You see point and click now has a total of 13 here. With temps looking colder and below freezing I wonder if GRR ends up upgrading to blizzard warnings?

With temps looking colder and below freezing I wonder if GRR ends up upgrading to blizzard warnings? No I’ve been busy, just about to take a gander and the latest. 13”.. impressive. The 12z trends this morning had me thinking maybe this would end up further east. I do see there’s some 50-60mph gusts southwest of us.. makes me wonder if they would pull the trigger on blizzard warnings. This snow type isn’t usually very conducive of blowing and drifting, but with 45mph winds it would make up for the heavy water content in the snow, so it’s possible. They’ll probably keep things as-is being it’s a relatively short duration event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should allow for the snow to blow with below freezing temps expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not currently, had some thunder earlier but was on a computer away from window so not sure if it was snowing then or not. Was surprised when I looked out the window and seen it snowing heavy.

sbnwx85 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Temp down to 33. Visibility at a 1/2 mile. Roads are snow covered. Nice banding showing up overhead on radar. Stronger winds should be here in about an hour. Great start to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
