Remember to zipper merge your helicopters

So it'll be Thursday and Friday all over again

That’s true of every week.

Great here comes how are the roads posts.

Will no one think of the roads and how they are getting along these days?

Hey, how are the roads?

Just check Google maps traffic. If they're bad, you'll see orange and reds!

Will someone think of the roads??????

At least that is relevant to everyone. Way better than “I’m moving there” or “why did the cops drive by” posts that are literally only of interest to the person posting.

Snow day! Snow day! Snow day!

I hate working in Healthcare during these events. No work from home option 😫

Try being a home health worker. I’ve got patients to see from Niles to Montague.

Oh, no!!!!!!! Yes, at least I'm only going to and from one place. Be careful the next couple days 🙏

Might as well just open the Consumers Energy outage center map in a tab now. https://www.consumersenergy.com/outages/outage-center

Bring it.

Fucking come on

Ice ice baby. This will likely be upgraded to a Warning tomorrow evening, maybe even Freezing Rain Warning or Ice Storm Warning for a few counties.

They don't use the latter two warnings anymore.

[Yes “they” do](https://www.weather.gov/help-map)

I wish I could find it, but there was an article around two months ago when the blizzard was looking about how NWS Grand Rapids phased out and no longer uses those alerts anymore for simplicity Found: https://www.fox17online.com/winter-storm-watch-warning-advisory-what-they-mean It's important to note that many watches/warnings/advisories have been deleted or are not used anymore by our local office in order to simplify things. I have been part of NWS Grand Rapids meetings with other media outlets for decades, and their goal is to make things easier for the general public to absorb and interpret. That means no more lake effect snow advisories, lake effect snow warnings, blizzard watches, ice storm watches, or ice storm warnings. Any type of winter weather we experience now falls under the categories above.

To piggyback off this, an ice warning was just issued south of us, so I wonder if NWS GR used the ice storm warning, if it would be issued

Allegan and Kalamazoo just issued an ice storm warning.

Ok? I don't know what to tell you here. I posted an article showing how they dont

Yeah and the article was written so recently too but maybe that points to just how severe the ice storm may be?

I was wondering that myself. Or. Perhaps, they got that one wrong

Lovely. Can we just have spring already?

28 days until spring. Trying to keep the faith.

Ooh I wonder if we'll get a pretty layer of ice all over the trees and stuff. I like when that happens.

Maybe dumb question, I have a flight Wednesday PM. I have not really paid attention to how this played out in the past. What is the likelihood of it getting cancelled if it’s as bad as they think it will be?

Great chance it's delayed. Minor chance it's canceled.

You were right in both regards!

Wait was it canceled or did you make it? Sorry about the delay either way.

First delayed then canceled. Not too worried, it’s a leisure trip and I got rebooked for tomorrow.

Shit I’m supposed to fly to Detroit then Europe thereafter midday Thursday. How SOL am I???

I’ll believe it when Frankie tells me

[Wisconsin is getting Frankie’s attention.](https://youtu.be/2cyMLmTpBSI)

Yes, but will there be helicopters to post about??

So can we have some road salt this time, or do we still just get sand?

Shitty news for a trucker :/

God. Fucking. Dammit.

Thanks for the great news, dicknose

Pfffft. 1/4” of ice is nothin’

That's absolutely not nothing

Sorry, didn’t feel the /s was necessary in this case. Obviously I overestimated GR redditors.

1/4" of ice accumulation is most definitely *not* nothing, especially not with 40mph wind gusts.

Because sarcasm is so easy to convey via text, right?

Yeah, most of the time

They are clearly much smarter than you, they use sarcasm which is the highest form of comedy. Just take the L and accept that you are inferior intellectually.

It’s almost like it’s February…

They’re not posting because they’re surprised, they’re posting incase someone hasn’t seen. But you are correct, it is February. You’re a very smart individual

We’re is it I woke up expecting a lot of snow, but nope we got powdered sugar all over

It's not here yet

Heavy precipitation, 1-3 inch’s lmfao

That's a ton of precipitation

Bingo. 1-3 inches of rain is the equivalent of like 40-50 inches of snow.

13-39" IIRC Nothing is more midwest than converting inches of rain to inches of snow for better conceptualization. 😂

Don't we already have news...if this is a channel to repost news then I guess we can load this channel up

Settle down

[удалено]

It's the ice buildup

LOL god I’m scheduled to drive to TN tomorrow for a weekend trip, let’s see if I can beat the storm 😈

FHPS will be closed on Wednesday, Feb. 22. This includes all evening/after school activities and child care. Just got this text.
