josh_4184 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Around 10-12" so far, another 3-4" tonight and some LES tomorrow not a bad synoptic system for my area. Snow depth around 28-30" right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just some trolling cyclone on his low calls luck. And actually yes, forecasts evolve. It's called observational forecasting. Kind of like what others (NWS offices) did as well, just a day late and a dollar short for some of them. Maybe you'll learn that one day, and in turn, can come up with better responses.

Bitter apple It's how they handled the headlines, and handled things as the event unfolded. Outside of that, they were on point leading up to the event. I'm not the only one that felt that way, even internally. I just obviously freely voice my opinion more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 YYZ snow total was 2.9". So, yeah, rather big bust here compared to the forecast of 6-10". Nothing EC could do. Short-term, hi-res models ruled the day, but by that time it was too late to do a complete 180 on amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 6 hours ago, wegoweather said: Looks pretty good. Also note Storm recognized by 6 pm it was going to be major icing event. Every model underperformed on the warm air. As RC said it's probably best to side on the error of more warm air. But by 6pm when the event began as sleet IMBY which is central to the metro you knew any warming would lead to freezing rain which is what occurred. Therefore, it was clear greater than .25 " of ice was pretty much a lock and the forecast had to adapt. Vey difficult call. Fun and rare storm for these parts. Post debate is good,educational, and entertaining minus the smart azz comments from one guy which are unnecessary and detract from the overall discussion.

QPF was over-modeled. EURO, NAM, GEM were in the 1.00-1.25" range. We ended up with about 0.75". And the transition to sleet happened much sooner than anticipated, so we wasted a lot of that reduced available precip on pellets. It happens. On to the next one.

Even with a Jeep, or an F450, you're stuck right now, assuming the plows will take a bit of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def snowed in and probably won't see a plow up this way today (most likely after mid-day tomorrow). Most all the hi-res models were pointing to a 2' storm right through here so I was prepared, even tho the forecast wasn't calling for 2'+. This is the deepest snow I've ever had... If I have an emergency, they're gonna have to airlift me MQT 24.2" in 22 hours 1.54" liquid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the Overlook Hotel Congrats Bo!! Incredible stuff. You should become a COOP observer for the NWS. You may set all kinds of snow records for MI. I think MQT's record depth is 63" in March 1990; not sure about the MI state record. Ok, back to my self-imposed exile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was maybe 2" snow with the storm but id say a good 4" maybe 5" les. But like i said they never have snow this deep in newberry. Some good snow squalls at home it looks like. My driveway will prob be an ice crust with some wind whipped powder on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're who gave me my snow sticks, rain gauge, etc.... The offered to make me a co-op about 6 months in, but at the time I wasn't sure how long I'd be here and I didn't want them investing time and money, just for me to move away, so I declined. I still report for them once and a while and I'm buds with the met-tech that came and took measurements and set everything up for me and sometimes MQT will call me to get a now-time report to see what it's doing up here.. TBH, I didn't like reporting daily... took the fun away. I know for a fact tho, there's a shit ton of unreported snow and snow depths deep in the Huron's.... Lot's of little micro-climates like mine that over achieve. BTW... picked up an additional 2" since 7 this morning. ahhhh.... come back, Beav!
