Chicago Storm Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 I don't know how any of the licensing stuff works. I'm just trying to document it as best I can. I love looking back at memorable events. Any recommendations?Get into contact with Brett Adair of Live Storms Media on Facebook, or I believe his number is on their website as well. He could set you up quickly temporarily. Everyone else is making $ off of video like that right now, so why not you too.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not that that would hurt the cause, but it'd still be the dispersed version, just a bit heavier. To mimic KBUF, you'd have to re-draw the shape of SWMI's coast line so it funneled to a point just west of Kzoo. That'd be about perfect I think.

The Lake Michigan "equivalent" of Buffalo, so to speak, would be roughly between Gary-Michigan City (or maybe into the extreme sw corner of MI) where you can just firehose it in there in a single band with rates of several inches per hour when LES parameters are very good. The problem is that the duration is more limited, so it doesn't rack up the insane totals that the Buffalo area can get. It can pile up quickly while it lasts though --- recall Michigan City receiving about 30" on 12/19/04. I've been in 4-5" per hour on a couple of occasions with LES off of southern Lake Michigan. Didn't have thunder then, but I really didn't care lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy totals for around here anyways. Totals from 4 just south of town on up to near a foot in Pennfield/north side on back to Kalamazoo from what I am hearing via channel 3.. About 10 here by Emmett St and or a couple of blocks from Pennfield.. Work is about a little over two miles south so it will be interesting to see what a difference that makes.

frostfern Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 6 hours ago, WestMichigan said: Just saw 7.6 inches at midnight at GRR. Seems like the winds were a little too strong today and pushed the snow more inland. Someone is going to have some impressive totals in West Michigan out of this and that is small amounts compared to Northern Lower Michigan or Western New York. 8” depth on the ground here.

Didn't have thunder then, but I really didn't care lol The problem is you need a stationary stacked low somewhere near the south end of Lake Huron. That just doesn’t happen. If there is a low there it tends to be on its way north towards Quebec or Hudson Bay. You can get northerly flow for a while with an arctic high, but then the inversion heights are too low and winds too light to get the deep dominant band you need to really dump.

Don't know if the winds were too strong and blowing everything inland but I have seen some crazy totals for LES in places you wouldn't normally expect it. I think it was a result of the DGZ layer being more elevated than normal due to the very warm lake temperature. The seeding process is slower. In a more NW flow scenario it isn’t a problem because the fetch is long enough to overcome the longer seeding period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the most recent truly high end purely LES event in the LOT CWA. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
