The less than 1" forecasted system has concluded with a final tally is a bit over 5". Would have been more if I used the NWS measurement process, sorry I just use the how much from start to finish. It was the high ratios that really made this system a lot more fun! Unfortunately it looks like the daily nickel and dime bombardment for this area is coming to a close. Now it is time to start look forward to bigger systems and possible clippers. Really hoping many of us can start getting having some winter snow fun as we head into February. As Red Green would say:

I am excited to see the coming pattern change coming into February. Scoring a big one well we shall see how it all plays out

There is much more volatility around here in the models. This is why you don't see many storm threads don't even get started until we are within a 3-5 day. Heck even at 5 day out there is a risk it will just end with an ALEK "And it's gone" post

It definitely has been very wintery around here. While there has not been any major storms we have been able to consistently see snow. Thank you Great Lakes!!!!

I have about 8" on the ground with that same 3" glacier/crusty bottom.

Also keep in mind that any storms >120hour on the models is really just model porn in the Great Lakes and Midwest regions. Mostly entertainment purposes. Helpful to understand trends, patterns and seeing coming changes but not much for storms.

Overperformer IMBY with this wave/system. Shoveled 2.5" as of 5:30AM off the driveway. Based on radar this will end up over 3". Currently have a decent snowpack. Forgot to post that yesterday MBY low was -10F. Ice on our lake is 10-12" thick.

Pretty happy with the LES results over the past few days. 4" total but majority (3") was from yesterday evening to midday today. Snow pack is currently 6". Funny to think parts of Louisiana have more

LES band was on and off yesterday, but since yesterday evening it has been going petty nice here making it very wintery with the cold temps.

Difficult as all three were awesome events. I will say Dec. 00 Bliz. I was living in very NW corner of Sterling Heights (which did very good) but I would like to get the full experience of what this area, I am living now, received knowing it was greater!!! That is still one of my favorite winter events as I have many fun stories

If I recall JB (?) would say: "Enjoy the weather, it's the only weather you got." I would add one thing: "If you want something else, get in your car and drive!" I have enjoyed this winter so far. Sure we've only been nickeled and dime. Sure I am hoping for something much greater. Plenty of time to go

Stevo you are completely ridiculous. You obviously have the money to travel. You want a big storm GO TO IT!!!! Fly to NE when they are going to get a monster Nor'easter 2-3'+ snowstorm. Go to UP or Buffalo or Tug Hill areas when they are expected 5'+ LES events. Go to Tahoe or ski resort out west when they are getting the Pacific Jet Express. Wasting your time, just hope Detroit are is going to experience an 18"+ blockbuster is like waiting for the Detroit Lions go to the Superbowl!!! I travel to thunderstorms and not always waiting for them to magically hit MBY.

That past several days have kept me busy with the driveway daily (I like to do it for exercise)

This is how I feel in some April/Mays when IL is on your 3rd+ round of great T-storms and all we have had is some remnant light rains IMBY Good thing is there are good signs (as Roardog has noted) of things becoming more stormy with this cold air around but getting there and actual results are always the trick!!

After last year's mild winter, I have been enjoying the cold. There has been several days with snowflakes falling, snow on the ground, frozen lakes and plenty of winter activities. I have done relatively well with snow only being a bit below average but the LES keeps falling. I know many here are bone dry and I feel lucky with what I have received. Looking forward to whatever comes next!!

I believe we will but we'll see. We have about 6" on the ground here. We have been getting ~1" or so every day after Friday's event. Been loving it here talking a daily Jeb walk with the dog on the ice!!

What an enjoyable winter weekend. It was just a blast as we spent several hours on the lake. There were a lot of people with snowmobiles, ice fishing and pick up hockey games. Yep the ice was safe enough for the snowmobilers. A wonderful weekend of hanging with the neighbors.

A foot ... stepping in 2-3" inches of snow!!

LES of about 1" so far here today. Looks like a bit more is moving in again. Now this is very fluffy snow with high ratios.

I have done relatively well considering how bad it has been for many. While no big storms, I have been able to be nickel and dime frequently. Hopefully we can move into a bigger snow/stormier pattern in the new few weeks.

Yes this area just very NE Livingston and NW Oakland is wonderful for LES snow. I estimate 15"-20" of snow around here is due to the great lakes. roardog I am watching this expected Monday NNE flow. Hoping it works out good for you. I have occasionally gotten some (inch or two) from Huron but it has to be just right to do it

Definitely. I have nearly 4" on the ground. We got about 3" on 31st & 1st.

Nice 1.5" snowfall this morning. Totally enjoyable winter day

The 12" snowstorm with solid thundersnow in March '23 is just sugar-coated fake news to Stevo ...
