OHweather Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 We go from pretty good LES conditions later this week into the weekend to "OMG lake effect!" next week with some clippers. It'll look like mid-winter downwind of the lakes for sure. The airmass may be cold enough at times to actually limit ratios at times and the arctic air will be dry so we may not see huge totals at once outside of any dominant single bands, but it should add up. Looks like everyone gets a shot with varying wind directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_4184 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Dont often see a wsw event, appears it will spread the "wealth" through the remainder of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Just updated. Calling for 2-3 feet weds/thurs ..WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY EVENING THROUGH LATE THURSDAY NIGHT... * WHAT...Heavy lake effect snow possible. Travel will be very difficult at times. Total snow accumulations of 12 to 24 inches are possible in the most persistent lake snows. Locally two to three feet possible for locations in the Buffalo Southtowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 There will be jackpots in the UP for 30 inches or beyond through the medium range. Perhaps 2 feet or more in northern lower. By Dec 15th we should be above normal in snowfall through most of the lake areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 15 minutes ago, (((Will))) said: Makes you wonder why they didn't just issue a blizzard warning...winds 35-40mph, and gusts over 55mph or more for over 24 hours... Or did they do away with blizzard warnings up here when they ditched the lake effect advisories, too. It does make one say hmmmm... "Sustained wind or frequent gusts greater than or equal to 35 mph will accompany falling and/or blowing snow to frequently reduce visibility to less than 1/4 mile for three or more hours."

Not sure what offices are fully adhering to this but I believe Marquette is on e that is participating along with APX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kinda thinking the opposite, I'm thinking that most areas outside the snow belts will be below normal for the next two weeks, we'll see I guess, hope I'm wrong though.

Wow, that model must have streamers running very far inland or the Clipper train is about to get rolling. Impressive snow depths all the way into the thumb.

Hoosier Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 GEM nails me with a death band Saturday night. Just a fantasy solution for now though as models have been keeping it farther east for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's still there on tomorrow's runs, you might want to plan on a 20 mile LES chase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_4184 Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 My house getting hammered pretty good right now, have about 3" otg so far, started snowing pretty good earlier this ironing. 850 winds are starting veer a little more west or even wnw which is helping.

Next weekend will probably be the better weekend for riding, since it looks to snow almost everyday through next weekend also this cold will help freeze up the trails and standing water. I will probably go out for s shake down run later this week if I have enough on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a foot is not ideal given the warm ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Hoosier heartbreaker is still alive, although the Canadian is probably more full of crap than than Porter County's snowfall prediction. The totals "inch" up with each run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I'm actually happy the lake effect is starting moreso overnight here. It gives me once last chance this evening to get the rest of the leaves up after the gales we had the past few days. Then...let it snow through April!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

josh_4184 Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Picked up about 5" so far, last few hours the bands have really broken apart as the winds continue to veer more NW. May see another few inches through out the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Started snowing lightly here around 7. It has really picked up over the last hour, and we finally have our first real accumulation of the season! Hoping to not see any grass when I awake in the morning.

josh_4184 Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Woke up with about 9-10" otg some spots higher around a foot imby ,a few more inches possible through the next day or so.Looks like jsut SW of me was the jackpot last night.

TugHillMatt Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I can now join the ranks of Will, Bo, and Josh in posting lake effect pics! Picked up about 3 inches since midnight, with some very nice snow showers continuing. If it continues all day, I could see us making it to 6 inches. Nothing extraordinary like up north...but winter is finally here! I am really looking forward to our clipper tomorrow night. It looks like the perfect setup for a Lake Michigan enhanced snowfall.

Yeah, the windstorm did a number on my holiday decorations, not to mention burying them in a drift of leafs. By coincidence I had yesterday off so was able to get things back in order just in time for "1st lighting and 1st snowfall" overnight. Perfect timing scored, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wind actually blew many of the leaves away...probably to Grand Rapids! What it didn't blow away collected in to a huge pile in front of my garage and in our drainage ditch along the road. It was fun to be cleaning up leaves while it was snowing, with the Christmas lights on! Check out the pics I just posted...guess what is under that layer of snow? (No leaves!!! :)) It sounds like you had a very productive day off. I hope you can now enjoy your decorations. I noticed that with the mild conditions we had, people really took advantage of it and have beautiful Christmas displays this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
