michsnowfreak Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 9.0" with wave 2 after 2.0" with wave 1. lots of drifts. Seems dtx is considering them 2 events. DTW had 1.8" wave 1 and 8.6" wave 2. As expected east side hardest hit. Due to the drifting snow depth is extremely variable however an average of 14-15". 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been fun watching that SUV slowly turn into a "snowmobile" over the last couple of weeks. I don't think there's a word in the English language to describe what I feel looking at this..."jealous" would be the closest approximation. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimillman Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 From the wife. Lakeshore East. Edit: From the ground to the branches on those trees is about 3 feet. I'd estimate well over 20" on the ground based on this picture. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Crazy depths around Chicago. Depths gotten quite nice here in Southeast Michigan as well. East Side has the deepest snow right now. Snow depth in SE MI vary anywhere from 11 to 18". We had 15" here this morning, 14" at Detroit, 15" White Lake, 13" ann arbor, 16" bad axe, 17" Richmond. As mentioned above the 17" snow depth in Toledo is their deepest since 1978. We however had deeper snow in 2014 & 2015. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Snow came down harder than I expected last night. Difficult to measure though as the wind whipped not only the new snow but older layers as well. Only measured about 5" new on average, but it's probably like 12:1 ratio since the wind did such a number on it. That's on top of the 2" from the night before, so at least 7" total. Definitely not fluff anymore though. Drifts were hard to shovel. Total depth on the ground is now around 17" IMBY, including the hard packed stuff at the bottom. It's over 20" in some places though, both due drifting and old crust from January that didn't melt completely everywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radtechwxman Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Got 1-2in sun night into mon morning then picked up another 4-5in with the deformation band. So storm total in the 5-7in range. Hard to measure because of drifting. Biggest snow of the season. Finally met high end advisory to low end warning level snow! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UMB WX Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Pretty epic reading catching up on the last 18hrs of this thread. West side of the lake from mke south with 10-20" The main system snow outside of that epic area also delivered 10+ right up through Detroit Duster town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toledo only peaked at 13" in Jan and 12" in Feb. The only thing I can think of is with the insane constant drifting of snow, open areas (ie nw ohio) may have had lower level depths with higher drifts? Toledo peaked at 15" in Feb 2015.

Luftfeuchtigkeit Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Ended up with a dusting in Madison, but there's still deep snow here from earlier storms. Glad to hear about everyone that got a big storm! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purduewx80 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Epic snow depth here now, which I haven’t experienced since living in Madison in ‘07-‘08. No way of knowing exactly how much we got, but there are drifts of 3-4’ in the backyard and piles 5-6’ high along the street. Roads are still pretty meh in the city, 290 was even still partially snow-covered on the drive home this afternoon. Safe to say the perennials are well-protected this year. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
