    If you looked at radar, you can see how the storms were retrograding in from Lake erie and moving at a snails pace. A much smaller and more short-lived one hit me yesterday and dropped 1.54" in 2 hours.

    I get that this is super generalized, but "favorable" is vastly different depending on latitude. Do you mean deep winter? or merely seeing snow? The Great Lakes/New England absolutely get snow in unfavorable patterns. I give it about 80% chance that you or I see snow on more than 30% of days this winter. But if were talking more deep winter ala last year, thats when a 30/70 seems more realistic.

    ohhh the irony.

    During the past winter which was cold in the Great Lakes/Northeast and record warm in the southwest/west, we heard an unprecedented amount of discussion about the West & CONUS as a whole rather than the actual cold where most here live. It will be interesting to see if this continues this winter since average to cold anomalies are forecast in much of the south/central outside the north/northeast.

    Retrograding downpours this evening. We got 1.54" rain the last 2 hours. Total for the day 2.32".

    The cansips has been hellbent on cold. Im sure its too cold, but it has not changed much. Cfs changes all the time but it too has gotten colder. Nothing is screaming winter long torch.

    Yup. It doesn't mean its not hot out (a shame we have to preface that everytime so certain people dont freak), its just recognizing climo. Since records began in 1874, Detroit has hit 100+ the following years: 1878 1887 1911 1918 1930 1931 1933 1934 1936 1939 1941 1946 1952 1953 1955 1977 1988 1995 2011 2012 Thats it. It was an incredible stretch from 1930-1955, when 11 of the 26 years hit 100+. Only 9 years of the remaining 127 years did so.

    As I said, idk what happened at PIT but July 1977 had some brutal heat. However summers with brutal heat, regardless of the winter, are not uncommon in this area with our extreme seasons. But I do think spring 1977 gets lost in the shuffle. That was a very impressive and fast change from one of the coldest winters on record to one of the warmest springs.

    Detroit has now seen a temp range in 2026 from -10° to 97°. The DTX NWS range is -21° to 95°.

    Clearly the east got the brunt of it. Im not as familiar with their summer climo so I really didnt follow where this would rank. Kind of surprised that none of their subs even have a thread for it.

    Thats crazy how it skipped over Pittsburgh. Detroit hit 102 and NYC 104. The month had 14 days 90+ at DTW & 11 days at NYC

    Been a long time since I've seen a storm like that. Temp instantly dropped 20°, I estimate winds at 70 mph, and lots of trees down. Sticks/leaves/debris everywhere.

    Once again....who said its not hot?
  14. michsnowfreak
    They were a mixed bag but leaned on the cool side. 1972 was by far the coldest summer of the lot. 1987 was a hot one, and in 1977 a blistering heatwave engulfed much of the country in July.
  15. michsnowfreak
    Actually its more like 3-5° each day here. And again, who said its NOT hot as shit out? That is/was a given. Imagine a snowstorm calling for 8-10" and you get 4-6" and say "it still snowed". That would never fly here lol
