Somewhat Important Note:

Due to the popularity of the blog, I receive numerous Facebook requests before potential snowstorms. Although I am flattered that you want to follow me on Facebook, I would ask that you not friend request me unless you know me in real life. It's nothing personal, I've just decided I don't want too many friends on Facebook.

Thanks, John

A Quick Burst Of Snow Tonight

A cold front will move through late this afternoon, and there will be precipitation along this cold front. Since temperatures will likely get into the upper 30's today, the precipitation will likely start off as rain or a wintry mix, but it will change to snow behind the cold front. We won't get a lot of snow with this event, but the snowfall rates will likely be impressive. There will likely be a brief period of near-whiteout to whiteout conditions tonight, as the snowfall will be very heavy at times and there will be a southwest wind during this event helping to blow the snow around a little bit. Lake Orion will likely pick up a quick 1-3" of snow with this event this evening. Not enough for a snow day, obviously, but if rain is the precipitation type at the start of this event, expect back roads to be icy tomorrow morning if they aren't icy already (mine are already icy).

Yes, I will admit, this was a complete bust, definitely the biggest bust in SE Michigan this year, as most places only picked up a dusting. However, those of you looking for snow will get some today.
