Looks like we got around 2” eyeballing Storm total of 2.1” at the airport. Looks like my eyes are good. Over 40” on the season now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillsdaleMIWeather Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Snowfall rate went from zero to 100 in like 10 minutes here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Perry Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Well that escalated quickly. Heaviest I’ve seen in a couple years. Dropped a quick half of an inch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 After the heavy snow tapered off, I noticed some melting on parts of the pavement. I think with getting later in the day and heading toward sunset, it will stick better on the pavement again even if it hangs a hair above freezing and rates aren't quite as heavy as early on.

We'll get our best accumulations separate from the best rates. The showery/convective depiction on radar, melting during lulls, dripping from trees reminds me of a spring system. Sure won't feel like spring in a couple hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillsdaleMIWeather Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 That 30 mins was probably the heaviest rates I've seen in person in a couple years, put down a quick 0.75 here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, slushy first pass by the plow leaving a bunch behind. Hopefully they get back to clear it before the flash freeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 There are a whole lot of times it'd be raining almost everywhere in the sub with a surface map like this. In fact I had been checking CIPS in recent days and very few had accumulating snow as far south as this. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Wow it is just cranking snow outside. Between 2 and now we have probably got at least 2" if not more. And it just keeps coming down. This is honestly some of the heaviest snowfall rates I ahve seen in daylight in quite a while. Too bad this is a shorter snow cause we could get some serious accumulations if this lasted for about 8 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwx Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 winds were calm the past hour but pressure has started rising at the airport. Frontal band of snow with gusty winds is on our doorstep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Very picturesque snowglobe event at the DVN office right now! Look at those huge half dollar sized flakes gently falling with no wind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuanis Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Was using my iPhone to record one of the heavier bands about 30 mins ago and think I may have captured the only flash of lightning I've seen today. I noticed it with my eyes first and the video backed my brain up. It's subtle and nothing showed up on radar, but but take a look. About 33 seconds in after the video flips to slo-mo and pans up to the sky. Apologize for the portrait video, total rookie move. The lamp reflection is pretty tacky too. YouTube is supposedly still processing the HD version (not that it will make much of a difference). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 A couple of the reporting sites around here have dipped to 32. And just using the eye test looking outside, it is sticking on the paved surfaces that had begun to melt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Very heavy wet snow coming through with this first band. Seems convective... like mountain snow you get out west. Pellets mixed in with the flakes at times. You can hear it making a "shhhhhh" sound against the windshield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimillman Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 All in all not much accumulated here, but was a fun event and certainly a far cry from the snowpack destroyer modeled a week ago. Take it as a huge win with this SLP track and look forward to the next threat straight out of the arctic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 This band coming through right now looks pretty legit. Pretty low vis with lots of blowing snow and heavy snow falling as well. Picked up 0.31" rain this morning, and 2.8" of snow so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently around 1.4" or so. Though no doubt at least 2" of snow fell, but it's been melting and compacting as fast as it's been falling. Still above freezing here as well.
