cyclone77 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Rain gauge showing 0.38" for the event, but figuring in the sleet that bounced out, and whatever moisture was in the snow probably had us closer to 3/4" of total precip in my estimation. Picked up 0.2" of snow accumulation. Thunder eluded us yet again. Very fun little system though as it turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftfeuchtigkeit Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 2.3" at my house in Madison since snow began 2 hours ago. No additional thunder since the initial clap but the snow sure has been heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherdavewi Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Measured 7.2" here just east of La Crosse on the ridge tops as of 10 p.m., and it is still snowing lightly. Color me impressed by this one with convective rates of 1-2" per hour while winds gusted to 45 mph earlier this afternoon. Biggest storm of the season for us. Might have to "un-cancel" winter, though not by much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillsdaleMIWeather Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Tonight is really sneaking up on us, 2-4 with local 5 might be possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenBo Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 6z NAM brings in some very heavy snow tonight for the southern half of SeMi. This would include the Detroit metro area. Several inches look possible. Awaiting the prime HRRR period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of that will fall this evening with the sleet/snow combo, though might add a bit tomorrow with snow squalls...Rain mixed in, temps and time of day might limit that though. Spot on.

TugHillMatt Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 lol...this is classic...if the lake machine is turned off, the West-central Michigan snow screw hole comes on in full force. Of course band of snow moves north and then we get stuck in the dry air screw zone, while....SE Michigan gets MORE snow again. lol...with a touch of insanity....Whew, this making me salty.

How the northern stream interacts with the southern stream as they both rotate around (due to the strong block) will depend on if we can have a sustained snow band for a few hours. Let's see what today's models show. Edit: Spoke too soon, 12z back to SEMI special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Very wet snow yesterday and very fluffy snow overnight has totaled 1.5" in my yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I'm dying from laughter right now at the responses. Even with the worst-looking systems and setups, Detroit seems to somehow reel in a modest hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoboy645 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Got about 2-3 inches on the ground. I probably got more snow but some of it has already started to melt with air temps around 35-40 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Some of the 12Z runs seem to be showing the Low pressure retrograding its way through Michigan on Thursday and strengthening a bit. Could end up being a surprise for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenBo Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 DTX on board for several rounds of accumulating snowfall starting later this evening and through the day tomorrow. I wouldn’t be shocked to see a locale around here receive close to 7-9”. The magnet is real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 This morning 0.3" of snow fell which then melted as temperatures actually rose into the 40s. Still some patches of old snow left in shaded areas though, as well as piles. That brought me to 60.0" on the season, and Detroit officially is now at 58.0". I can confirm that parachutes were falling tonight however only a very light additional slush accumulation is seen. This event screamed model difficulty from the start, amd i had/have low expectations for this one despite how well we have done all Winter. I am more intrested in Thursday, we will see how that goes.
