February 14-16 Winter Storm Part 2


Hoosier
 Share

Recommended Posts

There's about 5"-6" already on the ground an hour east of STL - minus whatever snow was here since last week, and we haven't even hit the morning show yet! I did wake up to the sound of a plow trying to clear the front of my street - considering it's the one the firefighters and police are on, not surprised they are trying to clear it during this temporary lull in the snowfall.

 

As for Combes, Texas [and McAllen] - that's my stomping grounds! Grew up there and still *technically* live there. I know for a fact ice accumulating on a trash can is newsworthy. Jajaja! Tell us a tropical storm/CAT 1 hurricane is coming and we won't bat an eye. Ice on a trashcan - that's going to stick in the memory. Anyone alive on Xmas 2004 will talk about it, but Hurricane Dolly? Pft.

For those in SE MI, it's mind boggling how DTX wont issue warnings, especially when thier own graphics and grids clearly depict a high impact event(during two commutes).  Lucas county(Toledo) is often treated this way by CLE.  They definitely tread their periphery differently.    See for yourself.  Those two counties to the south have a WWA.

we will easily see 2"+with the first wave alone. 1.7 as of 10 mins ago....I suspect we see a storm total of 10" or so by tmrw morning. 

All depends where the low stalls and the pivot point/deformations band stalls that dictates who will see a foot. As of now extreme eastern counties into windsor look prime. We often see precip be thrown back a little more NW in these tracks so id like where i sit at dtw, pontiac, and my crib. Bummed im gonna miss it, but yall enjoy. Hooefully it'll be well worth the wait.

Do you all think that batch of snow is central Illinois will hold together as it heads northeast??  would be another bonus inch for much of us if it does.  Plus it's our second course to our 3 course meal.  

 

My wife calls this my "Super Bowl".  At least i'm not alone

Lost its moisture feed should start to die down here soon and weaken as it moves NE

from HoustonAFD:

WOULDN'T BE TOTALLY SURPRISED TO SEE SOME "LAKE EFFECT" SNOW   
FLURRIES ALONG SOME OF THE NNW-SSE ORIENTED WATERS OR GALVESTON   
BAY INTO TONIGHT. OF COURSE, DON'T HAVE EXPERIENCE FORECASTING   
SUCH THINGS...BUT MAY BE INTERESTING TO SEE AS SOME OF THE HIRES

 If the friday storm can drop 4-5" and tonight storm could drop 8" that should put you over 20" snowdepth if my math is correct.
