Through Feb 22, DTW is running -1.6F on the month, so its safe to say Feb will be a below normal month. Precip has largely been fluffy snow (yesterdays sand notwithstanding), and only a touch of rain/freezing rain, so its one of those weird combinations where precip (1.20") is running a little below normal but snowfall (16.4") well above. Whether we get rain, freezing rain, wet snow, or all of the above, it appears likely the precip departure will switch to the plus side by months end with the incoming storm system.

 

Foggy night  last night here.

Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa state lines south melts off in 2 days.

 

Going to take longer than that back in Iowa. Cold enough air west of Lake MI to keep the storm until the next storm.

 

Running over -4° for the month here.

Decent round of snow has been moving thru today. Picked up an inch yesterday, 1.5" last night, and another 1.5 today, with another 1-2" likely tonight. Season stat padding snow and keeps it all looking fresh. Been 28 most ofthe day.

Norms say we have another 20-25" before the season ends.

 

You're over a 100" for the season right?

 

About 28° for the high today.

Not quite. After today Gaylord will be around 111" so I'd say im 90-95 inches. I wish I'd have kept track better but it's damn near impossible :lol:

I'll be interested to see a oz's season end map totals they do

 

I know it's a job keeping up with frequent snows. Winter of 2007-2008 was hard to keep up with. Especially in February when one system seemed to blend in with another.

For sure!

I remember when I moved up here the third week of Sept last year and was on my way home from the market at 8pm and it started sleeting hard and lightening/thunder/wind. It covered the ground about 1/4". I suppose that was the official start of the snow season tally. Had snow the middle of dec and its been here solidly since. Had One day it almost left but didn't. Locals say hunting season Nov15th, there's usually between 5-15" on the ground and stays from there so it was a month late in staying this year. From perspective, it lived up to all I was hoping for and then some. Couldn't imagine '08/'09 when my town had 180".

Picked up an inch of very high ratio fluffy snow since 6 pm.... real pretty fat flakes falling with no wind too.
I walked outside and could hear the faint hum of snowmobiles in the hills and some drunk ice fisherman across the road on the lake.

 

Webcam here in Antrim County today

 

 

thought this was cool too.
