Stebo Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Very surprising event here, when I woke up and saw that it looked like a line of thunderstorms moving in, I knew we were in for an overachiever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of these days I'm gonna take a ride to the hills during an event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolidIcewx Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Makes up a tiny bit for what happened Sunday night. As Stebo said waking up and seeing a “squall line” on snow coming our way was a good way to wake up imo. Grass for the most part is covered again for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No longer in the mountains I used to live around 24 / Van Dyke area. I have Stoney Creek memorized as I used to go there almost every day roller blading or mtn biking. You have gone the opposite direction I keep moving west and you east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Snowing beautifully out. Missed the heavy band that creamed areas north and west of me though. Crazy to think some will end up with 4 or 5" out of this. Stings a bit less knowing mild weather is immediately on its heals. In any event, with moderate snow falling at the 11am obs, DTW has officially seen the wettest January on record. Stats later. Friend who does salting/plowing (not sure if he posts here sometimes?) said he has had 29 billables this season (dont know what that means lol) and 25 have been in January. Been a very, very active month in southeast MI, both good and bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollydog Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 We are just squeezing every last snowflake out of this system. Up to 4” and still coming down. Will probably finish in the next hour. Not even going to bother with the shovel. Will probably be gone mostly by tomorrow.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWMT30 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Well closing with 5.3" of snow here in Canton, Michigan. VERY VERY VERY PLEASED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo6899 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I'd imagine areas along 59 were the jackpot. Funny possibly the biggest event of the winter might be one where 1-2 were forecasted. Did the band just stall out. What did the models miss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a difference between Flint and MBY for precip. I am over 4" of precip this month and Flint is just approaching 3" today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The warm ones you listed were due to rooftop temperatures. lol I guess you missed where I also noted 400-500 feet in elevation gain. That would be like using NWS White Lake [at nearly 1000'] for Detroit records. A good chunk of the so-called urban heat island effect is simply because cities tended to develop in river valleys or on lake/coastal Plains and the surrounding suburbs and rural sites are in more elevated upland locations.

But obviously the biggest storm of the season so far was Jan 12th. We missed the band early on which got those areas off the ground running, so we finished with 1.8" imby, more inline with the actual forecast lol. Since mild weather is coming, im not nearly as mad as I would be if it was going to be cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event, I have a fair idea of the magnitude of warming since the city office continued to report weather conditions through 1979. It averaged 2.6F warmer over those nearly three decades, and even more so on good radiational cooling nights. There were likely many 5F nights that would have gotten to zero or below at the airport.

michsnowfreak Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 DTW reported 2.4" snowfall on 0.28" liquid today. It's officially Detroit's wettest January on record at 5.25", breaking the previous 1932 record of 5.02". Snowfall for the month, while not a record, was also above average. At 17.0" this ranks is the 27th snowiest January on record. The snowiest January was set 10 years ago (39.4") during the unforgettable 2013-14 winter. Season to date snowfall at DTW is 19.5". I saw 1.8" today, bringing my monthly total to 16.0" and the season to 18.1". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
