Doesn't help that 55 through that area is flat, straight, and basically an 85+ mph drag strip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Left the snow stick in the drive and it's measuring 18 inches now. The snow is so dense it's blue, and point has another 17" between tonight and tomorrow with several more possible today as an uptick in rates, possibly the heaviest of the storm coming this afternoon... some crazy shit up here. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Significantly better day here today compared to yesterday's trash. Luckily the clouds cleared enough that temps rocketed into the low 60s. Even with the 50mph winds it felt pretty nice out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to the "Urban Heat Island Effect," conditions like these no longer occur. I love reading about those old pre-record days. I have a book by bella hubbard called "memorials of a half century" which details his time in the detroit area from 1837 to present-day 1887. It's fascinating and he goes into detail on weather/seasons. Maybe in the summer if I have time I will do a post detailing some of that. May 2020 had snow fall on 5 days (consecutively no less) which had never happened before (May 8-12, with 0.5" on the 10th). May 2016 had exceptionally late snow (15-16th). The latest official flakes for Detroit were May 31, 1910 and the latest measurable was an incredible 5.0" on May 21/22, 1883. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the final two weeks of May we expect to see a transition to a pattern that will resemble the first week of May with below-seasonal temperatures returning to Ontario and Quebec and above-seasonal temperatures across most of Western Canada, especially Alberta. pretty much not anticipating an abrupt shift to summer this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
