The natural storm track always seems to cause deformations to take place over the saginaw valley for some reason... Chicago seems to avoid this fate.

snowstormcanuck Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Precip that broke out ahead should not count since there was a 12+ hrs gap between precip from main storm... It's the same storm though. All associated with the same upper level energy. So, as long as the numbers posted are for "storm totals", they're fine.

michsnowfreak Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 7 hour break per KDTW obs on Wunderground's almanac page. I do remember DTX not counting that first wave in the morning on their storm totals list...which with all due respect I think is absolutely RIDICULOUS. Especially since all other areas counted it as part of the storm. As it is you look at any other cities biggest snowstorms list and you will see multiple storms that have a span of 3-4 days (I remember a few Ive seen that lasted like a week LOL), and no, that does not mean it was snowing for 96 hours straight. Detroits biggest storm list are ALL 1 or 2 days. How ridiculous would it be to actually not count Feb 1 (6.3") and Feb 2 (4.0") of 2011 as one storm. ok, so GHD dropped 9.0" and the mornings 1.3" just doesnt count Only in SE MI do we try to downgrade any storm as much as possible . Not quite a 7 hour break http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KDTW/2011/2/1/DailyHistory.html?req_city=NA&req_state=NA&req_statename=NA Anyway, one of my favorite months STATION: DETROIT MI MONTH: FEBRUARY YEAR: 2011 LATITUDE: 42 13 N LONGITUDE: 83 20 W TEMPERATURE IN F: :PCPN: SNOW: WIND :SUNSHINE: SKY :PK WND================================================================================1 2 3 4 5 6A 6B 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 12Z AVG MX 2MINDY MAX MIN AVG DEP HDD CDD WTR SNW DPTH SPD SPD DIR MIN PSBL S-S WX SPD DR================================================================================ 1 21 15 18 -7 47 0 0.50 6.3 7 13.8 29 70 M M 10 189 40 70 2 25 13 19 -6 46 0 0.38 4.0 12 10.9 25 320 M M 10 149 35 70 3 24 3 14 -11 51 0 0.00 0.0 13 10.7 20 230 M M 1 24 230 4 25 6 16 -9 49 0 0.00 0.0 12 13.3 21 220 M M 1 25 240 5 26 9 18 -7 47 0 0.31 4.8 11 6.1 12 230 M M 7 128 16 260 6 31 22 27 2 38 0 0.05 0.7 16 7.6 16 220 M M 10 18 20 220 7 32 24 28 3 37 0 T 0.1 15 7.0 15 340 M M 9 16 18 350 8 24 9 17 -9 48 0 T T 14 12.0 22 280 M M 6 28 280 9 18 5 12 -14 53 0 T T 13 13.1 20 230 M M 7 24 24010 16 -5 6 -20 59 0 0.00 0.0 13 9.5 18 210 M M 1 18 21 21011 25 -1 12 -14 53 0 T 0.1 12 11.5 22 220 M M 7 26 22012 34 25 30 4 35 0 0.04 0.8 12 14.9 23 300 M M 9 189 35 27013 43 31 37 11 28 0 T T 12 18.4 31 230 M M 8 1 39 22014 43 25 34 7 31 0 0.00 0.0 9 17.9 32 230 M M 5 39 32015 32 17 25 -2 40 0 0.00 0.0 7 4.8 13 140 M M 6 16 14016 50 23 37 10 28 0 0.00 0.0 7 7.0 16 220 M M 8 18 18 24017 54 38 46 19 19 0 0.00 0.0 4 13.5 26 210 M M 10 18 32 21018 54 37 46 18 19 0 0.00 0.0 T 19.7 35 280 M M 6 1 48 27019 39 27 33 5 32 0 0.00 0.0 0 13.8 28 280 M M 1 37 29020 32 22 27 -1 38 0 0.96 8.2 0 7.5 17 60 M M 8 12346 28 21021 27 17 22 -7 43 0 0.15 2.0 9 12.3 20 50 M M 9 146 25 5022 24 7 16 -13 49 0 0.00 0.0 9 7.6 15 50 M M 4 8 20 5023 26 3 15 -14 50 0 0.00 0.0 8 4.0 12 200 M M 7 18 14 21024 36 26 31 1 34 0 0.10 0.8 8 6.6 16 50 M M 10 1468 22 4025 32 18 25 -5 40 0 0.22 3.3 9 11.8 24 330 M M 8 189 32 3026 31 17 24 -6 41 0 0.04 0.6 9 6.4 12 180 M M 9 18 16 31027 39 29 34 3 31 0 0.10 T 9 7.5 16 220 M M 10 138 20 21028 36 25 31 0 34 0 0.75 0.0 5 10.5 22 340 M M 6 13 28 360================================================================================SM 899 487 1120 0 3.60 31.7 299.7 M 193 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 9 straight months featuring below normal normal snowfall (excluding the months that don't average snow). I say this is the end of the line. 15.5" for Feb 2013 imby. what the hell. Negativity doesn't work. Let's try something else. Hey, it worked! Wasn't bullish enough. 17" for the month and it's only the 16th. Quite the plot twist with this winter here in Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
