A-L-E-K Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Also lost out on a chance for a tie for the least snowiest December on record. Disaster. Boo snow. 1) T - 1889 and 1912 2) 0.1" - 1943 3) 0.3" - 1906 and 1871 4) 0.4" - 1986 5) 0.5" - 1939 and 2011 yeah i'd have rather had an epic bad start than just a plain bad start. .5-1" of snow is only enjoyable if it A-falls during the day and B-freshens a real snowpack.

michsnowfreak Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 We had 0.8" of snow with 0.05" water content (exact same at DTW). Its fluffy snow yet some parts of the sidewalk are just wet (most snowcovered) owing to the generally mild weather weve had so far. Looking at reports/webcams, looks like ONCE AGAIN Ann Arbor area was the jackpot with near 2". Also looks like southern Oakland county also did a little better than most. Just like the last snow event, the models yesterday were saying no snow here (it would all be in northern Ohio) and they were wrong. Based on whats happened to our n, s, e, w, the last 10 days southern Michigan seems to be the place to be for whatever crumbs of snow this crappy pattern will yield. Will be interesting to see how things progress once we get into a good pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't pull for snow futility records, but I understand your reasoning. To each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmc76 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Its quite possible and reachable for someone to get over 2"+ here in the Detroit area. 1.5" here so far Southern michigan doing all right...considering how uneventful snow wise it has been in the MW. Approaching 7" for the season and I know some spots are well over 10" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpartyOn Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 DTW should be a couple of inches of above norm for the 9th of Dec with today's snow. Unreal that with this pattern we have DTW is above the norm. BTW looks beautiful outside and flirting with around 2 inches in Royal Oak with mod SN. Edit: make that -SN.

Thunder Road Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Solid coating here. Guesstimating about 0.8" by looking out the window, although I'll measure when I head out for my 10:10 class. And the snow is still falling too, (very lightly of course) thanks to a little bit of lake enhancement, although that should rap up soon enough as the winds curve from their current NW to a more W direction.

hm8 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Yeah, another great mini-event here. 1.5" so far and mod SN right now... Big flakes. Snow is also sticking to more than just the grass for the first, which makes it all the more awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Martin Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Measured about 1" of snow here in downtown Findlay this morning. Everything is coated in snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundersnow12 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Looks like IKK FTW. I wonder when some of these were measured. Took mine around 5 30am when it was still dark. Sun melting things quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Road Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I measured 1.2" and 1.5" in the grass. I'll probably end up calling it 1.1" because those are grass measurements and marginal events are usually inflated by measuring in the grass.

Hoosier Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Looks like a couple tenths here. Yawn. Really? I'd estimate about a half inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 records/anomalies FTW indeed... if we're not going to see any decent snow, at least we had a record to chase. this has been my reasoning all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizardMafia Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Was at the house having new internet service installed this morning (so long AT&T U-Verse). Had a few light snow showers move through, maybe a T at best and that would be on the grass.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Ended up with 0.9". Was nice, though it did settle throughout the day so now there is about 0.5" left, so you can see plenty of grass. Up to 4.0" on the season imby, 5.1" at DTW. Hasnt been a lot of snowcover, but we are doing better than most other places. SW MI is the jackpot so far. Interesting that, once again, models had NO snow in Detroit 12 hours before the system arrived. The snow was to stay in northern Ohio (the best stuff well south of Toledo). Instead what happened? Detroits NORTHERN suburbs where the jackpot with around 2", while DTW south had 1 inch or slightly less. About the only model worth anything lately is the HRRR.

Indystorm Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Drove back from Indpls to Elkhart this morning. Only scattered flurries during drive. About 2 inches of snow to whiten things up again here. Will soon be gone with coming warm up starting Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
