Yesterday we had a period of light snow which left around a tenth of an inch of accumulation and another .2 fell overnight. The high temp yesterday was 27° and the low was 15°.
We have winter weather advisories for the bottom two rows of counties until 8 pm tonight:
We have opposite extremes in LA today for the Super Bowl:
Forecast Discussion
...Snow along the lakeshore today and mainly south of I-96... A deep upper trough will move across the cwa today producing snow and enhancing the ongoing lake effect snow at the lake shore. The 06z HRRR shows a compact meso low over southern Lake Michigan that is progd to move east along the I-94 corridor today. The lift from the meso low and the upper trough should lead to accumulating snow in the 3 to 5 inch range south of I-96, with highest amounts closer to the lake shore. We`ve issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the southern two rows of counties through 00z. ...Clipper brings some snow Monday... A clipper will move across the state Monday, but it`s going to be on a weakening trend as it moves through. We`re likely to see light snow develop Monday morning which may slow down the morning commute. The snow will wind down Monday afternoon after an inch or two accumulates. ...Messy midweek system... For a few days the major models have been advertising a cold front pushing into the state Wednesday evening and then a low riding up the front Wednesday night and Thursday. The operational GFS and ECMWF have been waffling back and forth a bit on the track of the low and the timing of the cold air push into the cwa. The ensembles for both models, however, have been pretty consistent on total qpf...and it`s around an inch. The latest operational GFS is farther south and so produces more snow over the southern cwa. But we`re leaning toward the ensemble means because it`s more steady. Half of the qpf is likely to be rain, at least over the southern cwa as temperatures warm into the mid to upper 40s Wednesday. But then as the cold front sinks south, the rain will turn to snow and we`re probably looking at a few to several inches of accumulation. During the transition, a brief period of sleet looks possible too. The warmer temperatures will be replaced with another surge of cold air. Temperatures will fall through the 30s Thursday and by Friday we`ll be looking at highs in the lower to mid 20s.
Another great day on the slopes! Check this out!
Still got you marked down for you 20+ Inch snow prediction for the 19th, we’ll see how that plays out this weekend!
From the lastest Forecast Discussion:
“including frequent visibilities below 1/2 mile at Lansing. (Parts of U.S. 127 have been closed in the area.) ”
I can vouch for that. 🙂
Heavy snow here – we picked up 5 inches in the past 90 minutes. Temp is 17 degrees
Snowed steadily for a couple of hours and then stopped. Went out to shovel 2″ of extremely light, fluffy snow. As soon as I finished shoveling, it’s started up again. We have at least another inch and it’s still coming down pretty hard.
If you put the radar in motion, you can see the meso-low spinning along the I-94 corridor. Pretty cool.
Getting light snow falling here with a current temperature of 18.

Small, fine flakes falling here, and a lot of them. Very picturesque. Have a great day, friends.
At this time very light snow is falling here. 0.1″ of new snow fell overnight there is still 5.0″ of snow on the ground here at my house and officially at GRR there is also 5″ on the ground. There now has been 49 days in a row of 1″ or more of snow on the ground at GRR. At this time with that very light snow falling it is 13 here.

Here is the latest from the GFS! Potential for heavy Snow!
Meanwhile the snow just keeps coming! I see we are still on track for a snowstorm next week despite the warm weather hype! Wow! Back to slopes I go as soon as they open up! Heaven on Earth baby! Incredible!
