sbnwx85 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Nothing on the ground in Mishawaka. Caller in Eau Claire, MI reports 3" on the ground so far. He's annoyed because we only called for an inch. Tough crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Several nice snow showers rolled through throughout the day. Some briefly skifted the ground with graupel. Really felt like winter out there today with the flakes flying and the 40mph winds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnwx85 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Good first snow. Eyeball about an inch at work in Mishawaka. Edit: My snow eyeballs are a bit off. Up to 1.7". 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 After nothing earlier in the day, I started getting heavy snow at 7pm - within 40 mins I had 2-4 inches caking up everything good. Memorable! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestMichigan Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I heard reports of 9"+ from North Muskegon through Whitehall. Grand Haven had 7"+ also. I'd say 1.5" or maybe a little more at my house and I can finally say I have went below freezing for the first time this fall as of 8:55 this evening. Just got it in before November. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Ended up with about 2" on the ground this evening. Ground is white and trees are covered. Looks like winter. Not bad considering the forecast from this morning was only 30% of snow today. Understandable too considering models mainly kept it south and west of here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michsnowfreak Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Had light snow falling during most of trick or treating hours, and it was fun passing out candy in a winter coat with flakes floating down. But at the time heavy snow squalls were splitting me from Flint to Toledo. I thought, did I REALLY just go from Fall-mode to "jealous bc a nearby city got more snow" mode in like 2 days, in October? But later in the evening a nice beautiful burst of snow coated the ground in white...winter is coming fast! Snow totals for Oct 31 were: DTW 0.2", FNT 1.1", MBS 0.5", TOL 0.7", all daily records for Oct 31. The high/low of 41°/27° (mean temp 34°) made it the 5th coldest Halloween on record at Detroit, but coldest since 1923. The real interesting stat tho, since snow records began in 1880, this was only the 7th Halloween to see snow, but 4 of the 7 years have been the last decade (1917, 1955, 1993, 2014, 2017, 2019, 2023)! With the last flakes of last season May 2nd and the first flakes Oct 31, in 2023 (barring something unprecedented in Nov-Dec), only 4 calendar months (JJAS) will have had no snow. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 On 10/31/2023 at 11:40 AM, TheClimateChanger said: Some of the 2.6" appears to have fallen yesterday, so it won't all be attributed to the 31st (snowfall was shown as missing from yesterday's climate report). Depending on how much fell yesterday, it will still be second or third highest daily total. Yeah, it got split by the midnight hour. 0.9", and 1.8".

Stebo Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Had a DAB at home but as you got further west there were some decent accumulations, my mom lives in the far western part of Warren, and I would say she had about an inch on the grass this morning around 6AM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they have snowfall records back to 1874 on xmACIS2. A trace was also observed in 1874 & 1875. 1874 1875 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A trace was also observed in 1874 & 1875. 1874 1875 I was going to mention 1874-75 in my original post but didnt. So it's weird. Snowfall records technically date to the beginning of the climate record, which is November 1, 1870. (Happy 153rd birthday of weather records, Detroit ). However, due to some inconsistencies, including some missing data as well as some erroneous snow listed, even though MOST of the 1870-79 record is complete, since there are multiple missing data & errors scattered throughout the 1870s, DTX elects to consider snowfall officially as starting in 1880. It's kind of annoying since so much of the data is there and seems reliable, especially when you compare it to newspapers of the time, but have to stay consistent for records purposes so I quote snow data as starting in 1880. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
