Spartman Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Can be worse, right? I mean, the first half of May looks trainwrecky. Won't even be able to reach 50 for the first day or two of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Looks like one more shot at a freeze around next Wednesday, and then we should finally end the freeze threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think we are going to be gradually warm after this next 5 days. Back half of the month is already starting to show some eastern ridging on longer range models. The light at the end of the tunnel is quickly approaching. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestMichigan Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Had enough flakes this morning to turn the deck slightly slushy. Mostly rain now. Keeping the May snow streak alive for another year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 It has literally been pound town for about 13 hours now with in excess of a foot of snow. Remarkably power is still on but has been flashing. Another 24 hours of snow with 20" in the point yet to fall. This could be the densest snow I've ever witnessed. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very curious what the snow/water ratio ends up at. Glad to hear you still have power, hopefully it stays on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just measured this on my driveway which was back to asphalt yesterday after 2.5" of snow night before last. MQT as of 7 am had 10.5" with 2.00 liquid, so ratios running just over 5:1. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully power stays on at it slows a bit. Too much snow on trees and infrastructure is scary I’ve come to realize imby. That melt from the water content is going to be quite something. I’m sure the utility companies up there are better then consumers and DTE down here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's accumulating rapidly today, way more than I'd expect for May 1st. Likely over 2' will have fallen by late afternoon. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 It is still gusting well into the 40s, but our expected mostly cloudy day has turned into full sun instead as the atmospheric moisture and cloud shield has pulled away to the east. The full sun is probably aiding the high wind today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
