A-L-E-K Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Still snowing very nicely. We're somewhere in the 4-5" range. An overperformer, no doubt. well deserved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern_IN_Wx Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Ended up with 5.5 inches of total snow here in Warsaw. I was expecting 3-4"...so I'm pleased with this event even though I only had 2 hours of decent dendrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atw Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Still snowing very nicely. We're somewhere in the 4-5" range. An overperformer, no doubt. 5 inches in Mexico Missouri (40 min northeast of Columbia). Not bad. Decent snow for many. Which model handled the qpf the best? It seems like somewhere between the NAM and GFS. Both models seem to capture where the heaviest snow would fall in Missouri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Didnt end up in the jackpot as ruc indicated I would, actually quite a few areas to my N, S, E, & W got a little more than me, but I certainly wouldnt call it shaft. Had a total imby of 4.3" snow with 0.28" water. Snow depth is a solid 5", with isolated 4" and 6" spots (the 6" are more than the 4", but an average is definitely 5"). So we are basically right back where we were in mid and late December, however it does not look quiet as it did after that storm. DTW had 5.0" with the storm today. Season totals thru 7am Jan 12th are 17.9" at DTW and 17.6" imby, so essentially we are near-normal on the season, and looking at the forecast, we will likely seal an above-average January by the 17th or so.

Pics from early this morning: nice pictures! Did you see the snowfall reports on Noaa, I disagree, on the low side. I'm pretty sure I got around 6" IMBY.

michsnowfreak Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Still snowing very nicely. We're somewhere in the 4-5" range. An overperformer, no doubt. Congrats. What was forecasted qpf? I received 5.3" total in NE Detroit. It's funny too because the snow seems much deeper than the half foot atorm in December. The roads were a disaster on Dec 12th because the first 4" was wet snow that glued to the streets after the flash freeze, but it probably wasnt quite 4" on the actual street. Plus the flash freeze was followed by 2" of powder and blowing/drifting snow. This storm was all powder so it all stuck to the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 nice pictures! Did you see the snowfall reports on Noaa, I disagree, on the low side. I'm pretty sure I got around 6" IMBY. Thanks. The reports are all spotter/coop reports, so it all depends who does the measuring, and there was some minor blowing/drifting with this storm, not to mention some old snow on the ground, plus it all varies from place to place anyway. There are guidelines as to how to measure snow, but even in a storm like this where the wind wasnt too bad, the snowboard was not the best.

Chicago WX Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 gunna have to get used to your new picture lol threw me off at first After last night's disaster, I had to ditch the Chief for a little bit. Still spitting snow here. Looks like a LES band making a visit soon. Still snowing very nicely. We're somewhere in the 4-5" range. An overperformer, no doubt. Good to hear.

snowstormcanuck Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 well deserved indeed. Congrats. What was forecasted qpf? The models made amends at 0z yesterday, after the snow had already started to pile up, but generally they were forecasting in the 0.1-0.2" QPF range, with a rogue run nipping me with the 0.25". Ended up with 4.8" of snow on 0.30" liquid. Good to hear. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Awesome LES bands in Cleveland attm. Models handled this perfectly. I would guess close to 7" at home judging by radar this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Love the pics Josh. Make sure nobody puts their footprints in that velvety layer of white gold. +1. Great pics as usual Josh. Also, and I hope Hoosier doesn't get mad (j/k man), but I tacked on 0.7" for the overnight stuff at LAF...based off COOP and CoCoRahs reports.

ayuud Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hey snowstormcanuk how much you guys have up there? i see a nice band moving toward the Toronto area. about 7" since i measured early this morning with some lake enhanced precip over me atm,i should be able to squeeze another 2-4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerball Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Well pending Ajdos' measurement and the 11:37 AM updated spotter reports outside the lake efect/enahnced areas, it appears Nothern Wayne and Southern Macomb were the jackpot areas (Grosse Pointe Farms and Warren both have 5"), and I was in the bullseye of 5.3" (my report is the "2 NNE of Downtown Detroit" one). .

SEMIweather Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Lake Orion received 5" from this storm according to the DTX reports, making us the "jackpot" area in Oakland County with this storm. Nice little storm, glad I got to experience a decent synoptic snowfall before I leave for Norman on the 16th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Did anybody notice that the snow consistency with this system was very different? It was very greasy and slippery. We only got about 2 inches of it, but it sure made roads messy. Even though it was pretty cold, the snow didn't seem very powdery. What were the meteorological factors to produce this type of snow?

Hoosier Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 +1. Great pics as usual Josh.

Chicago WX Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 That's fine. I was gonna tell you that you had to tack on more. Cool.

Trent Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Still going here, up to 8.1" with some residual LES floating around. NAM numbers nailed this storm to a T. CLE sitting at 7.8" storm total. Should be able to tack on a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I had 4.8" for this storm, and a little over 9" on the ground total. Nice job on the 7". I think Don Paul went for a max of 5-9" so you'll do better than that. Wow, 9" on the ground...so much for having a crappy winter lol. Had some LES showers this afternoon, dropped 0.1" fluff here, nothing to write home about. I guess for continuity sakes will make it part of my storm total to 4.4". Very jealous of the snow CT got today, but oh well. Its so nice to have everything look like deep winter, from the massive snow piles in mall parking lots to the fresh look of the blanketed snow. Its weird, in open areas lots of drifting, but in residential areas not much. Obviously the open areas will drift more in any event, but this time seems even moreso.
