Christmas 1935


Chinook

Recommended Posts

The recent forecasts for some type of northern stream storm around Christmas Eve reminded me of Christmas 1935. On this day, a storm that you might call a "Manitoba Mauler" zipped across the Lakes and went to the East Coast. It dropped temperatures to around 0 in this region and brought brief heavy snow and wind conditions, perhaps localized blizzard conditions, to the southern Lakes.

From what I've read, the winter of 1935-36 was legendary in the Midwest and east.

It was a harsh winter here, but certainly not legendary. It does stand as the 9th coldest on record, but total snowfall was 36.8", the largest storm was just 4.4", and the peak snow depth 7". There were 61 days with 1"+ snowcover (about 11-13 days more than normal).

 

The Christmas event posted about dropped 3.3" of snow at Detroit with temps between 18F-22F. The measurable snow fell from about 8am to 10pm, so perfect timing.
