big flakes out there.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Snowfall warning just issued. Little late but can't blame EC for this one. I measured just under 6" on my deck. Should end up in the 6-8" range I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Boston getting a repeat of February 2015 right now, my only complaint about this winter is the excessive cloudiness. We had just as many sunny days in the first 2 days of February as the entire month of January. Otherwise, it's nice not having to deal with frequent nuisance snowfalls and slipping / sliding down the side streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Getting 40mph gusts the last few hours. Feels a lot colder out there than the mid 40s, despite full sun. Good news it kept everyone away from the car wash. Didn't even have to wait to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 While I'd like to get a big snow this winter, I'm seriously looking forward to next weekend.

harrisale Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Picked up 5.0" once all was said and done today. Storm now becoming a monster on the east coast. Similar evolution to February 2013 stoarm but a bit more north and east with the low placement made for some lighter totals. Probably the last good event of the season and pretty much tied for snowiest day of the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only it was as good as Feb 2013... had 13" with Nemo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to bare ground here after a bit of sleet this morning that made it look vaguely like winter for a couple hours. Meanwhile I get to talk with my cousin tonight in Nova Scotia where they still get real winter. Will be interesting to see after the storm leaves on Monday, will they have 75+cms OTG?? Probably, the forecast for Sydney is 40-60cms and a blizzard and they already have a good base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambana Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 If the current forecast holds true for next weekend, I would have 4 possibly 5 readings of 60 degrees or above. Some of us could be flirting with record warm February's by the time all is said and done. Not to mention another dry week on tap too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely March '12 will most likely never be beat in any of our lifetimes. If I recall places in Michigan hit 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 In marquette. Lots of snow here. Drove through quite a bit of Lake effect. I'd say the deepest was munising. It's interesting how the depth varies up here. I'd say 20" in gaylord with gorgeous plastered scenery, down to like 6" at the bridge, probably 30-36" in munising. Marquette not sure as I've only been in the city so obviously lots of piled snow so harder to tell depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im no expert but ive been measuring snow for 22 years so im pretty good at eyeballing/guestimating depth. Downtown gaylord resembled Detroit 3 years ago this time of year, and that's when we had 20 or so on the ground. No doubt it's deeper outside the city. One thing you notice when driving up north, the snow depth noticeably varies constantly. I don't care what the winter, the gaylord region is always the deepest depth in lower MI. And why on earth would anyone want to live in a non snowbelt part of the UP? LOL that would be torture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF everything plays out right, could be some of the warmest February weather in over 15 years. I haven't looked into that warm event, looking forward to it if it includes southern Canada. I didn't get as much snow as areas east of me, about 5:00 pm it was a raging winter storm outside with large flakes and some powerful winds. Visibility wasn't as bad as other intense events but was fun to watch. All the north facing windows were soaked. Later on some of the ground winds were nasty which would cause whiteouts even in close range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
