featherwx Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Can’t imagine what it’s going to look like when this band moves through given how it’s already felt like a blizzard these last couple of hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Picked up a solid half inch of sleet causing frozen and rutted slippery streets. It has been years since we have had that much sleet (not one of the precip types we often get). Has since turned to snow and it's snowing and blowing nicely. A word of caution, with Grand Rapids radar being down you are going to get what appears to be drying and voids in the radar that are simply not the case.

IMADreamer Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Still snowing, but I have no idea how much. It's blowing hard out there. I know we got a pretty good amount but no clue. It's slick and there is a huge backup on Highway 61 in Missouri that Modot says will take 8 hours to clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRRR is worst case for me, snow 23-01z then dry, then sleet fest, then back to dry snow till midnight. NAM 3km and 12km has potential thunder snow after 2z here.
