Snow is beginning to stick to paved areas here as well, as we've dropped to 30. Closing in on an inch on non-paved areas. Flakes are larger now. The first 4hrs had very fine flakes. This happened with at least two of southern WI's would-be big dogs last winter, leading to lower than expected totals. Ironically for us we saw big fluffly flakes right at the start of this event, but they were melting on contact with the pavement at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 will certainly need to see an increase in rates if were to achieve some of the forecast totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Last hour I had 4-4.5" on the car, but only 3.5" on the snowboard and grass. The final band of decent snow is about to move off to our east, so we are near the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luftfeuchtigkeit Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 It's really coming down here - looks like December or January. Some of the major roads even are snowpacked. An hour ago I measured 3.2" on an elevated surface and 2" on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Has been snowing pretty good here all night. I easily have 3" or so in the ground with another couple hours yet of snow. Theres actually snow packed on some of the roads. It really feels more like Christmas than Halloween. I'm going to be so ticked if we have this on Halloween but Christmas is green.

hawkeye_wx Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I'm going with 3.9" total. The snowboard, out in the yard, has 3.7" while the deck and car, close to the house, have 4.5". My total for the week will be lower than many other spotters in the CR area, but we ended up doing as well as we could have. The two systems dropped their best snow right through this area. Farther north and west in Iowa, very little snow fell this week. I'm sure those areas will surge past us once winter arrives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 This last band just to my west will likely sit on top of us for awhile, as it pivots over the top. Roads are a nightmare over here, with several inches down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueWaves Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Upgraded to WWA here. Lake band gonna rock later on this side of the big lake too .UPDATE... Issued at 951 AM EDT Thu Oct 31 2019 Observations as of 9:50 AM indicate our current rain/snow line lies along a line from Muskegon to Big Rapids with snow falling north of that line and rain/drizzle falling south. As this area of mid- level f-gen forcing shifts east, all precipitation across lower MI is expected to transition over to snow through the afternoon and evening. Pockets of particularly heavy snow with low visibility and hazardous travel will be conceivable along the lake-shore thanks to a possible lake convergence band. Slightly higher snowfall amounts than previously forecast will be feasible, with up to around 2 inches possible for most areas south of I-96, and higher amounts up to 3-5 inches possible to the north, especially in higher elevations. Despite warm ground temperatures, if snow rates are high enough, heavy, wet snow accumulation will be possible on roads and lead to hazardous travel particularly on bridges and overpasses as gusty winds lead to efficient cooling. In addition, scattered power outages will be probable as heavy, wet snow accumulates on trees, some still carrying leaves, alongside gusty winds to 35-45 mph this evening.

fluoronium Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Widely varying accumulations here, with a light coating on the pavement and places of 3" in the grass. First time I've seen an accumulating snow when the trees are mostly covered with leaves. Crazy to get an event like this after the April 15 storm earlier this year!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last couple storms have had more W or WSW vectors really hammering Holland and north. This will be more traditional N or NW so the misery will be shared further south with this event.
