I have, and if it's what I'm thinking, I frankly don't care. Anyway, it started snowing again on the eastside. | ||

Not that I honestly trust the weather channel too much, but this map should make you happy Detroitrise. Projected amounts as of 6:30.  | ||

You're about 10-15 minutes too late. I've already seen it and it makes me more than happy! | ||

http://radar.weather.gov/radar .php?rid=DTX&product=N0R&overl ay=11101111&loop=yes and check the Northern Indiana radar to see something really ominous. Impressive large bands of heavy snow are already forming. The pieces are beginning to come together; we're looking at 15-20 hours of decent snowfall. I didn't make it to town tonight--mostly because I couldn't get Red Wings tickets--but that will probably turn out for the best. | ||

Wow! All that snow looks so much like fun! Thats ok....you folks in Michigan can keep it. | ||
Detroitrise Member Username: Detroitrise Post Number: 1122 Registered: 09-2007 |
Yeah, either way, the side streets will probably still be bad enough. If anything, it will be toning down Sunday Evening. However, the Drifting and Blowing may linger into that night. | ||

Can somebody help me out here? We had flurries about a half an hour this afternoon (about noon) in Farmington Hills. The Kroger was PACKED! But when walked out of the store 30 minutes later, the flurries ended and it hasn't snowed since. So what's really going on? What's really expected? | ||

Thank you for at least admitting you didn't know what was happening instead of attacking the weather man or forecasts. Good question. Anyway, The snow from earlier was basically just a result of the Warm Air Advection and some lift. However, the lift didn't make it into the snow growth zone, which is why they were so tiny Then after that, a pretty massive mid-level dry slot moved in. Usually, when those move in, it dries out the mid levels of the atmosphere, and that usually limits the formation of snow in the atmosphere. Now, we're back into the dynamics, moisture (and even instability) of the storm system and places are seeing larger flakes and rates due to this and the flakes reaching the best snow growth region in the atmosphere. | ||

"No snow here in SUNNY Nevada! Have fun!" No water crisis here in lush, verdant Michigan, have fun! Geez, i'd rather deal with snow and cold than have serious doubts about having enough drinking water for the burgeoning local population. | ||

According to the METARs, every airport in Michigan south of Saginaw and Muskegon is reporting "light" snow, except for Troy, which is reporting "moderate" snow. Of course, most of these are automated, so you really have no idea. | ||

I need four inches to fall and I won't have to work at 6:30 a.m. for my very last day at the YMCA...Two weeks ago I started working at a new job (very nice) and promised to work all my scheduled weekends at the Y as not to screw my fellow employees for the holiday. Tomorrow is my last day after years spent at the good old Y, SNOW LIKE A MUTHA!•• | ||

"Jeremy," the new Channel 7 weather guy, talked about how the weather will "continue to deteriorate" overnight. It's SNOWING. Because it's Michigan. It can be hard to drive in, and we'll probably get snowed in, but it isn't a catastrophe. Most of us will cook food, watch movies and play games. |
