MIstorm97 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Had some decent snow showers in the metro Detroit area this morning. Will be interesting to see if any squalls make it down here later today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoboy645 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Funnily enough Sunday is the 30th anniversary of this storm. https://www.weather.gov/mkx/051090-spring-snowstorm. This storm dropped up to 6 inches in a band from Green Bay to Waukesha. Unfortunately the heavy snow caused a ton of tree damage. What's weird is that that winter also started early in October.It is just odd hoe this year has followed 1990 almost to a T patterns-wise. Hopefully that continues as the second half of that month turned out to be pretty warm and stormy for the region. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Waukegan (UGN) is only 38 degrees at 12 noon, with a WC of 30. Midnight high was 41. ORD had a midnight high of 45, and is currently 43 with a WC of 34. So, the record low max of 42 in 1960 will hold. In WI, the coldest low temp I found this morning was 21 in Minocqua. In Rhinelander at 12 noon, it's 29/8, WC 20. Dropped to 24 there this morning, just missing the May 8th record low of 22 set in 2017 and 1929. Normal low is 38. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Snowfall at Detroit during the 2 winters was very close (1989-90 had 41.8" and 2019-20 had 43.2"). Although 1989-90 was quite a bit colder over all, both had out of season blasts of cold and warm weather as well as early and late snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
