Roger Smith Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 For those Canadian stations, these are the listed seasonal (and seasonal minus May) normals for 1981-2010: Location ____ Seasonal __ Seasonal except May YHM ______ 156.5 cm __ 156.0 cm ___________ 61.6" _____ 61.4" YXU ______ 194.3 cm __ 193.9 cm ___________ 76.5" _____ 76.3" YTO _______ 121.5 cm __ 121.5 cm ___________ 47.8" _____ 47.8" YYZ _______ 108.5 cm __ 108.5 cm ___________ 42.7" _____ 42.7" YQG _______ 129.3 cm __ 129.3 cm ___________ 50.9" _____ 50.9" If you want to check out any other normal values, this is the source: http://climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/index_e.html I was looking for the recorded values in the main snow belt at Wiarton (YVV) but they appear to be incomplete, these are the normal values for that location: seasonal __ 404.8 cm 159.4" minus May _404.3 cm 159.2" My estimate would be 130-140" for this location so far.

Even more crazy at Detroit, though Im sure they average a few more Oct: 1 Nov: 7 Dec: 20 Jan: 25 Feb: 24 Mar: 12 Apr: 3 TOTAL: 92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Beat here which had 76.. wow that is crazy. Im sure BTL averages more than DTW. Then again, I would have to say for all things combined (snowfall, snow depth, cold) Detroit probably had the most anomalous winter of anywhere in the midwest. And thats saying something for last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thats saying something for last year. Yep.. It was a little odd. What we did great with here is constant snow cover and or days in a row with the ground covered ( Dec 9th till March 27th ) which set a new record.

What we did great with here is constant snow cover and or days in a row with the ground covered ( Dec 9th till March 27th ) which set a new record. Here is a list of arguably 4 of the hardest hit cities (first order stations) last winter with regards to snow/cold anomalies. Toledo is missing a few snowcover days so the number should be a bit higher, but regardless, even though I have a snowcover bias, its hard to not see how Detroit blew the others away with snowdepth. Thats why I would peg them as most anomalous by a hair. ...............SNOWFALL...% NORMAL SNW.....DJF TEMP DEP.....1"+ SNWCVR DYS.....% NORM SNWCVR....10"+ SNOWDEPTH DETROIT.......94.9"................222%..................20.9F (-7.1F).................96...................204%.....................52 days TOLEDO.......86.3"................230%..................20.4F (-7.4F).................76...................190%.....................16 days CHICAGO......82.0"................226%..................18.8F (-7.6F).................84...................195%.....................14 days INDY............55.7"................215%..................24.1F (-6.5F)..................64..................237%.......................8 days Snowcover days SNOW DEPTH....1"+.......3"+.......5"+........10"+......15"+ DETROIT...........96.........80........75..........52.........24 TOLEDO...........76.........68........44..........16...........0 CHICAGO..........84.........64........40..........14...........0 INDY................64.........47........28............8............1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago WX Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I had 67 days last season, with a trace or more snowfall (46 days with 0.1" or more). October: 2 (0) November: 6 (1) December: 12 (8) January: 20 (15) February: 15 (15) March: 9 (6) April: 3 (1) All in all, cold and snow...not going to see another one like 2013-14 around here...anytime soon. But it was pretty much dream winter in the LAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Yeah Detroit's deep snowpack duration numbers were stupid high. Ann Arbors were too, I just didnt include them because they werent a first order climate station. Grand Rapids set some snow depth records too.
