Jonger Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I wonder if Howell, MI has the most season to date snow in the entire state of Michigan right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Looks like the CFS nailed the temperature forecast on the last day of October. Precip is more of a toss up - 28th isn't a bad match. November stats here. Of course it was mild and wet. It was the wettest November that I ever can remember at 5.26". And it was the snowiest I've ever seen it. Meant to add 5 days in the snow cover box. +4.48° Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzucker Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 How much did Houghton and Marquette get in 72-73, the third strongest Nino on record? It sounds as if 72-73 was a distinctly better strong Nino winter for the Upper Midwest/Lakes compared to 57-58, 82-83, and 97-98 which were unmitigated torches and snowless. 57-58 and 97-98 were the two least smowiest for Houghton. Any stats on 72-73 up north? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Looks like Marquette had 80.0" and Houghton had 205.6" in 72-73. If you look at % of average snowfall, you can see that a couple zones did pretty well in 72-73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Looks like Marquette had 80.0" and Houghton had 205.6" in 72-73.72-73 had a colder Dec with more of a -PNA pattern, which looks to have sent quite a few systems through the Central/Northern Plains given that anomaly distribution. Definitely a very different El Nino that 57-58, 82-83 and 97-98 which were downright awful in the Lakes and LES regions. The strongly PDO may have given that winter a different signature.

Powerball Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Officially, November 2015 tied for the 6th warmest on record in Detroit (along with November 1963). The average temperature was 46*F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average temperature was 46*F. Yup, tied for 6th warmest but also 21st snowiest at Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 MQT Negaunee:5th warmest Nov +6.24th least snowiest Nov -17.7" (-22.4" season to date) The lack of snow is a big topic of conversation. I think it's fair to say this will be a clunker of a season for the upper lakes. Even if we can squeak out some decent snow (which we will), a lack of sustained cold will likely prevent any "decent" long term snowpack, which the UP relies on. A positive... the deer herd could really use a break from brutal Winters. ......and 2nd warmest fall on record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A positive... the deer herd could really use a break from brutal Winters. I think most of us pretty much expected a poor winter, but we are still early in and will no doubt see some snow at some point. Another positive is my gas bill wont take a beating like it has the last two winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 There can easily be excellent stretches of winter coming up. It's still 19 days til the Solstice! The only thing the north country is guaranteed to lose is time. You can't make up time lost but there's no reason there won't be great stretches of deep snow when winter sets in.
