mimillman Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Should be mod to light snow rest of the day here. Curious to see how any LE sets up tomorrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By a few tenths yeah. Some might’ve blown off when I cleared it and put it on top during a lull, not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually more blowing than I thought there would be at this point. Definitely a different feel out there this last hour. Woke up to big fat lazy flakes and now it’s really blowing around. Chiller and windier for sure. Enjoying this part of the storm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnwx85 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 4.75 inches so far. Very pretty. Death band incoming from the west. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherMonger Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Back at home, work let people leave if they wanted to. Have to be around 6" or so, drifting so bad be hard to get a good measurement. Shoveled a path from back door to yard and a small area in the grass for my dog. Roads were pretty bad, but no cars im ditches which for the first real snow of the year is impressive. Only vehicle I seen with problems was a road plow, was plowing an entrance to the state fairgrounds and must have git his front tire in a dip or hole, couldn't go forward or backward so must not have had much salt in the bed.

RCNYILWX Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 6.1" here as of 930 am. The rates when I woke up at a bit after 8am were really impressive, some of the heaviest since I've been living in the Naper Carriage Hill subdivision (since May 2015). We've since eased back to -SN/borderline SN with a slight recent uptick. Had told neighborhood friends expecting 6-8" locally, so should fall right in that range. My top end/90th percentile range was 10-12" which would've required that band to be a lot more slow moving. Nice event. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stood the course in a very tough gradient situation and looks like you will end up almost spot on in most zones. Not easy to do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwohweather Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Looking at the radar and current conditions it looks like along a line from Angola, IN to Hillsdale, MI has transitioned to snow. Modeling showed this almost perfectly, Toledo was not supposed to be all snow until around 1-2 PM with potential mixing really until rush hour. I'd feel very confident looking at the radar and previous results off to the west already in the 10-18" predictions. I will add it's a shame LE is out of play but that lake is pretty frozen over now. Could get some really high rates on Thursday if this were not the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night I put 2 snow boards out, one of which I cleared at 2:30 when I measured 2.3”. At 8:30, it had 7.8”.

Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk Any thoughts on the northern end for tomorrow? I pulled some forecast soundings locally and there's a pesky dry layer around 900-850 mb, but most of the rest of the column is moist/almost saturated. Obviously wherever the lake effect band is would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I hit 6 inches it will be a miracle unless that fills in. Dtx radar is down for maintenance so that's playing a part in why there's the gap in radar at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In recalling the models and their gradient across Cook County I'd have to say they nailed it. I'm just about to 2" here in southern Lake County while I see you folks in Cook reporting 6"+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 For reference, Detroit’s daily snowfall record for today is 4.2”. That record was set in 1902. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its rare for them to do it before the event has really started but shows how little impact they expect this storm to have. Original winter weather advisory was for 4-8" but now the forecast mentions more rain and max 2-4" for the event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll probably end up with 6 inches, but areas to the north and south will do better because of that north/south stream split pivoting over my area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laferri2 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I see the northern Metro Detroit suburbs ending up with 3-5 inches; Metro Detroit will watch another big dog system slide by just to the south and\or north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
