Roger Smith Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Detroit-Windsor could pick up additional snow from rarely seen Lake St Clair enhancement if winds turn northeast which I think they may do. Anyone in the subforum in London ON and observing (even casually), our contest has a problem with YXU not measuring snow this winter (something I only heard about after closing the contest), we need some observations. A private message or post in the contest thread would be better than in this thread but I thought maybe such a person might be reading this thread. Thanks in advance.

nwohweather Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 How are conditions in lower MI currently? Still no snow here in Perrysburg, OH at the moment but the dry slot seems to be filling in nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still no snow here in Perrysburg, OH at the moment but the dry slot seems to be filling in nicely In my area, about 25 miles west of Port Huron, we have had 2 or 3 inches so far and it's snowing as hard now as it has all day. I just plowed the driveway for the first time this season. Looking like 5-7 inches when all said and done, maybe a bit more after looking at the radar. This little clipper really packed a punch for most of MI today, even in northern lower it over achieved in spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a lot of debate both locally and at IWX as if to whether or not that would happen, and to what extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Pretty decent contrast in temps from the tropics of St. Louis to Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky333 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 In extreme NW Ohio it has been snowing for about 15 mins and the streets here are beginning to turn white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are you doing down there? I'm up to over a half an inch and from the looks of radar, I might be able to squeeze an inch out of it. Temps are marginal enough and with sunset, I don't think they will be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Easily the heaviest snow of the event right now, pushing an inch an hour rates here, maybe a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripped for 15-20 minutes around 4-4:30 then stopped. Pingers and drizzle about a half hour later for a few then just ripped again about the last 20 min. Waning now. Maybe a half inch of snow, maybe. Temp rose to only 34 now dropping again. Still more than forecast so over performer? lol. Wish this second band wasn't trucking so fast, might of beat the inch from the first clipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a slushy mess out there now. I only got 0.7" from the first clipper, but then got an inch from LES . whoppee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geddyweather Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Overachiever here so far here in Columbus Grove. Sitting at 1.5" plus a thin layer of sleet after most places cranked totals down to <1" this morning. Looks like a little more be on the way too. Taking what I can since it'll be 40+ on Sunday lol.

cyclone77 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Quite surprised at the lack of activity in this thread tonight with all the widespread snows in MI/northern OH. Congrats to those who cashed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Snow reports since 12 AM December 13th, up to the moment. I have limited this to DTX and CLE regions only. Some impressive 8" amounts in and near Oakland County, and also some 7"-8" amounts going northwest to Mt. Pleasant MI. Northeast Indiana has gotten 1"-4".

OHweather Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Had a nice initial burst on the frontogen snows early to mid afternoon...then after the dry slot a good hour to hour and a half of inch per hour rates from 6:30-8ish...it's been a slow burn since. 4.7" so far. The clipper snow is winding down soon but there may be a bit of LES through morning. I'm sure I'll clear 5", 6 may be a bit tougher. Not bad for a clipper.

nwohweather Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 4” in Perrysburg. Heck of a clipper for the Detroit area, rare to see that kind of forcing aloft be so widespread. Good example is the April snowstorm from a few years ago, dropped 6-10” across a very very small area. So to see a pretty big swath of 4-8” is impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats to those who cashed in. I was so busy. Didnt have time for the actual thread lol. It was a great clipper...pure powder. It grinded some more snow overnight, so storm total here was 6.7" with a liquid equivalent of 0.50". The storm 2 days earlier dropped 4.0" with 0.28" liquid. Naturally the snow is settling, but it has quickly transformed into a winter wonderland here. Today was a cobalt blue sky with frigid mid-winterlike air. Definitely no complaints on the start we have had to winter, and I hope all can cash in (being an active Nina, they probably will). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Nice pics of the snow! There is that crystal blue sky again with no clouds. It makes me realize just how cloudy it is here in the cold seasons. The (usually) common snowfalls keep it nice and bright though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Congrats to all of those who got lots of snow from the clippers. My worst fears going into last week were realized.

Perfect example was yesterday...Looking at radar, you will see scattered precip. over Western Michigan all of a sudden intensify into solid bands once it gets past Lansing. This has been going on for years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
