It was a great winter here as well. It was like the pre party to a fantastic 2005-2015. It was cold and dry west of the lakes though.

2002-03 like would definitely be an interesting outcome!

Idk. No snowflakes in April is rare. But meaningful snow, thats another story.

Wintry day with snow squalls. Just a T for me but 0.3" at DTW. Season totals 40.1" my backyard, 39.4" DTW. Some squalls had isolated whiteouts and the sky often resembled thunderstorm incoming.

Yeah. I mean you cant take winter forecasts with more than a grain of salt in Fall, much less spring. I was just pointing out sometimes colors look worse than they are. Milder winters mean nothing in terms of total snowfall here (as long as we avoid torch). Its about storm track or lack thereof. After two cold winters in a row with good snowcover but no impressive storms locally (largest was a surprise 6.2") my early gut instinct is that next winter sees less deep winter but a bigger storm, likely the biggest in 5 years or so.

Yesterday at DTW ended up hi/low 43/34 and today 55/35 with colder weather the next two days. Backdoor front ftw.

Today is wild here in eastern MI. Cloudy and 35° at 1245pm with an inferno all around.

Not to mention the colors make it look so extreme. +0.8°-1.0° at Detroit and NYC.

They're just using the standard el nino climo like always lol

DTW is overcast and 35° at noon. What a way to run a nationwide torch day

Not expected to get out of the 40s here tmrw.

Wow. How much left?

That's a good catch. But the chart is saw has 1986-87 listed as moderate and 1987-88 as strong.

A strong Nino 3 years after a strong Nino? Ill believe it when I see it.

Id say D at best lol. They use blue so sparingly, imagine being in South Dakota thinking, wow if they use blue its gonna be COLD.
