Mogget Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Very nice storm—very pretty outside and the dog is quite pleased by his ability to roll around in it. I measure around six inches on a reported 0.53” of water. Not too much blowing yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im surprised at all the school closings. They didn't close most of the macomb schools ahead of the last event, but closed today while I think only an inch has fallen. I suppose the fact the heaviest snow is falling during rush hour is the reason. I did enjoy my trip last week. Sold my house. No way i wouldve believed you if you told me 10 years ago id sell my house for what i did. Also I got to witness thundersnow, even tho the bigger totals were just to my west. It was a weird week, record heat in Florida to thundersnow. Downriver doing good so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 It never gets old waking up and opening the curtains to a fresh Winter wonderland. It's really coming down and it's absolutely gorgeous outside. Nearing 4 inches already. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Finished with 4.0" here, easily the best/most enjoyable event of the winter. DVN finished with 4.5", MLI had 2.5". 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen to that The discussion out of the Detroit office this morning was less than hopeful for the higher end amounts, but they seem to be under doing those?

TheNiño Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I’d guesstimate 4.5in here in Mount Pleasant next to the lake. Been snowing all night it’s just so wet and sloppy it couldn’t accumulate to much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan 22 snowstorm Jan 25 snowstorm Feb 22 ice storm Mar 3 snowstorm Mar 10 snowstorm What did you get with the prolonged Christmas event? We had good 8" on the ground on Christmas day (of course it was very windy so 4"-12" spread with 2-3' drifts). Update on this storm IMBY: Took my dog for a walk around 7AM and the flake size increased significantly (dime => quarter) so now we have over 3". It was an awesome hour dog walk in the best snowfall rates here. Flake size is dropping off now. So it looks like end up with 4" maybe a bit more. Good enough for me as this means this winter I am now right about average for snowfall. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owensnow Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 can someone please explain to me how it is that almost everyone of these events quits halfway through the forecasted event? Woke up this morning, and it was snowing very nicely, and now already reduced to pixie dust with supposedly five more hours to go? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toro99 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Probably the most gorgeous snowfall we’ve had in as long as I can remember here in Hudsonville, southwest of Grand Rapids. Incredible flake stacking, what an over performer! Over a foot and counting on an elevated deck, and I’ve never seen 10 inches stack on a 1 inch wide deck railing! I am making a mental note of the storm, to remind myself that not every storm underperforms. Should help with my psychological state moving forward. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolidIcewx Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Pines look beautiful. Got lighter in rates but working outside I’m okay with that. I got 4.2” with some compacting going on here on the SW side of riverview 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Another “storm”, another brutal gradient. <3” here while RFD makes a run at 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciascia Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 With the 7.3 at RFD, was it a matter of the storm having more moisture or were the ratios closer to 10:1 than anticipated? The Kuchera maps leading up had been around 5, whereas the 10:1 maps were 6-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am making a mental note of the storm, to remind myself that not every storm underperforms. Should help with my psychological state moving forward. About 9" here at peak fluff. I drops off a bit where I am, a bit NE from where you are. It's probably going to shrink some in the next few hours as it warms above freezing. The flakes are so large that it's not super dense, despite being a wet snow. It has that lake effect dendrite quality, despite being synoptic in nature. You could really see the elevated convergence zone just sitting over the line from just north of Holland to a little south of Lansing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kuchera maps leading up had been around 5, whereas the 10:1 maps were 6-8.Ratios probably were close to 10:1 in the narrow corridor with the warning criteria totals. Certainly overperformed my expectations up there on amounts, but I'd say overall thoughts on how things would play out weren't bad. If I had confidence in the amounts that were observed, particularly in central and northern McHenry County, would have issued the warning. Every event is a learning experience when you work in this field. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
