We may manage 1” on grassy surfaces. It’ll be the first all snow event for the city of the season. Could make an argument that this still isn't an all snow system. It rained yesterday and it's associated with the same surface/upper low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Flipped to light drizzle/rain with some wet flakes under the lighter returns through most of this afternoon and evening. Total slopfest imby. We definitely lost some snowpack and added about 3/4” of moisture to the 6-7” that remain. Crazy at one point blizzard warnings were only a county or two west of us. Never had much of any wind here. Southern metro and points south did well. In fact there was nearly twice as much snowfall only 20 miles south of me. My prospective of this storm might have been completely different. Guess I’ll see tomorrow when I ski Welch Village which picked up 5” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narrow band of around 2" between Jackson and ann arbor but even that is rapidly melting. I'm at 15.0" on the season but 11.9" of that fell between November 30th and December 29th. Weren't you touting how Nina's deliver snowy Decembers? Well..there it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar returns backing in from the northeast are getting chewed up before they get here. Models show a good period of light snows moving in after midnight.

NoDoppler4TnySandz Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Pleased to report that we have a "scattering" of grapel that has spread across the grass and elevated deck. Encouraged by the energy upstream which could pivot towards the donut hole of the region and lay down a 1/2 inch later today into the evening hours!

Well..there it is. lol. yes I was. and we quickly learned this is no normal nina. its not at all behaving how I expected. I expected extreme temp swings, instead its been stagnant with barely moving temps. I did say it would be not a great snowcover year due to the swings. but I didn't think it'd be like this. Biggest surprise is i thought It would feature way above avg precip, I would have thought it was imminent. Through January it is well below avg. in fact as annoying as it has been, most of the precip we HAVE seen has been snow, very wet snow, and of course new years ice. We have actually seen very little plain rain since before Thanksgiving. I thought February was the big wildcard in a Nina but others said it was typically torch. Lucky for us, that appears to be unlikely too. really thinking February is our best month. Some of the recent cfs runs would give Feb 2015 a run for its money. of course the cfs is a joke overall but its interesting that its not defaulting to its usual warmth. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This weak system has been all over the place on models (some runs have even shown a dry wave) so I haven't really paid too much attention to it up to now.

cyclone77 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Looks like tonight's wave will be the best of the multi-day event for this area. Should get at least an inch of fresh snow after midnight, but wouldn't be surprised to see here or nearby make a run at 2" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
