WestMichigan Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 We can't even pull off a good rainstorm this year. Yesterday the forecast was for about 1.4" at GRR. At this point breaking 0.5" might be a challenge. This lack of precipitation better change soon or it is going to be a long, hot, dry summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 We are getting near-blizzard conditions this morning. The snow has been steady and moderate, with likely over an inch. This has been quite a spring storm. 27 hours ago we had lightning and thunder, then a day of steady, soaking rain, and now near blizzard. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 7.0". Easily best storm of 1995-96.

Still don’t understand to this day why we were under a blizzard warning. Yes. That March storm 2002 there wasn’t a dusting until south of 8 mile. 8-9” at belle isle. 0” at 75 and 8mile cool storm to chase.

I had fun Ive learned over the years that there are very few TRUE blizzards. Quite a few strong storms have blizzard or near blizzard conditions, but very few true blizzards. I see time and time again these NWS offices issue blizzard warnings and when you check the conditions, it does not end up being a blizzard. Many times its not even really close. Locally, the storms of 1999, 2005, and 2015 and Im sure multiple others had the criteria met for snow reducing visibility to 1/4 or less for 3+ consecutive hours, but sustained winds were not 35mph+. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 We had teflon snow here today, non-stick. It didn't snow hard enough to overcome the wet/warm ground, so nothing measurable here, or at MLI and DVN. MLI's seasonal snowfall will remain at 6.7". Final rain total here of 1.12" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
