cyclone77 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Both MLI and DVN made it to 53 today. Substantially cooler here at only 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Made it into the low 40s with sun all day. sw winds really got rid of a lot of the snow. The pack is about a very heavy 4" deep now. Piles will be here a long while but all it takes is one day to make a winter wonderland look mangy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday we had full sun and 35° for a high and only lost 1/2" of snow (6 1/2 to 6). Today was cloudy and 40° and lost 2". We also have a very heavy 4".

weatherbo Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Clipper system should deliver a nice dose of snow to the UP snow belts. Forecast is for upwards of 8" but hi-res models yield as much as 15-20" imby and through the spine of the Keweenaw down to the Porkies the next 48 hours. Should be quite windy as well with temps falling below zero. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 After a few beautiful days in the mid 30s it’s back to reality today. Sunny and 15, Clipper type system tonight will be a bigger deal NE of the cities but we should still manage an inch or so to freshen things up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 12Z GFS looks mighty interesting in about 8 days for both winter and severe...details/ceiling will change many times of course but definitely some potential there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 3-6" of wet snow forecast here. Heaviest will fall early, then light snows after with a little freezing drizzle possible in the mix. Then temps drop tomorrow, and turn it rock hard. Yesterday, the winds sure were amped, running up to 40 mph. Been a windy winter this year. Many times winds up to 40-45 mph after low/front passages. And as @weatherbo mentioned, U.P. in for LES starting around Hurley/Ironwood eastward with 8-12" or more along the favored snow belts. Looks like Ironwood picked up 10" yesterday from LES. More to come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the long winters as long as it's active but even then, after 6 months of cold and snow I'm more than ready for the season to change...however, being this far north and so close to icy Lake Superior, it stays winter like well into April and cold into May most years, so there's very little springtime. In fact, some of the biggest snows I've seen while living here have been in April, and some snowpack usually lingers into May. Speaking of your time here, It's the 100th annual ice carnival going on now at tech. Heading over for the fireworks Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavily traveled areas are a mix of huge dirty snow banks patches of drifts and salt splattered grass. Still solid snow away from those areas though. Will be a while for these piles, taken in a mall lot last night lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter does get old, if it weren't for the milder Dec this season, I would be long ready for milder weather. Come March, tho, always ready to see it end. Days are longer, and looking forward to spring temps. But a good ol' fashioned blizzard is ok in my book, even if it's April. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Main snow is over with about 3" it looks like. Maybe 4". Snowed pretty good in that short time. No reports around the area yet. Edit: reports coming in show 3-4" around here with 4-6" possibly more further up the shore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciascia Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Was falling & blowing pretty hard around Poplar Grove & Harvard a little bit ago. Started spinning out & thankfully caught myself.

frostfern Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Some very heavy bursts of snow this morning. It's just not accumulating particularly fast as it's about as wet as can be without changing to straight rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary67 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 0.5" of sludge thus morning. Creeping up to 16" on the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Had about 2" of snow this morning. I can't believe stuff this heavy and we can drift but it sure did. Almost didn't get out of my driveway. Dragging bottom multiple times on the way out to work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toro99 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 About 2 inches of slushcrete, over 200 school district closed this morning in SW MI, GRR: GIVEN THE BREVITY OF THIS EVENT WHICH COMES DURING THE LESS TRAVELED OVERNIGHT PERIOD, AND FAST ARRIVAL OF ABOVE FREEZING TEMPS, WILL NOT ISSUE AN ADVISORY AT THIS TIME 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Very windy again today with NW winds up to 40-45 mph. CAA snow showers moving through as well. Temps have dropped 10dF in 2 hrs, from low 20's to low teens this morning. Another round of brutal cold on tap. Lake ice will probably build a little quicker this time around as winds will be fairly calm the next couple days. Open water temps near freezing.

They used to have to make it up after Memorial Day if they burned through their built-in snow days (i.e. President's Day). Now, with every kid having a school-issued ipad, they can count snow days as e-learning days. In fact, on a Zoom meeting right before GHDIII, our local school Superintendent proclaimed, "Thank goodness for e-learning days!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
