Yea areas to the nw are gonna end up with more. Hopefully it'll start ripping soon further east.

Just north and west of me did better.  Wonder how Flint / Lansing / Battle Creek line had an area of snow for a good couple hours.  Going to be interesting to see all the reports as I expect there is going to be quite the range of results in the end.

Yeah the models had the snow starting there earlier it's going to be interesting to see the low develop next few hours for detroit area.

Sounds like dendrites/ratios where a big problem for a lot of people outside the primary axis of snowfall but out here we had good flakes for the majority of the day. I'll take measurements in a bit as snow continues to taper but I'd estimate at least 7-8" in Iowa City. The axis of heavier snowfall was a lot narrower than forecast of which the dry slot in IL is probably partly to blame, but elsewhere I gotta wonder if just poor lift/dry air in the DGZ causing ratios to not pan out the reason for underperforming.

Definitely a side of me hoping the developing low shown by the models was going to help our area today do better but it 'seems' organization was slower.

Edit* 1.5” here. Just went out to the board and measured. Can still see the grass in spots.

It's going as planned and still a long ways to go, atleast on the east side. Definitly nothing substantial tho. Better than nothing I suppose.

Yeah this is disappointing to see how things are struggling to fill in. It doesn’t help there’s a nice tornado outbreak to the south

I think that has a lot to do with it. When there are tons of tstorms, like there are, it disrupts the moisture transport to the northern part and we get this blotchy radar look.
