RogueWaves Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 20 hours ago, madwx said: The coldest 3 month stretch of the year averages around December 1 to Feb 28. This shows that for all but a few areas in N lower and E Upper Michigan the coldest 1/4 of the year starts by December 10 Interesting map. Odd how way far N is latest. Lwr Lakes east of Chicago is one of the latest regions in the CONUS yet still KBUF can rake mountains of LES at the drop of a hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueWaves Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Missed this by a day.. As a follow-up I found this from DTX. I'd say this balanced out the bliz of '99 fail for the Thumb region. "Davison" east of Flint is my hometown. This was likely a TOP 3 storm with Jan '67 firmly holding #1 and April '75 in the #2 spot. Been too long since I've seen a good drift-maker (bliz warning of Valentine's Day 2015 to be exact). On This Date in Weather History... December 11 On December 11, 2000, a powerful storm system moved east just south of Michigan, dumping heavy snow across all of the area, with some freezing rain and sleet near the Ohio border. Near blizzard conditions with up to 58 mph wind gusts were found across all of the area, with an outright blizzard in the Thumb. Many schools were closed for two to four days after the storm. Mail delivery the next day was spotty at best, and many businesses and government offices were closed. Specific snowfall amounts and impacts of the storm, by county... Bay: 8 to 10" in Bay City. Genesee: 12-14" fell, along with 4 foot drifts. Flint Bishop International Airport closed in the afternoon of the 11th, and ended up with 14", the third largest snowfall on record. Up to 200 cars were stranded on Interstate 75 just south of Flint during the storm. In Burton, the roof of a window manufacturing company collapsed. Huron: 16.2" in Port Hope. Lapeer: 12-16" near Lapeer (city), with 3 foot drifts. Interstate 69 was closed from Davison to Imlay City. Lenawee: 5.7" in Adrian with some freezing rain. Livingston: 10-15" with 3 to 5 foot drifts. Macomb: 12" across the county. Midland: 7 to 11" in Midland (city). Monroe: 8.5" just southeast of Milan; up to half an inch of freezing rain in Monroe with several trees downed due to ice and wind, and power outages. Oakland: 12" across the county. St Clair: 12.3" near Avoca; 14.7" in Ruby; 17.5" in Yale, 14" in Capac. In Port Huron, 12-20", closing the Blue Water Bridge to Canada. Saginaw: 11" in Frankenmuth with 3 foot drifts, roads drifted shut. MBS (Tri Cities) International Airport had many flights cancelled, and the airport was closed at 830 pm on the 11th. Sanilac: 13" in Brown City. Shiawassee: 15.5" in Morrice. Tuscola: 10-14" in Vassar. In Caro, 16.3" of snow fell with 4 foot drifts. An 18 car pile-up on the north side of town required snowmobiles to rescue stranded motorists. Washtenaw: 8-12" in Ann Arbor; closing Eastern Michigan University for only the second time ever. Wayne: 6-12" across the county; three-eighths inches of freezing rain in Rockwood; At Detroit Metropolitan Airport, 6.1" fell, with 197 departures and 165 arrivals cancelled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Everything including the kitchen sink starting tomorrow in Minnesota. Should see FRDZ transition to cold rain and a few inches of backside fluff imby. @Brian Dand further up the shore could be measuring in feet come this weekend.

OrdIowPitMsp Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Started out with a wintry mix of sleet and snow this afternoon. UHI quickly flexed it’s muscle and transitioned over to 34 and rain which it’s currently doing. Snowpack is looking very ragged. Hi res models have been hinting at a switchover to snow earlier then previously forecasted. Could wake up with a couple sloppy inches tomorrow morning.

IWXwx Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Snow globe finally ended here this morning after continuing almost unabated since Friday afternoon. When combined the five days in mid-November, I don't remember the last time we had snow globe conditions occurring totaling a week before Christmas.

Brian D Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 2-3" of snow on tap maybe a little more, but then temps crashing into the bitter range for the rest of the week. After a string of milder Dec's, this one will make winter lllloong. Oh well, might even have a chance to see record snows this year for some stations. I made note of them in my sig below. Strong start to the snow season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
