Christmas Eve 2020 Snow Potential

Finished with 3.6" of powder. Bit of blowing and drifting and very cold, as temps hovered in the upper teens to low 20s the entire event. What a Christmas treat. Since it was a model fail until midday Christmas Eve it was unexpected by most. But it fell on the one day most wouldn't mind. As much as 4-7" was reported near Port Huron. While much less fell west of Eastern MI, it still was an unexpected white Christmas for most with between a dusting and 2".

 

I am at 12.9" on the season. Its been an odd season in that the eastern and southern suburbs of Detroit have seen much more than the north and west suburbs. DTW saw 3.0", putting them at 12.2" on the season.

I finished with 3.4” of snow. Was looking like it would be a whiff to the east until 18ish hours out. This was the second biggest event of the season, with 3.7” on the 16-17th being the largest. December now has 7.6” total accumulation imby, and the season total is 9.8”. Still have a few inches less than surrounding spots. This December, though, has definitely been better than the last two now. Hopefully can snag something as the month ends.

Not sure how to do it in a time efficient way, but it would be interesting to figure out how many times Detroit has gotten to 10" of snow for the season before Chicago got to 1"

I played around a bit on xmacis, looks like its happened 3 times...

1932

2012

2020

 

1932 Detroit hit 10"+ on Nov 16 and Chicago was at 0.6". Season finished at 25.9" Detroit, 28.1" Chicago. 

 

2012 Detroit hit 10"+ on Dec 29 and Chicago was at 0.8". Season finished at 47.7" Detroit, 30.1" Chicago.

 

2020 Detroit hit 10"+ on Dec 25 and Chicago was at 0.9". Season thru Dec 27 is 12.2" at Detroit, 0.9" Chicago.

Thanks.  Just curious, what option did you select on there to do that?

 Well it helps that I have a lot of knowledge in my head about what are the good and bad years in Detroit lol. So I started by looking at snowfall at Chicago through December 31st, Then went down to December 15th. looked at all the years they were under 1" and compared it to Detroit snowfall to see how many of those times Detroit was 10" or more. It's not foolproof but I think I got it lol. Does that make sense?
