roardog Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 GOOD MORNING, hope everyone is enjoying the rain. (waste of moisture), good thing is I was not surprised-warm air always wins It's snowing here. Freezing rain for awhile last night then it changed to snow and has been snowing for a few hours now. It hasn't made it above 32F. Snowpack intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 GOOD MORNING, hope everyone is enjoying the rain. (waste of moisture), good thing is I was not surprised-warm air always wins [sarcasm] Well, I know Im surprised. Cant believe it is raining and 34-35F. The forecast was for snow and a temperature of 18 to 20F. [/sarcasm] Seriously though the warmth isnt lasting long. Though the snow is sinking some its really just becoming more solid once it freezes over. I have to do a core sample later, but Im sure this rain is merely adding water content to the slightly sinking snow, not melting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roardog Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 what is snowpack there? It was about 7 inches yesterday. I would guess about 1.5 inches or so of wet snow has fallen today since it changed from freezing rain. It's still snowing at a decent clip. With the temp at 32F though, it's definitely a low ratio snow. Also, it looks like it may end soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Eww here, we lost like 3 " of snowfall due to the rain. :unsure: Its amazingly stormy there? Like what? Theres no wind or thunder anywhere, I assume you had a heavier burst of rain? Here it is annoying light rain with basically no wind. Also...what do you mean you lost 3" of snowfall? Theres no way your snow depth sank 3 inches (I think it sunk about an inch here).

I knew the thumb, while missing out on some of the better synoptic snow in SE MI so far this season, has had some sweet LES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugHillMatt Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Got about 6 inches of snow here throughout the night last night...the last two weeks have been very good to us snow-wise. Snow depth is around 15-16 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Got about 6 inches of snow here throughout the night last night...the last two weeks have been very good to us snow-wise. Snow depth is around 15-16 inches. Couldn't even scrape out 2" one county south of you. We had gotten up to around 8" - 10" on the ground before this event, but the sleet/freezing rain compacted things nicely. Don't know were we stand right now. Didn't check this morning before leaving for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Whew, just barely avoided hitting 40. Had a high of 39 earlier this morning. Also wasn't a 100% snow pack wipeout, although there's obviously a lot of grass showing versus yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't check this morning before leaving for work. It seems there was a real tight gradient between Northern and southern parts of Ottawa County. Grand Haven got around 6 inches and you guys got less than 2". Did Holland get anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowMeHunter Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 What a gloomy day in SE MI.. I keep waiting to see them drop off that 37/36 they're stuck at.

snowstormcanuck Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 neither have i EC calling for a little accumulation tonight and tomorrow but I'm not seeing it based on radar/model trends. Maybe a dusting. Tim updated the snowfall totals. I can't believe Ottawa's running neck and neck with downtown Toronto. Hopefully you guys get it turned around quickly. What's your futility record? ~135cm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
