  1. Agree on the topic of using the cold 60's & 70's (and first half of 80's) as the benchmark, even though that's exactly what climate science cites for their arguments. The past (3) JAN's were cold, just fraught with BN snowfall. I hate to say it, but gimme some damned Clippers already. They were the best feature of last winter.
  2. None of which has gone our way this winter or last. No matter how rosy model portrayals are, most of my qpf has fallen as liquid. I'm still shaking my head that I had to record a Storm Warning for what ended up being just 2.5" of snow.
  3. And that's just for disco, lol. Getting anything to break right for this region has been like scoring on 4th and 60.
  4. Detroit proper - not a chance. Points N maybe. If I had to put $$ I'd go with NMI (perhaps CMI) being cold enough. More cold rain in my forecast no doubt. Helps with low hydro so hard to complain too much.
  5. But we had that nonsense mojo in 13-14
  6. Ikr, so what happened on the updated map?? Looking at SEMI the amts were lowered across the board, lol
  7. Funny how Detroit's biggest snowstorm happened smack-dab in the middle of the 1880's. One of the decades with the most warm temperatures. But also home to the previous harshest winter of record 1880-81 so that was quite the decade of extremes. Clearly, the 1900's and 1970's with the coldest against average temperatures produced some of the other notably historic snowstorms around here. This place does best with cold as a background state.
  8. Two Michigan cities among snowiest in U.S. over last 30 years, Old Farmer’s Almanac says (msn.com)
  9. Kinda surprising we don't see this more often tbh. At least we get the other 3.5 seasons here
  10. * "in spots" is a term often applied to the North American regions known as MSP and BUF
  11. Yeah, you Chicagoans (and surrounding CWA's) got the real-deal SEMI treatment by the models. I'm trying to get used to it, but not sure that's ever gonna happen.
  12. K, I looked and yeah I too scored 18" in Marshall with a mostly warm month. But you'd have to agree that chips need to fall just right to get that outcome and unlike 17-18, this ongoing pattern hasn't been as friendly. To your other post from LC. I agree, each month's "arctic blast" is longer than the previous, thus Dec's was longer than November's. It is still an "arctic blast" or nothing temp regime and we have to get much luckier in the storm timing dept than we were this time around.
  13. Sorry, I don't trust mild for this region. Prove me wrong - anyone
  14. Not for me back in Marshall. Tho I got to see it visiting my sister's place in Birch Run.
  15. Imagine if he lived in the balmy Mitten! There's a nursery with palm trees lining the front along Ford Rd. He should ditch SEWI and get somewhere he can really get behind, lol
  16. Cooler and tolerable summer. Hardly ran the A/C which was nice. Too much gives me sinus issues. One strong T-storm the entire warm season. Combined with C-19 last January, 2022 is a most forgettable year. Goodbye and good riddance! Edit: First White Christmas in 5 years was good too ofc
  17. If you don't live in the Dakotas, MSP, KBUF or some other LES region, there hasn't been a "winter"
