ams30721us Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 DVN & MLI are now over 15" for the month, with most of that falling over the past 8 days of snow. Pretty impressive period for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I'm at 11.2" for the month. It has been active, but no big snowfalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenBo Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Late winter sun is doing its thing today. Lots of melting and drying on the surface roads around the area. Pack is slightly compacting too. Stick a fork in the snow pack by weeks end. A few opportunities for SW winds and 40s. Typical La Niña Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical La Niña We will not lose this big snowpack by weeks end. It will definitely melt some though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Tremendous icicle production around here the past few days. The sun is warm enough that there's been a decent amount of melting on the rooftops. Seeing many houses with ice daggers of death more than 5-6 feet long dangling towards the ground. Got down to -3 this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmillzz Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 That east ridge is pure silliness. GFS showing some 70s as far north as NY by next week, and looks like some of our Ohio posters could see temps even warmer than last Feb. This month had the potential to be very warm for the entire subforum, just got unlucky (per usual). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmillzz Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 It doesn’t even make sense that we’ve been as cold as we have lately. Almost seems like a miracle as teleconnections haven’t been favorable for cold at all, and we’re still in the warm phase of the MJO I believe. Troughs just love to magically appear out of nowhere it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, all 3 winter months should finish colder than normal at Detroit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I did not realize this until I heard elsewhere.... But thru Feb 11th, Detroit was sitting at 3rd snowiest winter on record to that point. The top 5 snowiest seasons THRU FEB 11 1.) 70.8" - 2013-14 2.) 56.9" - 1977-78 3.) 52.5" - 2017-18 4.) 51.4" - 1974-75 5.) 50.4" - 1929-30 We still need 6 more inches before we crack into top 20 all time snowiest winters, but again, it just serves as a reminder that we still have 2 months of measurable snow potential to go, and that its been a very snowy winter so far.

That was highly anomalous and there's no telling how long it will be until it happens again. It's much more likely to have cold shots/snow in March.

First temp above freezing since the 4th with today's 33. Lost a few inches since Sunday. Still a good 9" out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeselandSkies Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 March 2012 was way TOO warm (and dry) for so far north so early. I'll gladly take 60s, even 70s in March and early April (with a much colder layer above, and an inversion in between until about, say 5-6 PM or so), but days and days of 80s is just asking for crop damage and drought as we saw.

GreenBo Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 The odds of ever seeing a Morch again are slim to none. At least, not in this lifetime. Que the cool lake breezes and 50s until late April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's dependent on your definition of "Morch" but it will happen from time to time. I'm pretty sure there were a few quasi-Morch Marches in the 1990s though I can't remember exactly when.

I think the 2012 reference coincided with a week long stretch of 80s. I believe you have to go back to the 1940s to find a close match. Very anomalous.
