fluoronium Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I got roughly a third of an inch of ice with the freezing rain, but it was the backside snow that pushed many of the trees here to their breaking point. I only got ~1.5" of snow but it was super wet and stuck so well to the trees that the forest floor is nearly barren of snow. Walking outside last night during the snow sounded like a thunderstorm from all the falling trees and limbs. Raw totals from the storm aren't very impressive but this will certainly be a storm to remember. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to haslett and had 45-50dbZ overhead. It was legit snowballs falling from the sky! This was some of the most incredible snow I had ever seen, haslett got 3-4ish" in like 90 mins. It was so hard to drive in it. I was not expecting this in the least but boy did I love it. In the morning the trees were (and still are!) gorgeous! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rates were incredible and the snowflakes were huge. I96 was just a crapshoot. Completely snow covered and icy...and visibility was a few hundred feet at times in the band. Had to take video of the event because it was just too good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took this screenshot during the peak I saw the band. I took some videos too but I was in a no light area and not really worth looking at haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
