hawkeye_wx Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 We were only able to get a couple tenths as the snow struggled to accumulate faster than it melted. There is much better overlap between the heavy precip and cold air up in Wisconsin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Somewhere in northern Marquette County is probably going to see 4 feet of snow. Latest NAM isn't backing down on the insane totals like you'd normally see as an event gets closer. 12z to 18z upped my total from 44 to 50 inches with pretty much 10:1 ratios. I'm as prepared as I can be. Going to be an interesting 36 hours. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s several in Marquette, use to be one in Big Bay at the motel but none that I’m aware of up this way. This area and the area where the heaviest snow will fall is pretty remote 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Snowed pretty heavily once the rain switched to snow early this afternoon. Came down hard enough it covered the roads and paved areas. Picked up a little over an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imneversatisfied Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Everything but the kitchen sink coming down here in Alpena. Seems to have more snow mixed in during heavier banding. Winds E at 30mph. Already 1k without power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 We fully switched over to snow about 2 hours ago. It has been heavily coming down since, with probably 1-1.5 inches or so accumulation so far on grass. Green Bay officially has us at 8-12" for snowfall, with 12-18 further N. What an escalation considering 48 hours ago we were talking snow showers. It's going to be a long night here in Green Bay. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roardog Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 The difference between heavy snow and 30 degrees and heavy snow and 33 or 34 degrees is huge imo. I actually kind of hate snowstorms where the surface temp is above freezing. It feels like you “waste” a lot of snow to melting but at the same time it sticks to everything and causes tree damage and power outages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just light snow but the temperature was around 35 the entire time it was snowing. Another one that I remember is April 2000 I think it was. There was a winter storm warning but none of it stuck that day although it snowed the entire day. It didn’t help that it was April but it was in the mid 30s the entire day. The following night, it dropped down to about 30 and we got a coating of snow on the grass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 It's been pretty gnarly so far here in GRB. We had thundersnow about 2 hours ago that I unfortunately did not hear. The wind has really picked up and we have I would say 3-4" on the ground. I think we have transitioned back to mix here as well though, although it is hard to tell. If we have transitioned back to mix, that could cut down on our totals however. Either way it is a slushy mess outside rn. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Negaunee received 24 inches and apparently was all melted by late afternoon the following day. Didn't you have a big one last year on Mayday? Record snow for May I thought.

It was a very damaging storm tree wise. Been coming down heavy all night. Just glancing out, from what I can see looks like at least 10 inches has fallen. Point has up to 24 more in total with the morning AFD stating another 10-12 possible by early afternoon. Winds have been gusty but nothing out of hand, at least here. Stoked the fire, gonna go back to bed for a while lol 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwx Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Think we got about 3” yesterday and about .5” overnight. But it’s all turning to slush. Expecting an inch or maybe 2 today but rates should be much lower. Ready for this to be over 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Went out for a quick measure on the drive. Most models have another 15-18". Looking at webcams down in Marquette, there's little to no accumulation. Same from talking to a friend in Big Bay. Snowbelt here getting hammered. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishforsnow Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Looking out at the drive I would estimate around 3 inches here in Hancock. I decided to work from home not so much due to the weather but this low pressure has really flared up my arthritis all over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
