Out of curiosity, what was the total QPF? At first inspection, it seems this also happened to be a powdery snow. So it was a combination of models busting on the timing of phasing and a bullseye of forcing right in the DGZ.

We had some surprise stratiform rain last week (it only amounted to a couple tenths of an inch) in the midst of what's been an otherwise extended dry spell, and yeah, the roads were also trash.

The biggest bust was February 4-6, 2011. DTW getting 6" exactly with this event though is funny...

Are you on the east or west side of South Bend?

Looks that way. OBS sites around the Detroit area have been reporting moderate/heavy snow for the past 2 hours.

I came into this thread expecting to see posts weenie-ing out over the surprise 1-3" of snow with near-blizzard conditions (pics included). Instead, I see nothing but whining about the headlines (or lack thereof). Gotta love it...

I'll be sure to troll bump when it happens on 1/18 or 1/25. FTP *AND* FBJ

The Bears are this season's Commanders. They'll inevitably get obliterated in the NFCCG at the latest. But I hope fans enjoy the rush while it lasts!

I mean, even if it were cold enough for snow, it's still not a favorable track for most. So it makes no any how...

DFW made it to 80*F again today, though the record high was quite safe at 88*F.

DFW made it to 80*F yesterday, and yet that was still a few degrees shy of the record high (83*F).

Avergae highs for DFW this time of year are in the mid 50s.

Pretty (somewhat unexpected) active morning across the OKC Metro this morning with widespread severe t'storm warnings and even a couple tornado warnings. The last time this happened in January was 2021, which foreshadowed a very (for some folks, historic) cold/stormy pattern the following month.

^^^Cool...

Since you didn't make location a condition (as your lifetime condition frankly just ain't fair for a lot of us younger folks from the Detroit area), I would say GHD 1 in Chicago...
