Nice, I picked up about 14" so far since yesterday well, combined with the snow from early in the week close to 2' has fallen. Definitely my deepest snow pack of the year for NWL. Might even fire up the sled for the first time/ After I take about 2 hours to clean up the snow lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Picked up 15.2" yesterday. 18.2" at official reporting station at Buffalo airport. A broad brush event over all of Buffalo with 1-2" for everyone. Still snowing here and looks to be another event tonight into tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats, looks like a decent LES event for our areas to the west, biggest issue we are having is the extreme cold is killing the DGZ flake size. 6-12" for areas maybe more in local sports, APX is optimistic about a couple dominant bands setting up which can up the totals for certain locals. Man do I wish Lake Michigan was about 100 miles wider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt off the tug has 4-5' potential. Another poster chased this to Watertown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, we picked up about 5-8 form the clipper little lower than I was expecting, LES should give up about anther 12" through Friday, might be pushing 30" otg by then for my area. lake Mich wont be freeze all the way but the ice is adding up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh_4184 Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 Only got a couple inches since yesterday as the winds have been out of the SW then W, now have switched to a WNW and are getting hammered pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 The winds have been very favorable for my area. Closing in on a foot of LES in addition to the system snow on Monday if I had to guess/ No real way to tell though with all the drifting. Nice to see most of the western part of lower Michigan getting in on the action this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishforsnow Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Been getting 2-3 inches per day. The flakes are real small but the snow is heavy when the snow scoop gets full of it. It is like scooping corn starch. The main highway is like a Hockey rink. Probably could skate on it. One false move driving you are in Dire Straits. Luckily, not very many people driving around you have to watch out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, the snow is like concrete once it piles up, picked another 5 or 6" since this morning. Whiteouts everywhere, closed my office at 1:00 today due to conditions, should start winding down tonight . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_4184 Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Pretty strong band setup last night for a couple hours just north of my location, 2-4" per hour rates per APX, doesn't happen very often in our LES Belts to see that intensity. Quote US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan 1 hr · Dominant band of lake effect snow dumped heavy snow along the M-32 corridor across the Gaylord area last night, roughly between 3 am and 5 am. This band produced between 4 and 8 inches of snow through that corridor, with substantially less snow on either side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishforsnow Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Marquette NWS reported up to 36 inches of snow from the Porkies to Twin Lakes. My parent's live out in Twin Lakes and can confirm this. Healthy convergance off of the increasing shirking open water on the big lake. Only about 5 inches here in Hancock. The convergence spread over to Baraga/L'anse where they reported a foot and they are right on the lake shore. I was wondering why they closed school there when there wasn't even any advisory out at the time of the cancellation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm betting this wind has opened up a lot of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
