38.4" here. There were some decent storms this Winter, cant complain about that. In my opinion storms falling apart was not an issue locally. Periods of sustained Winter and more frequent Lake effect and enhanced snow is what was really the lacking aspect.

Always love your videos!

I guess I have not been paying attention because I too had no idea Columbus had that much rain. Detroit is only at 1.58" precipitation for the month, was 1.39" before yesterdays snowfall. Toledo is only at 2.00", was 1.81" before yesterday's snow.

Total snowfall 1.8" here, season total 38.4". DTW had 1.7", season total 38.3". Snowfall was a general 1 to 2.5" in SE MI. The scenes last night were gorgeous, then as melting was already well underway this morning, a last burst of huge feathers came thru.

Wow nice. Snowing beautifully out right now, but only expecting an inch or two, so definitely won't be our best snow of the season lol. Nighttime in late March ftw though, began accumulating on the grass immediately.

What was your biggest snow this season?

Of course, I always welcome snow.

21 degrees rt now. Snow coming this evening, a nice little distraction

I to am working from home until further notice. One of my good friends put up a few Christmas things, I know some people think it's crazy but honestly Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year for many and this whole watching Christmas movies & listening to Christmas music honestly does cheer people up.

Yesterday morning temperature briefly soared into the mid 60s, warmest in 5 months, then after the strong cold front they fell all day and night. This morning dawned with a few flurries and temperatures in the mid 20s, 40ﾟ colder than yesterday at the same time

Haha our deepest snow was before Thanksgiving this year. I always love snow but I get what you're saying. My winter loving mom has almost the same timeframe as you....start at Thanksgiving and end early to mid March. That said, i cant think of anything gloomier during this pandemic than the cold dreary rain falling outside right now.

Shame on anyone that treats you badly!!! I don't know what's wrong with people, this mass htsteria buying was created by the public, not those who serve the public. I've actually been working from home since March 9th. We get one week to work from home a month (last week was my week) during which we have one Skype meeting with our boss to catch up on some stuff. However, effective this week until further notice, the entire office is working from home daily, so we have a quick daily 9am meeting on Skype. I literally texted my boss that I'm going to miss tomorrow's meeting because I have an aldi by my house that I want to get to as soon as they open to get a few essentials. I feel getting there right when they open is my best chance. It's ridiculous that I have to feel like Pa Ingalls out hunting in the wild, but that's what it's come to.

Sitting at 36.4" on the season (36.6" Detroit) since Feb 27....ground bare since March 2nd. Only a trace of snow since...might as well throw in a few spring snows during quarantine.

Pretty much the same as Michigan, effective 3pm today

There is definitely some credence to your grandparents memories. The 1950s winters in this region were mild, overall subpar snow seasons with an unusually high number of spring snowstorms. At Detroit, 1951, 1954, 1955, and 1956 all saw notable snowstorms on or after the spring equinox, and in fact, three consecutive winters (1953-54, 1954-55, 1955-56) saw the seasons largest snowstorm in March.

Congrats to those down south. Certainly no complaints as I know I've lucked out relatively speaking this Winter, but it seems every March we are watching spring type snowstorms track south of here into indiana lol

Oh yes, anytime I work from home I hear that from my friends and family who do not, that I have it made lol. I do understand the distracted and complacent part. As it is when I know my work from home week is coming up I plan my schedule a little lighter lol. Obviously to do it full time it would require a bit more discipline, but it's a discipline that I am ready for.

I love working from home, I would be curious to see if I did it full time if it wasn't "all it's cracked up to be" lol. We had already increased our work from home from a few days a month last year to one week a month this year. Again, I love it. But now that I have to work from home until at least March 30th, it will be interesting to see if I feel any sort of stir crazy or still absolutely love having no commute. Im a nature lover so I to go out to the parks regardless of where I'm working, I love getting fresh air.

I'll be working from home until at least March 30th. Let's sneak in one last snowstorm lol

After 61 on Sunday was our 1st 60+ since October 29th, we hit 63 yesterday and then stayed in the 50s overnight with high dew points. I have a shaded part of the side of my wide driveway, which gets no sun, and has had some form of a snow pile since November 11th (with exception of a few days after Christmas). It with huge just a week ago, it now completely melted overnight.

Without looking up the exact numbers, I would imagine so

Its blank...and I'm curious...

I agree. Lots of 6-10" snowstorms, the 12+ are more rare in the midwest. I'll take our more frequent snows in a heartbeat over a feast or famine climate, but always want the big one.

Only time will tell. Try not to get too jaded about this unusually winter-less winter for the eastern half of the conus. I dont think the annoyances of suppression or cold and dry will exactly be going away anytime soon anymore than "I wish we had more cold air to work with". FYI, I used 2010-11 thu 2019-20 for my "4 of the past 10 winters were colder than avg" but what interesting, if you count the "cold season" of NDJFM, it was an even 5 colder and 5 milder. Even more interesting....in the 10 yr period 2008-09 thru 2017-18, we actually had 6 of the 10 DJF's COLDER than avg here and 7 of the 10 snowier than avg! I used 2009-10 thru 2018-19 for "6 of the past 10 winters were snowier than avg", didnt count this snow season as it is not over. Regardless of what the pattern shows, we have another month and a half before we are out of the woods for measurable snow (and more than that in rare cases). At 36.6", DTW is 0.6" above avg today, but will fall below in a few days. If 5.9"+ doesnt fall before the end of the season, this will still have been a below avg snow season, though certainly not by much.

Not true. 6 of the past 10 winters here had above avg snowfall, and 4 out of 10 were colder than normal. The bottom line is long range forecasting is very difficult and with social media all over the place jumping on extreme model runs, there needs to be much much much more caution thrown to the general public when the seasonal forecasts are issued.
