I live at 16 and hayes and was a mix of snow and pingers. Just 5 miles north it was all snow. The dividing line always seems to end up in the same area. Easily an inch or 2 already with the band stalling overhead. Could be a interesting overachiever in central oakland/macomb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baum Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 The fact Michiganders are having a back and forth over 1" wet snow event in mid December might say more about the futility were in versus the ORD record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be surprised if some areas get 3-4” where the band sets up the best. Sucks that this is all sleet here.

"Back and forth over a 2-4" event". Dont get too frustrated. While were at our average, its taken over 16 hours to get that 4-6 total snow we've seen this winter. You're not missing much. We will all cash in soon and my gut is telling me there will be a few big dogs to come soon, probably more to our north and west here in SE MI. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Riding the hot hand in Minneapolis, another 1”+ overnight certainly helped refresh our snowpack and put the season to date total imby over 17” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you're not missing a big dog. I was hoping we'd get one here in december as I'm making the drive south for Florida next week for the next 3 months. I suppose the weenie in me could catch a flight home if a big dog looks likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up_north_MI Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 We’re probably a little over 3” so far here in the thumb just south of I-69 in St Clair county, actually surprised we’ve got this much already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Good to see ORD eacaped the DAB event. Would have been a bummer to have it ruined by a nocturnal DAB at that. Picked up 0.2" of snow here, which brings us to 0.5" for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, many areas in our area are nearly average for snowfall so far this season but this morning was the first time I’ve plowed the driveway this season, the previous times we’ve received a grass covering snow down here in the thumb it’s melted of the asphalt drives in a day or less. Without any rain and the low sun angle right now I feel some of the snow we received around here this morning has a “chance” of sticking around this week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If plows are out, you should at least have piles survive. Road crews worked 2 of the 3 Nov clippers down my way, but with all the torching, the last plow pile I saw was this past Sunday. It's a Nina, active but not known for staying power. Just ask Gaylord how that's gone for them. Heck, I think even the Keweenaw has seen it come and go so far.

Hoosier Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 Chicago's latest measurable record is so going down. Twice in 10 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Got the kitchen sink here but only a trace of snow sleet accumulation. Wasn't really expecting much but had hoped for at least some white. Season sits at 7.1", of which 6.6" fell in Nov. DTW is at 7.7", of which 7.1" fell in Nov. Still plenty of December left, especially with a post Christmas pattern change looming, but if we end up with more snow in November than December, that will be the 5th time in the past 8 years that has happened. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up_north_MI Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Ended up with about 3” here in the southern thumb, about 2.5” more then what I thought we would have got. Definitely looking like Christmas time out there now which is nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Both MLI and DVN picked up 0.1" of snow early this morning, bringing both location's seasonal snowfall total to 0.3". I think that's worse than a T, as at least areas without measurable snow have something interesting to make a record out of lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
