While snow cover lasted after 1/25, this week's storm was by far the best of the season. That was my main point. Snow rates were very similar to two other events in the last notoriously warm winter 11/29/11 in Marshall, and 3/3/12 in NWMI. I will take a good grinder storm any day, but the intense storms are always exciting.

here we go...again
-
@michsnowfreak Feeling like I owe you an apology. More legit winter happened. In fact, the BEST of this winter happened, lol. Stranger things have happened, I just can't remember when.
-
No! More! Damage storms pls. I'm good for a while
-
DARK (k)NIGHT here alive and well living a pseudo 19th century lifestyle, lol
-
Almost a given we get a nice sunny day after a S stream SW hits and departs. Awesome storm, fun to see cars stuck on snowy roads in the metro. Thanks to snow actually accumulating on the pavement this time, plow banks and piles are legit. Only minor negative is I'm still one of these stats:
-
Still in the dark. DTE site did not have good news. They have yet to assess the cause and planned recovery time. Peeked outside and saw a blue green flash. Transformer? Idk, but phone batt is not going to last too long.

Hold that jealousy. Eating a cold dinner by candlelight here in Canton. Starting to get chilly. Entire complex went dark an hour ago. Rumbles continue. Drive home about 5:30 was a crawl.
-
Because I was.. 1) Done with this lame-ass winter 2) Wrote this off 2 days ago 3) Promised to eat my words if it came full circle for DTW OFC!
-
I'm ok with flat (storms)
-
About 24 hrs ago I wrote this off saying it wouldn't come full-circle for DTW. Might have words to eat if this keeps up.
-
Wrote this off as a rainer yesterday for DTW. WPC keeping us in the heavy "something" zone.
-
maybe
-
As we've seen many times this winter. Primarily when the thermals are mega-borderline. Some have still managed to produce a very narrow snowstorm zone, while others have just been cyber snow and little more.
-
Either way. I'll ride the 34F and rain as a slight majority. Let's call it 50/30/20% for RN/ZR/IP outcome from here. And no, we won't need skates since our ground is anything but frozen. The ISW wasn't about slippery roads at all, nor can this be if ZR actually plays out. WPC does not see a snowstorm in our future
-
This is 1/25 on 'roids...and going NW of us. Gonna b 34 Rainer for DTW again. Yay. But, we need the hydro
-
I'd rather push the ignore button until it's inevitable. That's what I did with the S trending ice storm. It is a lot more fun "tracking" when you know it's real and not going poof like the Christmas Big Dog. I'm not into the pessimism posts. Gave that up after the Jan 25th storm held.
-
Man, we sure are hungry for model abuse in here.
-
It missed "snowless" already, but now it's just another well BN month, like fractionally so.
-
I thought that's what you're doing out there every day, lol
-
There's your "more winter". Getting our late March inchers a month early. Tbh, the ice storm was my final interest of the season. Moving on from the cold season so when I opened the door to all white this morning not only was it a small surprise but a bit of a let-down lol, even tho it's mostly gone. Looking for sun and decent conditions going into March. Prolly go the other way and get a "reverse spring" as has been the norm in this Tri-Nina.
-
Not a fan of ice, but this storm actually elevates the winter grade in my book.
-
March 1976 was the epic all-timer with 2+ inches of ice centered along the M-46/Saginaw corridor. I skated down the street in my neighborhood. Presuming they are referring to that one not quite 50 years ago. It was bad as in Genesee Cnty, but not sure about Detroit Metro.
-
Glad it's not worse for you. When I saw GRR's graphic saying up to 3/4" ice and "as bad as 2013" I figured someone in that zone would be in trouble. A lot of trees in your area. So far, I have branches sagging, but haven't heard any breaking. I may just barely escape damage by the slimmest of margins.
-
Glad to hear. So far, so good here as well.
