Torchageddon Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I woke up to a nice surprise of sunny skies and a temp far above what was predicted for 8am, 12C! Finally a forecast that busted far too low. Strangely the stations are all showing overcast curr obs. At one point I was expected to have 86 km/h gusts - so far there are a few strong breezes here and there but nothing much sustained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwx Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Been getting mostly sleet this morning with a few bursts of snow since the changeover. Luckily the back end of the defo band is only an hour or so away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Scene here at my house earlier today as the system departed and before the lake effect kicked in. Moderate to at times heavy snow falling now with a temp of 25 degrees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to go survey a couple of damage reports, one destroying an attached garage. Ended up with 0.70" total as the deformation precip exploded overhead last night. Also picked up 0.3" of wet snow, which was enough to bump us over the 19" mark for the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I would if I were you, unless it's a big memorable storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both DVN and MLI breached the 20" mark, as they did better than here with that bizarre north to south clipper back in January or February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are getting some light rain this evening and is trying to flip to snow, but we'll see no where near 0.70". Also, this happened a few blocks from my house at 5 AM this morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it would be a psychological thing lol. Crack 20" anyway you can. I've had a few low-mid twenties winters in my life but Detroit has not seen a sub 20" Winter since 1968-69.

For this area (I assume cyclone's area is similar) <15" winters are rare, but 15-25" is pretty typical in bad winters. Over the last fifteen years, my worst winters are 21", 20", and 17". I was fortunate to get 26" this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwx Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 March finished exactly at average for temps in Madison. Was the 6th wettest March on record, over 2.4 inches above average. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had some pretty terrible winters the past decade, but a few have been great. I feel we really paid our dues this winter and mother nature owes us big time next season lol. I'm sure that's how that works, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that's how that works, right? I have seen a few low to mid 20s winters in my lifetime but nothing lower. The Winter that my mom was pregnant with me, 1982-83, DTW finished with 20" on the dot, over half of which fell in Spring. Would have been a historically horrendous Winter had it not been for a few Spring snows. And honestly, though you were joking, I know very well that things with weather even themselves out over time. Does it mean you will have a record snowy Winter next year? Absolutely not. But your average is your average for a reason, so I'm sure better times lie ahead for you.
