Everyone gets burned. Its just how it goes. Let's get back to model watching. And soon now casting!

Ever since @A-L-E-K took S. MI off the thread title each run gets better and better for us.

NWS issued a winter storm warning for monroe co for 5-8". Advisory for wayne for 4-6" isolated 7". Advisory for Oakland and macomb for 2-4" isolated 5"

Dtx thinking 4-6" here. Could have close to a foot of powder on the ground Monday morning!

-10° at Detroit is the coldest since 2019. Ann Arbor, the usual cold spot with its bowl effect, hit -21°! Flint hit a record -24°. This is not my pic but its an incredible shot of sunrise at -10° over the Detroit River in Wyandotte.

-10° here this morning. I think DTW low also -10 but unsure yet. Cold spot Ann Arbor hit -21°! This is not my photo, but an incredible shot of a -10° sunrise over the Detroit River in Wyandotte.

Cold anamolies will continue to grow. Its like the tundra outside.

Theres 2+ solid months left of winter storm potential. We know how quickly things can and do change. And I have no doubt in the meantime there will be plenty more nickels and dimes. Give us a cold pattern in MI and it snows.

With all the blowing and drifting the past week i got to thinking. The drifts look cool but Im not a drift person overall. It compacts the snow too much. Exposes some grass blades in open areas. My avg depth is like 5" now. Packed powder. Perfect for cross country skiing and winter hiking but if there wasnt so much wind it'd be fluffier and deeper. Tundra sunset

I have this weird feeling that Chicago is gonna get a huge march snowstorm or snow blitz that causes a very bookended season and makes for a solid snowier than avg winter despite a lot of zzz for you guys during actual winter.

No prob, and yes the 2000s were December-heavy.

Hopefully the bleeding has stopped. Still a difference between American and foreign models. Temps will be in the low teens during the snowfall 12z qpf for DTW ICON- 0.15 GFS- 0.18 NAM- 0.24 GEM- 0.31 EUR- 0.31 RGEM- 0.36

Enjoy! The cross country skiing should be phenomenal. With multiple layers of snow and plenty of compacting/settling/drifting, its that perfect "packed powder"

Agree. February has been our pot of gold frequently in recent years. I believe either Sunday or Monday is the exact halfway mark of the snow season average-wise. Breakdown of 6”+ snowstorms at Detroit by month (Nov 1880 – Jan 2026) Nov- 8 Dec- 37 Jan- 45 Feb- 46 Mar- 31 Apr- 4
