    Some potential next Sunday-Monday timeframe. But keep the discussion in here. NO NEW THREADS

    Since Jan 1st Detroit has only seen 1.77" precip (and 21.4" snow). Its much better than QC but its shockingly below avg for a La Nina. Fortunately its been nearly all snow except for a few meager lgt rain spurts.

    This one not just went south, the snow portion really withered away. Model reliability is just not there right now.

    TOL is located about 20 miles SW of actual Toledo in Swanton, OH.

    We do get big storms here as well. Its not all nickels and dimes. The 2010s saw the most 6"+ storms on record for Detroit, and several 10"+ storms too. Were definitely due for a good one (last 7"+ storm now 4 years ago) but a regression after the 2010s was anticipated. Snow climo always ebbs and flows but when you see something that really out you know it'll correct itself a bit. NYC and BOS also had a record snowy stretch in the 2000s/10s then a record drought the last decade or so (especially nyc).

    Imagine what it was like in the pre model days. There were no exhilarating good busts, no demoralizing bad busts....every day was a crapshoot.

    Not even close. East coast storms and rumors of storms bust all the type.

    Back in the day (oh God im sounding so old).....the boards were more full than they are now. And there was always an odd fixation with the east coast. But it was ONLY when they would get a noreaster. Its one thing to be interested in a storm, but the fixation was lingering, even when a majority of the time they would not see winter weather. All around winter is superior here, the ceiling for storm potential superior there. Should be easy to understand.

    You know who im talking about too

    The fixation on the east coast is wild because it's so one sided. 80% of their winters are zzzz. In fact....they just had a historic snow drought so a historic storm is a perfect middle finger to a few on the main weather forum who acted like it would never snow in NYC again. Feast and famine climate will get the occasional feast.

    Id kill to be on long Island right now but the feast or famine climate of the east coast is a hard pass for me. Our (SE MI) winters are far superior to theirs. I've mentioned i have a snowlover friend on long Island. We talk several days a week for the past 10 years. He says our winters are like a good solid marriage/relationship and theres are like a hot one night stand.

    Picked up 1.7" of snow overnight and this morning however over half of it has melted on the ground (but still clinging to the conifers) despite temps hovering just below freezing and flurries continuing. With the winter snowpack just having melted several days ago, this is the first time all season weve seen "relatively warm ground" and "sun angle" come into play.

    Snowcover and snowstorm climo seems similar at Detroit and Des Moines tho Detroit averages several more inches of snow
  14. michsnowfreak
    The cpc normally forecasts too warm. Still running below avg here.
  15. michsnowfreak
    Pouring rain turned to beautiful snow here in the U.P.
  16. michsnowfreak
    Chicago also experienced the first time Nov, Dec, and Jan had above avg snow since the 1970s. Might as well go low in Feb then get a big march snowstorm
  17. michsnowfreak
    BTW. You'll be happy to know the models suck everywhere. It's pouring in the U.P. and a few days ago this looked like an all snowstorm. The rain should turn to snow this afternoon.
  18. michsnowfreak
    Central Iowa didnt get 15"...but again Des Moines was due. Now let's get @cyclone77ssomething
  19. michsnowfreak
    Theres nothing here. But the snow literally just melted. And if theres anything popping up in the wild after a winter dominated by well below avg temps...something smells funny. But near the heat of a home its not uncommon to see crocuses by mid to late Feb.

    I would never ever survive a winter there. South of SNE goes through torture most of the time. Its really a quite snowless region with the occasional monster storm that pans out. Knowing someone who works for an airline would be a great boon. Live here and pop over when they get a noreaster.
  21. michsnowfreak
    Looks great. Im in the U.P. for a few days. Been such a great winter statewide but was crazy to see how the warmth the last several days erodes the snowpack in the southern 2/3 of lower Michigan. But up here...it got DEEPER! SO much snow.
  22. michsnowfreak
    Heres a wild stat. DTW hit 60+ once in each month DJF for only the 2nd time on record. The other time was a warm winter (1889-90). There have been 10 winters with more 60s and multiple others a match at 3, but not one a month. Whats wild is each month thjs winter was solidly colder and more snowcovered than average.
  23. michsnowfreak
    Lmao thats wild. We each had our biggest storm on a major bust.

    The Euro weeklies are NOT a crystal ball. However that doesn't mean it won't be cold at the end of March. I mean i have no idea what march will bring either, but if the first 2/3 of March was warmer than avg then I would bank on the last third being cold. We've seen it countless times in the past with a slew of snowstorms in the post-March 17th timeframe.
  25. michsnowfreak
    On January 14th we had a 30%-50% chance of snow showers, expecting a dusting, and ended up with 6.2" of snow by the morning of the 15th.
