weatherbo Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 A quiet Christmas morning with only light snow and flurries remaining... perfect for deep frying a turkey later. This storm had it all. Snow, wind, cold, long duration. MQT in Negaunee recorded a three day total of 26.3" as of 7 am. Their liquid equiv was 1.68, so ratios averaged 16:1. Beautiful blizzard snow. I finished with 28-30" as a best guestimate. Merry Christmas from the yoop! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnwx85 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 We ended up with around 6 inches of snow. Blizzard conditions subsided late Saturday morning. Got on the road for the Chicago suburbs for Christmas yesterday evening. It was slow going until about Lake County, IN then it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been some heavy snow here over the past 48 hours. Probably 12" of LE fluff on top of the 4" of synoptic snow from Wednesday evening/night. The drifts are up to 3-4' in some exposed areas. The thing is the snow didn't really start to come down hard until after the wind died down a bit. Thursday morning was brutal in terms of wind and cold, but the snow was light at the time. Though there was a lot of blowing snow in the air, there was somewhat of a dry slot between the synoptic event and the lake effect event. It was nothing like GHD 1 where the strongest wind and heaviest snow occurred together. These 50-80 hour lake effect events have large totals, but they just don't really compare to a storm that drops its load all at once. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
