Got Snow?

Re: Got Snow?
My car had lots of snow on it this morning! Looked on the NWS site and Marquette has had 7.5 inches in 12 hours, 8.8 in a 24 hour period. There is a nice heavy band set up due to a NE wind off the lake that is right over Marquette and its really moving anywhere fast. Negaunee, a "Suburb" of Marquette is prob going end up with 20-30 inches due to up-sloping.
The dry slot looks like its going to stay south of the U.P. The official forecast calls for 5-8 inches today and 2 to 4 tonight.

Re: Got Snow?
Well, the thread was a general winter-weather-discussion thread. We used to do this in the "Hey, Duluth/Superior..." thread, but this year it's here. And, there is a certain amount of excitement for the first storm of the year, so let us have our moment. The bulk of us in here are Yoopers and we don't have much else for excitement.
Pathetic. Everyone's discussing this like it's the storm of the century.
It's an itty bitty storm, the first one of the season.
The weathermen who aggregately are not very good at their jobs love you people for hyping them up. Relax... it's just some snow... this thread is pretty insulting to anyone living north of Maryland and/or Missouri
Seriously - what a lame discussion about a lame storm....

Re: Got Snow?
We got about 8" last night at my house in Ishpeming and it's still coming down.
Actually, Ishpeming, Negaunee, and Marquette are the only cities in Marquette county. So it's not a suburb.

Actually that was more of an informational post. The more you know and all that.

Re: Got Snow?
Harvey would best represent the "Suburb" of Marquette.
A larger scale might equate Negaunee:Marquette as:
Kitchner:Toronto
Rochester:Buffalo
Bay Shore:Brooklyn

Re: Got Snow?
Picked up a pretty big and fast acting band here in Gloversville this morning (45 minutes west of Albany)
We've got atleast 6-8 inches and will probably be looking at a foot by noon if this keeps up.
All the local schools are closed. I need to call Dolgeville to see if they cancelled their volleyball game tonight or I'm going to have to drive 30-45 minutes in this crap to cover the game for my newspaper!
What a great first week....First assignment I had to drive to a podunk town (Wells) with no cell phone service and a gym that was small enough where they didnt have a full three point line. New York State Class D basketball at its finest. The ENTIRE district enrollment K-12 was 138 kids.
My graduating class was 400.

Negaunee is only 12.4 miles from Marquette.
Rochester is 73 miles from Buffalo. Not sure how that equates

Re: Got Snow?
We've got some snow, but it's going to turn to rain this afternoon so by the time it finishes we might have two inches of slush. I hate that. The real problem is the wind. Supposed to gust to 60mph this afternoon.

Re: Got Snow?
I should specify that I broke the snowblower today, and it was the shear pins, but I can't get the old ones out, so can't get the new ones in. I did get almost everything done, except the 2 feet of icy slush at the bottom of the driveway (which I shoveled), and of course, the slush that has fallen since 7:30 (which I GET to shovel later!!). Someone more mechanically inclined (read: at all) is going to check it out in the next few days. but the Pam is excellent advice.

10+ inches with snow drifts of 4-5 feet, 20 mph winds with gusts up to 40, and a windchill of 15-20 below.
Yeah, I've been through worse, but not since high school (Dartmouth snows were heavier, but without the winds, and I didn't need to drive there). And normally not in December - normally if this kind of storm hits it's in February or March.

Why? Why does this happen when I'm no longer a student? Is there such thing as a good excuse to ditch work for this?
The comments are pretty good too.
There was a comment that read:
