Major snowstorm brewing

[audiophile]

My very first general forecast of 6 to 10 inches region wide might prove to be the most accurate!

My updated ranges:
- 6 to 9 inches for Lansing and Flint (no change).
- 6 to 9 inches for Oakland and Macomb (reduced from 7 to 10).
- 7 to 10 inches for I-94 corridor (reduced from 8 to 12).
- 8 to 11 inches for border counties in Michigan and for Toledo area (reduced from 10 to 12 or 10 to 14 inches).

Vast majority of snow in nearly all areas will fall today or tonight. Most of Metro Detroit will see only 1 to 2 inches of new accumulation tomorrow. Closer to the state line, up to 4 inches will be possible.

My co-worker actually nailed it!

This snow is falling randomly it would seem…
White Lake and Grand Blanc are at 3 inches. Flint is at 6.9 inches (!). Clio is at 5 and Flushing at 5.5 inches. But then down this way it’s still 1-2. All totals as of 12-1pm.

We need to get more down here. I love the snow. Flint is lucky. I can't remember the last time I saw 7 inches.

Found four weather links for the Bluewater Area (other than Env. Canada).

This time around places like London and Huron County might not get it any worse than Sarnia, Chatham-Kent, or Windsor.

It seems like the last few years, February has been worse for weather that January.

This just lends credence to my theory that it seems like everything is getting pushed up a month. It feels like summer is lasting longer, winter doesn't push in until January, and it doesn't start really getting/staying warm until we're into June. I could just be nuts, but it just doesn't feel like the seasons are coming in when they used to. It could be my biases as an outdoor worker, too.

I’ve noticed the exact same thing actually so it’s not just you… instead of coming at the beginning of December (meteorological winter) it seems to come around December 21st (Calender winter). Same for the other seasons. Instead of the beginning of that month it’s whenever the solstice is.

I am a school bus driver. Getting kids to school is only half the job. We need to get them home 8 hours later. This morning would have been easy. Not as easy this afternoon. I've had, on a couple occasions, a 45 minute route take 180 minutes to run because snow got bad as the day progressed. Five of my 30 miles are on unpaved roads that probably don't get plowing priority.

Depending on which area of town you’re in they may not get plowed at all around there. If you don’t already I highly recommend you make use of the mud/snow button on the right control panel above the radio. It’s a godsend in those buses.
