OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 4.9” officially at MSP. Well short of the 8-12” forecasted by NWS yesterday and yet more then doubles our largest snow of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drove from BC to Three Rivers then to Jenison (just outside of Grand Rapids). Roads were terrible in BC. Subsided as I entered St. Joseph county.. got to Three Rivers and WAA took hold. Temps rose from 18° to 35° within 30 minutes. Got onto 131NB and watched the temps fall with freezing rain turning to drizzle and sleet as I approached Grand Rapids. Temperature is now 17° with a nice gusty east wind north of the low pressure center that’s headed your way. What a system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we could make a run for 9" It's incredible out there. YYZ back down to 3/4 SM visibility in SN. Well, the LES certainly over-performed on this. We should easily coast into the 7-10" range when all is said and done. Probably the best storm since 2013-14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 YYZ reporting 5.1" since noon. So we've been averaging 1"/hr rates but at its fiercest it was coming down over 2 per hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Snow's about done here. I've got probably 9-10" if not more from this storm. I never got the dry slot that Madison did,although I did get that like 20 minutes of freezing rain in the morning. Temps are down to 9 with a chill of -1. Sun's starting to set and honestly it looks downright arctic outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shoved another 1.5 inches or so and some nice flakes out there now... Had to get the end of the driveway shoveled for the 3rd time.

Stebo Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I am a bit surprised at the 3,9" here at DTW though we did nose up above freezing so the snow may have compacted some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueWaves Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 5.5" of "igloo cement" from round 1 here in Marshall. Rebuilding a nice snow pack after nearly completely getting wiped out just last Wed. Total for month of Jan now knocking on 20" despite the wasted rainer event. We'll see if the PV visiting Lake Michigan's warmer than normal January waters can be a booster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Doctor Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 -SN picked up again in LAF. All the melted water froze into a thin sheet of ice quickly after the frontal passage, roads are pretty bad and I almost slipped several times on the sidewalks. With the careening temperatures and the howling winds outside, it really feels like how I'd imagine the Arctic. Very harsh weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
