So in addition to part one’s 2.2”, up to 5.4” storm total. Will measure again at midnight. Going to be a long night. Back edge of the better snow still isn't through St. Louis, so not looking like there will be an early shutoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still very powdery and small flake size in Toledo. Perhaps better moister will do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeenerWx Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Can confirm the drifting is getting a bit extreme in my little corner of rural NW Indiana. Roads are indistinguishable from the surrounding farmland. Sounds like it's raining outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamarsden8 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Dry slot seems to be filling repeatedly in Fairfield with light snow. No clue what to think of any of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slow poke Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Picked up 2”+ in the past 90 minutes in northern St Clair county, there’s a thin band of snow hitting us off southern Lake Huron and it’s intense. Wind is really ramping up also out of the north east. Just looking at the radar the storm looks like it’s heading more north north east then north east like I thought it was supposed to. Heck even northern lower will pick up a few inches if it keeps heading north. Enjoy the snow everyone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toro99 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hey Stebo, I know you’ve had some opinions on DTW over the years, what would you have done for the GRR forecast area? It’s seems crazy to me (just a lurker mind you) that based on 24 hr trends and current guidance that most if not all of their advisory counties should have been upgraded to warning. Even using a conservative 18:1 slr (their number per afd) and avg. qpf of around 0.35-0.40 for the whole area, you come out with snowfall and event duration that would seem to warrant the upgrade?
