I see there could be gusts to 30MPH tonight/overnight...wouldn't want to be out in the rural areas tonight with this powder blowing around. 1.75" for this system. I am lagging a bit behind at 17.05" for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWeatherPimp Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I have never seen pixie dust accumulate as well as it has today. We are continuing to get pretty heavy pixie dust showers as I would describe them (even though radar echoes are extremely weak) and it continues to accumulate quite efficiently. I would guess we are probably over 6 inches now, but haven't measured in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIT seems to think I see my best snows overnight, but Im not buying that. I think we are too far north to get into the heavy banding that will occur later on.

michsnowfreak Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Had the old "pixie dust" storm since about 2pm today. 1 mile visibility but small flakes. Through 7pm we had 0.7" of sugary powder, very low ratio snow, probably 10-11:1, considering small flake size. Roads very slippery, old glacier snowpack with a nice refresher.

Yea, we just had all pixie dust, with no big flakes at all. Got right around 4" still snowing though.. I figured ratios would be better than they have here today. Had moderate snow all day, but it's just so fine it takes forever to accumulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was telling a friend of mine if we had gotten big flakes instead of all the fine stuff we'd probably have 7" or more.. Couldnt be much better than 10:1 maybe 11 or 12:1 But it's just like dust. I prefer the heavy wet snow myself. The kind that plasters everything with snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be a really nice pic. Take some shots of the trees and stuff at inester park and the ivester house. I bet you could get some really nice shots there.

We went from having 6" of powder with ~0.5" water content to 3" of glacier with ~0.6" water content. One good thing is it wont be BUDGING for a while, and it makes a good base.

Have some 2" spots and some 4" spots, overall 3" average. Still lots of big snowbanks that you can actually stand on top of too. Also I noticed in some of the open, hilly areas near DTW where lots of drifting took place last week there are bare spots and deep 1-2 foot drifts that are so waterlogged/frozen they would probably suck you in like quicksand.

ukrocks Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 2.0 inches of snow here! Hoping the storm next week can be the biggie here. Hoping I can have a little snow pack for a while. And hoping my professors cancel classes tomorrow since I know the University won't close even though everything else is closed and shut down.
